I suppose i should laugh at this. I've always been contrary, or been told i am. Is this people's perception of me? Whatever. What did my mum, always say, you're so sharp, you'll cut yourself
Maybe most people have always said to me, why can't you just? Because for
I'm me

An hilarious fim, with very dark undertones. a lesson to be learned.
A good film indeed.....that we either live forever & be alone, isolated & trusting no-one (not quite a `safe place to be` ) or to live an enriched life full of reward & the enjoyment of those around us as Bruce Willis did in that film.
I`d take the latter option every time.0 -
I wonder if we were there about the same time? I was around that age, mid 70ish for me too.
Now you've got me working out how old i was in the mid 70's. That takes some brainpower. So shall i spill the beans? hahaDebt free - Is it a state of mind? a state of the Universe? or a state of the bank account?

Cor blimey, its a bit busy around here. I decided to read my diary backwards, like any self respecting person would, of course, and maybe you all know a bit more about me, now. Then again, maybe not.Debt free - Is it a state of mind? a state of the Universe? or a state of the bank account?

Good...we are getting there slowly LOL:D
You seem more relaxed...hope work is going well too. If not I hope you are getting out on some walks. Early spring is such a lovely time of year.0 -
Great to see you posting again NoHope
:T:)
You seem very well travelled and I look forward to hearing of more places from your viewpoint.
My hi-lights
- Australia - the Great Ocean Road and Adelaide.
- Europe - Barcelona (Loved all the wacky Gaudi stuff), Rome
- England - Portland Bill or anywhere along the South Coast from Brighton to Weymouth! Love ambling around London too.
- Scotland - Glasgow (fab museums and mainly free)

Oh no, i never got to do the Great Ocean Road, but would like to. I backpacked for 4 months. Started in Sydney, went up to Darwin, and then worked my way back round the coast from Darwin to Brisbane, the Whitsundays, barrier reef and all that. Then flew to Melbourne, and worked my way back up to Sydney. So i've not visited Ayres rock either, and i'd like to do the west coast. But what are the chances of me carrying a 70 litre rucksack again? lol let alone, having the funds to finish my trip to Oz and NewZealand? Fairly remote. The odds are stacked against it. Thinking about it, the Whitsundays was the most chilled and happiest time of my life.
Glasgow is well worth a visit now, after the regeneration, as are most cities, i guess. I've visited the Falkirk wheel, too, the opposite end of the spectrum, from the Anderton boat lift at Northwich.
My heart belongs to the east coast of england, coastal scenery wise, in this country. You can't beat Flamborough Head, and the bird sanctuaries,too.
Hmm, maybe i'm too much of a free spiritDebt free - Is it a state of mind? a state of the Universe? or a state of the bank account?

Relaxed? me? Don't know about that one...........
I do envy you ssa. I miss the area and the walking, and i feel unfit, now i can no longer continue my obssessional walking period. It just is'nt the same walking round an urban area, however much you try and imagine the hills.Debt free - Is it a state of mind? a state of the Universe? or a state of the bank account?

Aaahh, its quiet now.
I've got to start pulling myself together, have'nt i? Start being more organised. Something i don't like being. A free spirit, much more my style. Oh yes. But the last two weeks have been hellish. I've got to start having some goals, some targets. Theres lots needs sorting, and i'm being too lazy, too wrapped up in whats happened. I've no energy, no motivation, no anything. Still just a walking shell. The only thing that makes me feel human still, is going out to work, and pretending i'm a human being, because its something i'm good at? And i get to communicate with people?
So, my fiirst target, and my new leaf. Who called my diary life after bankruptcy? I did. What bloody life? Its about to end soon. I'll soon be an ex bankrupt. Its just round the corner, imminent now. Its not something i'd given a great deal of thought, bankruptcy. Yes, obviously, i went and did the deed, and i've had all the associated problems with being a second class citizen. Not being able to rent a home, get insurances, bank accounts, and all the rest. All the basic things you need to exist in life? But it was well overshadowed with losing my home. How on earth did i get through that period? God only, knows. And the fact of the matter is i could lose this ' home ' at any time, because this is'nt mine. No, don't think about that too much, until you have to. No point. It will happen at some stage. Leave it at that.
I have'nt been couting down to my ad. The first i thought about it was at xmas, when i received the ipoq.Then i've largely forgotten about it again. Until yesterday, when i thought, whats the date today? blimey. So shall i stay up like some seem to do, and watch my status change to discharged. I can't even muster the motivation to do that. Don't know, maybe i will. Not working the next day. Got the day off and going to hospital. See how the mood takes me. When did i ever like to plan anything. Thats why i go backpacking. No plans. Just go where the mood takes you, whenever it takes you.
But i've got to go against the grain, and start planning some way out of this financial mess, i still find myself in. Or the lack of cashflow, or spasmodic rate of cashflow. Its imperative i make a list of things i have to do, and DO them. Ugh, thats just not me. Come on, you've got to get motivated, you can't carry on like this. You've got to have a starting point somewhere, and this bloody diary is called life after bankruptcy. Its * to discharge, and you've got to have a starting point somewhere. You're going to be an ex bankrupt very soon. For christs sake, move on. Life after bankruptcy
