A Massive thank you.

Judging by my post count you can see I generally keep myself to myself on here for the last 14 months or so.

Anyway a MASSIVE thank you to all on this board that have helped me through mine and my wifes BR.:beer::beer:.

Without you lot, I would never have got through it. I have read these pages nearly everyday and they always lifted my spirits. Automatic Discharge was last friday:T

How quick can a year go? Sept got to the top of the IVF waiting list in area, decided to go BR last Dec when my wife was 3 months pregnant naturally:T and was getting made redundant. Wife stopped work in Dec, BR in Feb, Moved to rented April 1st. 1st daughter born May 19th, may/june/july where wrote off by being a zombie. start of august NR went for repossession! Whoo hooo. Sept, 1st plus went to court to take possession (To late Ha Ha) Oct the house went. Crimbo in cash! after 15 years on credit cards. Missed last fridays discharge change as we were having a early 8 week baby scan so the wife is pregnant again after 9 years of trying for no children. Its been the best year ever.

As for anybody out there struggling or upset with it all, take solice in the fact there are any who have been there and come through the otherside, I know I did.

Thank you all people I will be hanging around for good on here, because at the end of the day we are all in this together

    Cheers guys, as I say its for people to know there is another side, a light at the end of peoples massive black tunnels.

    As for Cash Waster........ I think this title needs to go now, I have never had to save and budget so hard. Just my IPA to get rid of now and then onwards and upwards

  • How long did it take for them to set up the IPA, and do they collect it via a direct debit
    Thanks

    Thanks

    Mine was BR mid feb, IPA forms signed and agreed early march, then 1st payment end of march. Its not direct debit, its standing orders or cheque with Moonbeever (Quite how they think as a BR you have a cheque book I'm not quite sure!!)
