Hello,

I was sorting through old letters last night and realised that it is 2 years to the week since I had the BRU/BRO meeting with the OR. That period was the worst of my life, even worse than actually declaring myself BR. I really just wanted to say thanks again to all the lovely people who helped me through that period with advice and best wishes.

My life is pretty good at the moment, I am still working, I recently moved into a studio flat and I am trying to put the whole BR thing behind me. Life with a BRU is ok. I find little things harder to do, such as I wanted to hire a car, and clearly I can't have a credit card, so even though I had the cash to do it I couldn't. Things like that are a small price to pay though for putting all the worry of debt behind me. I still feel guilty about what I did, but I have really learnt from my mistake.

So again, thank you to everyone.
