in Bankruptcy & living with it
OH and I are officially BR as of this morning.

Thanks to this forum the trip to court held no surprises - didn't stop the tummy jitters though and endless coffee drinking!

Judge was lovely - really really nice, made a couple of jokes, told us there is not the stigma there used to be and a couple of BR stories to make us feel better - said there is definitely life after BR.

Phew!

    Well done wayforward,

    Glad there were no surprises & the judge sounded nice too.

    Thats why this board is so good....being informed about how the process works makes you able to deal with the situation better & then move on from it.

    Hope you have a relaxing evening planned....cheap bottle of something maybe ?? to try & wind down.
