    Hi All

    I can’t believe it’s nearly a year since BR. I was initiallytold by the OR that I would get an IPA but I have heard nothing. I also receiveda small pay rise but this is hardly noticeable since I have had to have gas andelectricity metres fitted (a requirement by my utilities company since goingbankrupt).

    Question: Do I need to contact the OR re the IPA or sit backand wait. I am counting down the weeks and will celebrate once it’s over.

    I have friends who have been recommending I get a creditcard to rebuild my credit after discharge but I am not the slightest bitinterested as anything I want in future will be saved for. Does anyone elsefeel this way or is it just me?? I also have no interest right now of evenseeing my credit file and because of this friends think I’m crazy. I just likethe feeling of spending what I’ve earned and not anyone else’s. Even though Istill can’t really afford to buy much, go on holiday or have much entertainmentthe feeling of peace is a thing that carries no price. Good luck to all and let’skeep each other updated x

    Hi Suggi, It is going quick :beer:
