Not at this stage, but will be handy - probably essential - if you are armed with the full facts of your financial affairs when later dealing with the Official Receiver.

Yeah I am sure that they said "it will all be done on the day" when I booked it so I am sure I will be speaking to the OR tomorrow. Probably just introductions though if I go by what others have told me.

Speaking of checking balances on line.... I have my final bit of money - £2.70 left in my Lloyds account... any suggestions what I should spend it on? I put down the full value of my overdraft on my petition. I should withdraw every available penny just so the figures are right, he he :-)

I am not a credited financial adviser and, as such, cannot recommend how you invest your £2.70, but personally, I'd buy two Lottery tickets tomorrow and all your problems may be alleviated by the plucking of six shiny balls.

Win or lose, you'll be left with 70p in change. I recommend you receive this as one 50p and one 20p. Then you can trick people in the courts when you are waiting for your judgement by telling them you have two coins in your hand that add up to 70p, but one of them isn't a 20p, and ask how this can be so. Then watch with amazement as they literally laugh like drains when you reveal that the answer to your brain-baffler is that the 'other' coin is the 20p.

Erm... what on Earth am I rabbling on about?!

'Expensive Gadgets Monthly' and 'The Hi-rolling Gambler Bugle' are also two titles that may raise a few eyebrows. Should such titles exist that is. Which they probably don't. But should.

Nice idea - I like it :rotfl:

Yeah but knowing my luck I'd win about £50K, the OR would find out and take every penny

I don't think I am going to have time to go to Lloyds tomorrow and a lot of places I know of say no "card payments" unless its over say £5 so I've been a little boring and just transfered my £2.70 into my Co-op account. Judging by the last time I did an online transfer I should be able to spend it this time next week! It took about 4 days which surprised me.

If you say have £9 something in your Co-op account does anyone know if it lets you take out a tenner?
Just curious...

Probably, just so they have a reason to give you a £20 bank charge and a smack bottom ( metaphorically speaking)
