    I have only one pair of wellies but they are still ok so can't justify buying any more just at the minute. Saw some silver ones with bling when we were on holiday they were about £70 too!

    Hiya Taka
    you're going to the scottish meet aren't you?

    How's life?

    Yep... Slightly scared about it though... :o :rotfl:

    Your wedding plans sound fun and very (stripely) you! :D

    Life... whats that then??? :rotfl: Nahhhh I'm OK I think. Was for a while dreaming of doing a PhD but it looks like the only possible route is for me to self fund (:eek:) a MSc 1st and I'm not convinced its worth spending that much on (in my field)... so don't really know what to do instead! :rolleyes: Its a bit soul destroying to see loads of really fab Postdocs unable to get fellowships and ending up leaving academia or even science altogether... I don't really want to spend £20k (that I don't really have) to be like that too in a few yrs... :confused::o Sigh...

    Yeah for stripey wellies! :T :rotfl:
