Thanks for replying, madisgram. I don't really have many friends at home, unfortunately. I'm going to try and meet up with some friends from school, but one of them's a two hour train ride from here and is likely to be staying at uni over Easter, and the other's a medic and is probably going to be studying as well, I think she has a work placement during the holidays... However, I'll hopefully be able to meet up with my boyfriend quite often, given that I won't have lots of deadlines to work towards - only one exam and one presentation after the holiday. He doesn't live particularly close to home, but he doesn't live very close to uni either and we still manage.

Dad isn't in the house very much in the evenings - he's in a mountain biking club and they meet up every week, plus he plays tennis - but hopefully we'll be able to spend some evenings together. My sister's holiday has been postponed until the summer so we're all going to IKEA on Sunday to replace some things mum took with her when she left...
