I am now bankrupt

I am now bankrupt as of 10.27 am this morning.
Got to court at 9.40 am, appointment was 10 am. Went into County Court and asked to take a seat, after about 15 mins, I was asked to hand my petition in. The lady went through my papers and then asked me to swear on the bible, at that point I broke down. There was a man walking around in the office who was the judge as it turns out, he was handed my paperwork and did not ask to see me.
I then waited again and was asked to speak to the OR on the phone. Every body was really nice, my br order was handed to me and at around 11.15 left. My papers say as of 10.27 I was br.
Went into town with my mother in law and it was strange. I feel completed exhausted tonight, but feel I have started the bwginning to the end.
I have spoke to all my children tonight and explained everything, youngest is 15.
I am not ashamed of going br, if anything, I feel proud of myself for taking control and putting all my affairs in order for the sake of my family.
I once again want to thank everyone and as everyone has said previous it was nothing like I imagined.
I am number 261, which is bizarre as those numbers were the first three digits of the national lottery when we did it.
