Finally ready for court - going Monday

Well, after what seems like an age getting ready for it, I am finally at the point that I feel ready to go to court to get myself declared bankrupt. I called the court to book it, and I just have to turn up at 10am any weekday, so I am going on Monday.
Strangely, I don't really feel anything at the moment - I want to get it done and over with tbh, but know Monday is the most sensible day for me as I will have been paid, be able to get my salary out, and then be organised - I think it would be too rushed to get to the bank Friday morning then go straight there, and I want to be feeling relatively composed.
I still have no work. I am going to start temping asap, but want this out of the way, and new bank details ready to give to the agency rather than faffing about. Longer term, I will be working 2 days a week for my church from the start of August, and looking for something else for 2 or 3 days a week. Hopefully my friend who I worked for the other week will have me back in Sept/Oct when his temp goes back to uni - he was very impressed with my work;)
So, any last minute tips?

Good luck for Monday rufus.

Not much in the way of tips, as court is usually easy (in hindsight).
You just need the forms and fees and the money for a pint or two on the way home.:)Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Oh yes! Only one of my friends knows I am doing this (well, only one nearby) and even she doesn't know when I am doing it. I am planning on calling her Monday to meet me for a drink!:beer:0 -
