just sent it-put the paper title in 'subject' - let me know if any probs opening it :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words of advice and encouragement-its really helped.

I have made my list of errors- so going to take it along and mention it (if the mistakes are raised in the viva). I'm trying to keep calm and positive-just got so upset/lost all perspective yesterday when I first found all the problems :(

I have it-saved it to my desktop as PDF-do you want me to e-mail it to you?:-)

I am life sciences student and have my viva (3wk this Wed)- to say I'm terrified is an understatement.

What's made it worse is I have spotted some repetitive errors in a Chapter which I know is caused from copying and pasting Fig legends- my fault completely (I evidently didn't pay due care and attention) and me and my supervisor did not see these pre-submission. My thesis is quite a large one with alot of repetitive data (which will probably annoy the examiners already) and now I have spotted all these errors I feel so hopeless. On the plus side the description of the data is right in the text but a number of the legends have sloppy errors.

I already have little confidence in my work and this has really knocked me. Does anyone know if after a certain number of errors -does a thesis have to constitute major corrections or if I identify the errors (in a typed list) could this still constitute minor corrections?

Can't tell you how much is riding on the viva. My PhD was 4 years but only funded for 3- so I had to self fund for a year which pretty much bankrupted us. I found out yesterday I have a job offer (post viva) but I am worried sick about failing/ having to go back in academia to get more data as it could cost the job/house as we can't manage any-more.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated- should I draw attention to these mistakes with the examiners (I would correct them anyway pre-final submission)?? I am already so scared to tell my supervisor.
