Thanks! Been bursting to tell everyone but I've had to be careful with how much I shared etc - especially when I didn't know if it would be this semester, or next. It's been a tentative 2 months (probably aiding my frustration at the rest of the research/social media world!) The knot in my stomach has gone so that's got to be a good thing!

Must be one of the worst kept secrets in my Twitter network that you're coming over to us and moving the PhD to Scotland, but glad we can talk openly about it now. Looking forward to working with you.

LOL - I know. I am crap at keeping things quiet when I'm offline - it's been really frustrating not being able to talk about it (or my work at that!), but now all loose ends are tied with Leicester, I can actually start getting going with stuff.
Seems like madness this morning, but when we've got spare moment we can start to plot ways in order to take over the world. 5 year plan innit. ;-)

Darn; sorry missed you at the Social Media Cafe thing last friday; couldn't make it in the end. Will see you around for coffee no doubt.
PhD: fortune favours the brave. If it isn't working out, it is (very) right to do something like changing university. Good move; better than staying put and research moving in a direction you are not comfortable with.

I think I was about to grind to a halt with the current PhD - this situation works out for everyone (and I'm already planning projects with others, and it is only in the first week, rather sitting around on my own like I did most the time in Leicester, more to do with blending of research interests, rather than feeling like I'm dragging people into places they don't like.)
Hopefully we'll get the chance to catch up at another BSMC (or something else in the area) :-)

Thanks love - trying to switch my mindset from looking for stuff to do that relevant - to actually making the time to think. It's all very exciting and I'm glad I get to spend time in Scotland again! :-) x
