Another update..

Dear friends,

i apologise for not being on too much,

been fighting the good fight!

anyway,

i was driving home from work today in the rain, listening to the doom and gloom news about strikes and job losses, when i suddenly realised:

Today is my BR discharge day!
:beer:
i had forgotten all about it!

hahah

Id like to thank all the superb people that helped me through the toughest decision ive ever had to make, and through the unemployment, slight depression, and feeling of hopelessness, even though ive been more lurking than posting, this board has helped me immessurably!

Also by the help on here, i was turned onto the notion of "money as debt" and "debt slavery" and i now fully understand the "economy" (IE its completely false.. and essentially made to keep us in chains of debt and status obsession)

so guys n gals..

Discharge:

What now?


I once again throw myself on your digital mercy's..

kind regards,

    Don't ignore a problem. Unlike a bad smell, it won't eventually go away.

    Congratulations!!! Next step is to clean up your credit files - even if you don't want credit it is a good idea to clean them up as it stops any debt coming up in years to come. Leave it 4-6 weeks to give time for your credit files to be updated.
