Strange feeling your thoughts please

hi there getting to know and appreciate this great forum and its friends within.

My last three years upto BR in october.

Bare in mind I did not tell anyone of all my problems.

Each day when I look back now is just a blur. I lived each day to fight phone calls answer debt letters and work out how to make my budget stretch. Could not concentrate on familly and loved ones or ended up arguing with them as i thought they did not care. Was really sellfish under the pressure. Used to wish the days away hoping for a miracle i suppose.

After BR strange world, but it gets better every day. My wife and me are getting on much better. I play with my little grandson much more than I used to and enjoy it. My friends and Familly we get on well now. Each day I try to live to the full and am starting to enjoy life again.

You enjoy the very simple things in this new basic life. I smoked heavy for years but can not afford to now. I have two cigarettes a day and enjoy them so much in the garden when I reflect on what is happening and thinking of my brighter future.

I thought it would never end but it has now started. I have learnt a lot and come a long way.

My biggest mistake was to hide my situation and not let any oloved ones help me. Now i appreciate that.

Life is now worth living.
I am happy again.

Good luck to everyone in the new year and future.

Sorry for rambling just wanted to air some thoughts :A

sizzler, good thread. BR is a lifeline in so many ways and in so many more ways than people who have a preconceived idea about BR's or who have prejudices agianst us think. Us normal, decent folk who have relised what life is about by being 'forced' to live simply, actually relise that simple living is much more 'fruitful' life. I think it's TinyTim who posts he can get involved and spend time with his children or me who is now a stay at home mum, the feel good thread the other day about christmas and what it means to us, spending megabucks isn't what christmas is about. I'm a home maker now, I'm sitting here in my rental house with my home made garland made with iems out of the garden, little girl having a nap and fish fingers under the grill and just finished homemade curtain to keep the draught out of the front door - all glossed nice too. Simple, nice, cosy life. I will never want anything more than the feel good feeling we have now. Although I'm planning to become a midwife and when i'm qualified we'll have the money to move on and move up, i'll never forget the joy I have from making do and making nice. I am frugal all over now and that's a lovely quality. I just hope my children learn to respect money and savings, learn good credit and bad credit and never become pawn in the game of money lending

so glad for your now peacefull life..as someone once said to me (you sometimes have to go through hell to get to heaven) so if you are in your heaven now thats good an you do enjoy the simple pleasures in life as col an me now do.mainly your brain is no longer trained to worry about the debt an creditors ringing.thinking of next pay day an how to pay the bills,no wonder we havnt got the time for family an friends.i am also not beating myself up this year about "the perfect christmas" what will be will be,no expensive pressys for people around me anymore,just simple pressys given with thoughtfullness more than how expensive it is. our brains are in limbo whilst we settle down an realise we all dont have to worry about the debt anymore...so enjoy the feeling an have a good an more important peacefull christmas regards penny xx
