Has Bankruptcy Improved Your Sex Life?

Arh but 727, then your leccy bill would be too high for the OR to accept if you were plugged into the mains.
I hope you included your corpse in your I&E, they cost a lot to keep going, what with the extra electricity for keeping them chilled and the obituary in the paper etc etc,.The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter

I'd agree with you richard, mine has improved dramatically, it's amazing how much fun going to bed is now, it used to be a place to lie awake and plan how i was going to deal with my problems, when i say plan, I actually mean worry myself sick, lie awake till 2am and then get 3 hours sleep and wake to the same thoughts I had buzzing round my head when I dropped off to sleep.:mad:
Now I go to bed and lie awake with the missus untill I fall asleep exhausted, I then wake her at 5am and start all over again, we're both much happier and settled around each other which is fantastic, only problem is she's started walking a bit funny :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:I had debts, my circumstances changed, I tried but couldn't pay them, I dealt with them in the best way I could.........

Well, it's certainly improved my Spend Everything Xtra life.

I spent years living off virtual money - you know, the kind that comes as an overdraft or on a credit card but isn't actually seen. Once my ex decided it wasn't his thing to help sort out debt he'd helped create in the first place :mad:, the poo began to hit the fan & I then spent many many sleepless nights trying to work out how to pay the bills, or put off paying some until they couldn't be delayed any longer. I was robbing Peter to pay Paul, either leaving letters unopened or shredding/throwing them away as soon as they arrived - even without the company name on them, you get to know the addresses on the back when you see them so often.
This Christmas, I will have my £50 IPA to pay & nothing else. :j For the first time in over 20 years, I won't have to think about debts - I still pay my IPA before the due date (even though the ED incentive isn't there any more
), but once that's paid every other penny is for my home & me. I can actually save some money each month now, because I don't have to factor in charges for my overdraft, returned direct debits, etc. If I have some money left over at the end of the month just before payday, I save half & spend half. Only those who've been there know how good it feels to now have a choice about where my money goes. 
I'm going to treat myself to a nice present this year that I can actually afford from hard cash. So yes, my Spend Everything Xtra life has improved no end. I've finally learned what is meant by B.O.N.E.R. - Budget Or Never Ever Recover.:rotfl:BSC #53 - "Never mistake activity for achievement."

:rotfl: Hilarious!!! I LOVE this thread!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Yes, sex life is much better thanks, no longer stay awake worrying about things like bills etc...instead go to bed and make the most of my new found energy....only problem is, hubby has difficulty keeping up with me now!! Any takers!!
Must say though, before going BR, i could have said that the stress and worry did me some favours as i lost 6 stone in 18 months!!! Still haven't put it on but am now a very healthy and happy size 8-10 so i guess that helped in some ways!! Ha ha, just had a thought, maybe i should spend the next couple of years saving up to get new boobs seeing that mine have shrunk dramatically!!!!
TMI?? Probably but am glad to see you all have a better sex life!! Enjoy! :beer: :j0 -
Just a quick thought do you think sexual therapists are aware that OR can do their job
I mean take away the stress and whopeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:j :j :j Could save NHS thousands:T :rotfl: Some of the best lessons we ever learn,we learn from our mistakes and failures.the error of the past is the success and wisdom of the future.:wave: :beer::j0
