Thank you Aodhan,
It's really encouraging to get your mail and can empathise with what you express. I haven't got to have another viva just resubmit. This is OK I suppose but also takes away the opportunity to defend my resubmission which will just seem like a silent handing in when i get to that stage.
That's really great that all you have to do are minor corrections now, good luck you are nearly there.
Thanks for your support and wishes to keep on.

Thank you Saatchi,
It's good to know there's people out there who understand what a HUGE thing doing a PhD is, it's hard for family and non phd friends to appreciate and sometimes i think they must wonder why i'm even doing one but it is a challenge that i decided to go for, just hadn't expected to have to resubmit but guess it's not a MPhil referral and not a fail. Just a case of keeping on a bit longer....
Thank you for your encouragement.
I'm just trying to get my head around the recommendations and reapply myself to it all. There's so much else going on in life that i had put on hold until 'after my PhD' but that 'after' has just got further away.
Trying to take the approach of one day at a time and bit by bit but feels like i have been doing this for so long already.
Encouragement really does help and knowing others are out there battling to finish too.
Has any one else out there been doing their PhD for more than 4 years and is registered full time?
If you have have you submitted?
Any tips on how to keep motivation up after being told to resubmit would be much appreciated.
Feel like the PhD has been dominating my life and my family's for so long now.
I've worked really hard on my PhD and was relieved to get it submitted early this year. It felt like the summation of a harsh mountain climb juggling financial survival along with the deaths of close ones along the path. It felt so hard to be given the news that it had to be resubmitted.
I'm now finding it hard to get back into it and to work out where to begin with the examiners recommendations or how to re approach it all mentally.:-(
