I was going to leave about 18 months ago

but stuck at it 'because'. I have interest in what I do anymore. I have no interest in finishing this course. I. Want. Out.

Bear in mind I finished my paid studentship bit last september and I finished being paid by the university on monday. I have no contract with the university, I am not an employee there. I am meant to be finding a proper job right now cos I'm living off my own savings now.

Then I don't see

what your problem is. Get out if you want out
it sounded like you regretted walking out before

It's odd

I do, cos I left stuff undone, and I don't, cos it was killing me (both metaphorically and semi literally)

Proper Advice.

Lose them now.

Take what you have and apply to another place that might even value what you do, and won't treat you like that! They are seriously taking the piss.

I know I come across as rather intense, but I honestly believe that the knowledge and information you have is valuable. Liverpool is relying on the fact that you are doing this as a favour, and cannot mind much if you bail out now. Especially when you ain't getting a cheque!!!!

NB I still don't understand why they would withold your PhD tho?

It's not a witholding issue

I'm not up for finishing. I may have spent 3 years at it, but now I don't care.

Oh!

Well get on with it you pussy! ;0) You are just feeling all sensitive and unloved. Do it, then leave. Sharpish!!

you do have a contract with them

Its just implied from the previous contract you had with them that has run out
