Done and dusted!!!!!!!!

CG77

Well we've done it!!!!! We're both welland truly BR now!!

Everything went ok for us. The court clerk was professional and helpful. She just took us into a corner of a large office and looked through our forms, made us swear on the bible, then took us upstairs to wait for the judge's decision. After being told they we're 'extremely busy' and that we'd probably have to wait a long time, we were pleasantly surprised when the usher called us up within 15 minutes (didn't even get to finish our yucky court coffee or see the outcome of a couple's divorce I was earwigging on! ). She gave us the forms back, all stamped and sorted. We went back down to the clerk who, after another short wait, called the OR's office forus. We spoke to someone at the official receiver's office, ian first, then me, who was lovely. She asked some basic questions (date of birth, any assets we'd listed, bank account details) and asked if we had any questions. We asked a couple of questions and she cleared up a major worry I had about the advert going in the paper, which, as some of you know, has been weighing heavily on my mind for a while, so that was a HUGE relief! We were all finished by 12 and merrily tucking into our lunch at McDonalds!

Thank you so much for your messages of support, and for answering my million questions in the run-up to my BR.

Thanks once again everyone, and to all of you who haven't been to court yet, PLEASE don't worry. After all my frantic reading of this forum I actually didn't worry to much about court itself and I was right not to-it was ABSOLUTELY FINE!!!


A very relieved CG xx

Well done CG77 - I'm glad it went well for you.

Can I ask what happened about the notice in the paper?

cheers

Hi,

Thanks alot both of you! It's a weird feeling, but a good one (I think!)

Gone awol: My worry about the paper was who might see it (there are specific people who must not find out our address). Luckily for us, we found out today the notice goes into a paper far away from where these people live, so there's no need to worry after all!
