    Had a mini meltdown at work. I was fine until a friend asked me if I was alright, and then my eyes started watering and I was a goner :cry::cry:

    So, Merry not quite so Merry today but pulling herslf up by her bra straps! :o

    Hi Merry.

    Hope you are feeling better Honey. Get a cuppa & sit outside or go for a walk. Easier said than done I know...you have come so far already!

    Must be something in the air today...Im having a `down` day also. Had my weepy session a 3.58am this morning when I just woke for no reason & that was it!!! cried for hours...still not good! I try & be cheery but I worry about making the wrong decision & making things worse!

    So get them bra straps pulled & realise that there will be bad days & just accept them as just that.

    Angiex (I should be working but motivation has deserted me today!!)

    That's coz there's no cheque book in there :p;)

    Keep pulling those bra straps merry :confused: .. you've done really well to get to this stage :T :T

    Keep the southern revolution going ;) :j :beer:

    The boobage (@y@) is right up under my chin, so those straps are pulled taut!!! :eek:

    Have just submitted my forms and waiting to receive it by email. All I need to do is get it printed. Whoops, my hard drive is with a frend for fixing so I can't print at the moment - d'oh!!!! :o Will get H to print it off or something.

    And you're right - no cheque book or anything does make that account seem a bit 'light' :rolleyes:

    Does not matter how strong we are, there are days when it all gets on top. I found (still do even) that if anybody is nice or shows sympathy it seems to open the old flood gates and it's hell of a job to close the [EMAIL="b@ggers"]b@ggers[/EMAIL] again.

    Glad you are feelng better, it's good that you have someone that you can open up to.

    SS you ok girl, i know things are getting to you as well.

    Not sure about LADY MERRY more like UNMERRY WIDOWS:rotfl: :rotfl: at the minute.DX

    Hi Merry,

    I've never posted on your Thread because there's never really been anything I can add to what has already been said, and you've always seemed to be on top of things anyway.

    All I can say though, is that the route from acknowledging that bankruptcy is inevitable, to booking the Court appointment and going before the judge, to the meeting with the O.R is a long and arduous one.

    There are lots of ups and downs, and it sometimes seems to take a long time before you can see any tangible benefits, but there will come a time when you realise that the pain and sacrifice was worth it, and that you made the right decision.

    Best regards

    Richard

    Much appreciated Richard. I have spent the afternoon with two of my DDs and am feeling much much better about all of it. If it wasn't the right move, I wouldn't have made it, so I just need to hold strong and follow through.
