A quick update (for those that are interested): I had a very strange sort of thesis-related panic attack on Thursday (in the local library, I got myself into such a tizzy about it I felt myself starting to get the shakes and wanting to curl up in a little ball, so I took myself back home for a cup of tea before I actually let any of it out verbally!), then spent most of Friday in bed with a migraine, then went to uni yesterday to sit in the library without the distractions of the internet or the fridge contents and got TONS done in just a few hours. The long and the short of it is that I now have an extra chapter (made from dividing chapter 1 into two, not that I wrote an entire chapter from scratch), and my 3 empirical chapters have been cut and pasted to within an inch of their lives, but now make a lot more sense. The final empirical chapter is several thousand words too long, so I need to chop out some repetition from previous chapters and move a few bits into previous chapters, but other than that there's just occasional odd sections here and there that need adding throughout and I'm almost there! So that's today's job, along with finishing the introduction and marking an OU essay and devising an exercise on referencing that I've been promising my OU students for ages. Better get on with it then.
