Am Now BR!!!

Hi Guys
As of 10.10 this morning I am officially BR!! Will give you a quick run down for anyone about to "do the deed".
Got up at 6.45 and felt so sick, really had to calm myself down and stop myself throwing up.
Left home at 8.00am and got to the court at 8.30am. The court has a drop in system and did not open until 9.30am!!
Anyway was seen at 9.30 by the girl on the counter who was not particularly friendly. She checked my forms, I paid the money and then had to swear on the bible.
Was then sent upstairs to see the Judge (who had a hideous comb over), he was quite pleasant and told me to stop looking so worried (alright for him to say that). He did not ask me if I had taken any advice, or much else really, but did tell me that I wasn't allowed any credit etc etc (as if I want it).
Then went back downstairs to wait for my telephone call from OR. He was ok, but then informed me that that my tax bill probably wouldn't be included in the BR, which I was informed by the BR helpline that it would be!! He then told me that he would send out forms for me to sign and an appointent with another OR very soon.
So all in all it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Came home and phoned up the Co-op Bank to open a cashminder account and was accepted for this and I should receive my things in 5-7 days.
Thanks to everyone who has given me guidance and advice, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you all.
