30 April - Well, if there was a happy bunny smilie, it would be bouncing all over this post.

Got another call from the OR this morning, to confirm an address. Then he told me a letter went out to me on Friday with details of my IPA (it must have gone out pretty soon after my conversation with the other OR that day) - the letter hasn't arrived yet, so I asked how much the IPA was for, expecting the £100. He told me it's £50pm for 36 months! £50pm - that's the lowest they could have set for any IPA & I really didn't expect to get such a low figure, so I'm incredibly happy & relieved. I was really hoping the decision would be made before I went into hospital, so at least I won't have that on my mind while I'm there now.

It's so right what people say, about sleeping better once the worst of the BR is over. You don't realise just how much your sleep/health has been affected by money problems until it no longer is. Now I can get my budget properly in order, making sure that the OR is at the top of the list of course, & really think about my future.

Isn't it just? I was dancing around my lounge like a woman possessed after the call, & I can't stop smiling. If anyone could see me now, they'd think I'd won the lottery, which I suppose I have in a way.

Oh, I didn't realise you'd got the letter though I knew you were concerned about it. Congratulations to you too.

I feel like I'm floating on air. After I went to the OR's office on my court date, I remember feeling glad the day was over with, but I said then that I wouldn't feel totally at peace until I knew where I stood with the OR. Now I feel 100 times better than I did then, as if I'm really debt free now - if I don't sit still soon, I'm going to do myself an injury. :rotfl:

I've been following your thread and I'm so pleased that you've got this result! Well done - you're really on your way up now!
I was BR 3 yrs ago and wish I'd had a site like this to support me through it. I've been reading AlanD and tigerfeet's stories too - they ring so true to me.
Good luck to everyone, 2 yrs after discharge - life just gets easier (well the money side anyway!!)

30 April (night) - I've calmed down a lot since this morning. I'm still incredibly relieved, but now I've got that mellowed-out feeling that you get after letting a particuarlarly good piece of chocolate slowly melt in your mouth with your eyes shut.
