An apology and a thank you.

Hello all,

Firstly the apology. I'm sorry that I haven't been back much since going BR in November. I did pop in from time to time but didn't have anything to add as there are so many more knowledgeable people on here.
Being on here brought up alot of pre-BR feelings that I just needed to forget for a while.
Coming on here this morning has already had me in tears! I wanted to share my good news with you all (look below at my sig) I got my early discharge letter yesterday, I was discharged on the 18th May. Hubby hasn't been yet though.
I don't think it's really sunk in yet, but I have a huge sense of loss and gain with the bankruptcy.

I wanted to say a big thank you to all you wonderful people who helped with everything from form filling to the emotions of the BR. You are all :A xxxx

THANK YOU xx
Bankrupt as of 10.10am 9th November 2009
ED on 18th May 2010 :T

    Hello Mrs S, I do love good news on here. I'm so pleased for you and do stay, often a kind word is just as valuable too.

    Best wishes

    Congrats on the ED!!!

    Know what you mean about bringing back pre-BR feelings, I get like that sometimes and step away, then remember how much help I got here and come back and try and help others.

    It is a real minefield of emotions isn't it? xx

    Hopefully getting ED will help you feel a bit better about it all x

    that's great news on the ED, must be a weight off your shoulders, hopefully your hubbie will get it soon. i went br in November too, so there's hope for me!

    no need for apologies, sometimes hanging around brings back bad memories, but stick around if you feel like it, always good to have a friendly face :)

    all the best x

    Congratulations! I can understand completely how you feel, it can be quite overwhelming at times. Me and Hubby went BR November and both got ED in May. Found myself looking at the discharge letters this morning and still not quite believing it's all over. Hope your Hubby gets his soon.
    Best wishes
