  • Dalip, you naughty minx laughing-smiley-014.gif He was, yes! Very good looking but built like the incredible hulk and that's not really my thing laughing-smiley-014.gif I kept staring at his forearms thinking: 1. how does he get shirts to fit? and 2. they look like the joints of ham you see in the butchers.

    Hi Scarlett ...glad all went OK Sweetheart...at least the interview is over with.

    One thing I would like to say is that ....for any Newbies reading this....however bad it gets (+ it does at times!!!) remember to keep that sense of humour as it can really diffuse those feelings of despair. There will be folks reading this that don`t understand that... but sometimes just being able to smile with those who know how it feels when your life is in crisis, is a real lifeline when everything else is falling apart!

    You have gone through one of the toughest journey Scarlett but have shown so many of us out there that by sharing & keeping life in persective you can survive anything!!

    ps...Why, oh why did you go & mention Indian food!!! ...would love a take away!!
  • <<Scarlett & Potless in "Good News" shocker..... hold the front page>>

    We have this morning received in the post a letter from the Housing Benefit office (I made Potless open it, I was too scared :rotfl: ) confirming that they have written off the overpayment of housing and council tax benefit and that I do NOT have to pay it back :j :D :j

    Obviously that haven't said it was their fault, but by not persuing me for the overpayment then they must have realised that it was ;)

    :D It certainly does FYP. It's such a huge relief for us...... if we'd had to pay it back it would have made life really hard. After losing the £300 per month from the mis-calculation things then became really tight.

  • Scarlett - I have read through all 27 pages of your thread and thought it was fantastic, a real insight into what happens at all stages of bankruptcy, not just the administration stages but the thoughts and feelings too. Good Luck to you both x
