    Phil, what I want to know is where you got my photo from?

    Thank you darling ChelseaBun:heartsmil, I know you're just trying to protect my identity. - or...thinking about it... are you trying to smokescreen the fact that you sent Phil my photo??:mad:

    How quickly it goes from; "I love you, you handsome beast:love:" to "My husband has a funny shaped head:rudolf:. - Look everyone here's a photo.":angry:;)

    Glad it went well for your, sorry about the lack of marching band or fireworks!

    Regarding glasses, go and try on several pairs and when you find the ones you want see if they have them on

    I got my glasses there for £119, they would have been £75 but I had to pay for thin lenses and paid extra for non glare/non scratch coating. At Vision Express the same frames alone were £135 plus about £150-£200 for the lenses. There service was fantastic too. There website is down for maintenance but by the time you choose some frames they'll be back up and running.

    Odd feeling today, - no lessons booked for today. ChelseaBun's gone to work to earn a crust and I'm feeling a bit lost. The last month has been totally taken up with working out budgets, whether I needed to go bankrupt, accounts, SOA's, 1 intensive driving course, 1 driving test (pass), filling in forms, and facing all the emotions involved with applying for BR. The focus for over 2 weeks was yesterday morning's Court appointment. Now?

    The phone rang just then and I got excited that I might be able to give out my newly acquired BR number. No - ChelseaBun's mum asking for a life to the dentist.:j I now have a focus for this afternoon:D.

    I think I'm going to start work on the paper trail of debt, in readyness for the OR. I've been transfering balances and consolidating for so long, there's no easy identification of the sources of debt. I think the OR is going to want all bank and cc statements for the last 5 years. Oh Dear! What a mess.:eek:

    One thing that strikes me is throughout everything you've done including bankruptcy you stayed strong and still manage the odd joke or three (and I doubt for one minute thats a real photo anyhow...or its a hell of an accident you had!)...most relationships are put to the test in BR many dont survive as mine didnt
