Getting ready for BR..

...and there is so much to do!

Have opened our co-op accounts but trying to work out which account the direct debits are coming out of this month is proving an accounting nightmare!

We are going BR on 28th August which is the day after we come back from a long booked holiday so am trying to get everything ready before leaving early Sun morning. Need to finalise BR forms online for OH and the website is down!! That's all i need!

Got an unbelievably busy day tomorrow rushing around and sorting stuff out - am looking forward to 10 days of relaxing before the big trip to court!!!!!!!!!

  • Spain! And was dreading being able to relax when we first decided to go BR but i've done all my guilt and soul searching so am really looking forward to it - i'll have a few hours when i get back to tweak the forms before finalising and printing the next morning before setting off!

    Just need to remember to get OH (he comes back a few days before me) to withdraw cash every day for the fees - cos course you can't take out £1000 in one hit!

    Will be taking mini laptop with me as i have mobile broadband and also a copy of my spreadsheets so that i can make sure the transfer of DD's and income's are going smoothly! It's right on the time of the month when most things get paid in and out - but hey ho - timing's never been my strong point!

    Hi

    In the end it makes very little difference to the overall decision. I hope anyone reading this realises that BR can happen to anyone anywhere at anytime......one strike of misfortune can upturn the applecart......personally I would have been the last person that BR happened to but hey ho.....thats life I guess.

    Enjoy your holiday...a few days away will be beneficial & I suspect you have had weeks & months,if not possibly years, of worry before now.

    Enjoy ...(I know this will be constantly on your mind) but try & relax anyway.
