  • Hi
    Well it's another day and thanks to you all I did have a reasonably good nights sleep. I feel so posative now that I cant wait to get the ball rolling for the bankruptsy. The C.A.B. are helping me with the forms ect and I am hoping to get an appointment with Joy this week (the lady from the C.A.B. who is helping me). Today is the first day since my husband died that I feel a lot happier and it's thanks to you guys. I will of course keep you all posted on the progress.

  • Hi well it's another day and I must say that since talking to you guys I had a fairley good nights sleep (the first in a long while). This week I will be going to see Joy (from the C.A.B.) to sort out going bankrupt. I feel so positive after all your help and support. I will of course keep you posted on the progress.
    Thanks:A X X X
  • Good luck- I went BR last monday and I can't even begin to tell you the change it's having, I'm not shouting at my kids anymore, I'm eating, I can sleep, I am actually laughing again!

    I'm in a H.A house and when i notified them they said as long as I paid my rent consistantly they didn't bother with it, so I stopped my payments to my creditors and concentrated on keeping on top of essential bills (rent, gas, electric, council tax) I have nothing of material value either

    Good luck, it is one of those things that sounds scarier than the reality is.

    I am so glad that you are feeling more possitive about things. You have so many people here who will hold you hand virtually through this.
