life goes on after BR

Hiya Guys

just sat at work and doing sweet F A so I was gazing out of the window thinking how different things are now to a year ago!!!

I was unemployed just coming upto half way through my bankruptcy year - miserable cos had lost house business sense and nearly my mind - and now

I am in full time work and love my job, got used to my rented house and even like it now, have a tiny amount of savings in my bank which I have not had since literally I cannot remember when. Sun is shining and feeling gooooooooooooooooooooooooood :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

so whilst gazing out of the window just wanted to share this cos when you are approaching BR or in it things can look dark - bleak and miserable BUT there is defo light at the end of the tunnel and things do start to look good again.

name is off the insolvency register too - havent started to think about cleaning up my credit files yet (discharged 9th Jan) so think I better start getting my head into that now

anyhows got to go and actually do some work - good luck to everyone out there and be happy :beer:

    Brilliant post and an inspiration to all those who are going through, or are about to go through what is a very daunting process.

    There is light at the other side :)

    that's great news, it's good to hear when things start to go well again!

    BR can be a very dark place, but things do get better :)

    well done on the weight loss too :D

    That is really good, personally i feel very positive about my BR but i have read the posts from those who are going through hell with it, and it is so good to hear such a positive outcome to what is a very difficult time. I am also very suprised about the changes we have been through so far, although if anyone tells me how the years just fly by i will tell them to try BR for slowing them down!!!

    Good luck for the future x
