Aww at the Diamond anniversary couple. My Great Aunt & Uncle will reach that milestone in 16 months time.

I know what you mean about friendship - I've been friends with my best mate I suppose officially since we were in nursery school some 36 years ago now. I've just about lost contact with all my other school friends apart from her.

We're about a week ahead of you in that Freshers was last week even though the PGDE had been in by 4 weeks at that point!
