    Been a bit out of touch lately but i was thinking earlier that it was today for R. She did mention they were going out for a meal after,so no doubt they are enjoying their first taste of freedom,along with a taste of real food.Hope it all went well RR;) .DX

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the lovely comments first and foremost - we're both really touched!

    He was declared BR at 15:53 this afternoon. Loads of waiting for a scrappy bit of paper, but there we go :rolleyes:

    OR will be in touch in a couple of days apparently, so fingers crossed that went well.

    Thanks to everyone who has listened to me babble and stress - huge hugs to you all!

    @ YM - what a kicker!!! He got two copies of his order.

    I can't quite believe it's done tbh - all that waiting and now all the debt is just written off!!!:j

    He was number 740 at Brum county court - and we're not even at the end of march!!
