Court Report! I am now a number!

Well!
Thats it all over and done with. Just got to wait for the letter from the OR's office to say whether or not I'll be having a phone interview or a F2F!
My feelings about the day?? THe only word I can come up with is Surreal!
It was so strange, I got to the court buildings about 9.30, wasnt sure which entrance to use, did a 3 point turn in the police station car park, all the time talking to myself, then went round the corner and parked in the staff carpark i think! Not the best sign posted place, walked round the building, still no sign of the court, asked in HMRC, who pointed me in the right direction. Yay
Off round the next side of the building and there was the court. Has all the aesthetic appeal of the Job Centre! Anyway I signed in, opted for taking the stairs to the 4th floor! went into the waiting room, a few people in there, mostly for what seemed like divorce cases and other stuff.
Then the court office opened. went in with the other 2 people who were going bankrupt as well, went through the forms with the clerk, handed over the money :eek: signed the forms, swore on the bible and then waited for an hour or so whilst everything was typed up. ABout 12 it was my turn for the phone, spoke to the OR office and that was it!
My order was timed at 11.27 today!
Got home about 12.30, within 10 mins of being home, John Lewis phoned and were the first to be given the news :rotfl: then I contacted Mercers on behalf of Barclaycard and told them as they had sent me a letter saying someone was coming to see me (Oh no they're not :rotfl: )
And that, as they say, was that!
