    Hi Lily,

    I had a similar experience in the 1980's when I only just managed to avoid being declared personally bankrupt. Our business was in receivership and I went to one of the car auctions because all our company cars had been taken, and there they all were. I looked in the back of our Jaguar sports and one of the children's cuddly toys was on the floor.

    "All part of life's rich tapestry".:rolleyes:

    Oh no, that's heartbreaking!
    If you stuck that image in a movie, you'd be accused of overdoing the sentiment!

    As you have an IP appointed, you need to forward paperwork to them instead of the OR. If you send to the OR, they'll forward to the IP unanswered.

    Thanks, JCS1. How could I forget??! Have spent most of today trying to fill in their forms from the first draft of the figures I originally submitted to the OR.

    The worst thing was catching a glimpse of the garden peeping over the window-sill in one of the estate agents' pictures of the interior. It's a first-floor window!

    God it was almost that bad when we left - I dread to think what it looks like now :eek:

    Just been menaced by the woman in the photocopy shop, oh so slooooowly leafing through the stuff I need copying, placing it into little piles, knocking little piles over. BR papers, I+E and default notices all over the floor. Lovely! Took me right back to June, it did! But I kept my chin up and asked for a receipt!

    I must admit I do my photocopying at work and make sure no one is around to see what I'm doing and I always double check to make sure I haven't left anything behind. Same with the printer.

    Very smart, FYP. Sadly no photocopier in this office, I mean kitchen, I mean office...
