Finally!!!!

6 years ago today was the day I felt like I'd failed! I've come a long way since then, and times have been very tight indeed, but I'm happy to say, it's got better, and was the best thing I could have done in my situation. To anyone going through this now, have faith, thing will get better.

Now - time to raise a glass and celebrate!!!!!:D:D:D:D

    Congrats Poodle - mine ended on August 10th 2015 so very recently like yours. It's such a relief and was definitely the best thing I could have done in my situation.

    Hi, thanks for this post. I'm one week into my BR and today I am not in a good place mentally. I'm a bag of nerves and feeling very depressed and anxious. Dreading our OR interview on Monday. Thank you for sharing your positive story. I needed it x
