    Just thought I would add redfraggle that your incoming/outgoings are very similar to ours.
    I rang the OR this morning as I have not heard since going BR 4months ago.
    No IPA!!!!!!!:j

    No news is good news!

  • Thanks Sunk, the more advice I get the more im convinced it's the right decision. Still feel sick with worry though xx
  • RedFraggle, I was and still am exactly the same. The more I read on these forums the less panicky I am and the stronger I feel. Reading these posts just confirmed for me what I had decided to do was right for us, now it's done and I'm really glad. My last stage is the OR interview, but really after it's all done our lives will change immensly for the better. We have actually had money instead of just bills and have even afforded to buy little treats for the kids since, simple things like sweets, pizzas etc, but they make a HUGE difference when you haven't had them before, or for a long time, or if you did have a take-away you were constantly worried for a week afterwards about the bill money you just spent on it....

    Keep chanting this: It DOES get better... I AM doing the right thing.

    Cheesy but it helps lol.
