Weight left to lose to reach target 5kg (11 lbs)

In other news, my application for funding is just waiting for the head of department at UpNorth Uni to sign it and then it's getting sent off to the ESRC. I was telling someone about it all at church yesterday, and realised that the potential for things to go really pear-shaped is still quite high. I'm applying for one of about 40 or so funded places, and there will be vastly more than 40 applicants I'm sure. They're still not certain about the Graduate Teaching Assistantship yet at the Uni (though it's still on the agenda), which is my backup position, so if that doesn't happen I could still be stuffed. So selling my house and handing in my notice at work have become very large acts of faith. A few months ago and the whole thing on paper seemed do-able and not scary. Now I'm in the thick of it, I can say that it's very very scary indeed.
