Merry's Bankrupt Life - OR Interview tomorrow - 07.07.08!!

Merry_Gentry

:hello:

Well has been an interesting morning, but we made it

H dropped me off outside court while he went to park the car. I set off the security alarm going in (silver bangles). Went to the reception desk to be told it was the wrong court :eek: Phew, just outside, down the road and first left!!

So sat outside waiting for H to walk down from the car park. Lots of people rushing in and out - suits, trackies, shell suits :rotfl:

Into the correct building but went to the wrong waiting room. So off down the corridor to another room chock-full of people. Still not sure we're in the right place, til H checked. Woman comes in and calls my name just after 10 a.m. Off to a little room, where we explained that H was the second name on her list, so she and her colleague did us at the same time.

I did have a little cry when signing the papers - was starting to feel so incredibly real - but pulled myself together. Stumbled over giving my oath - who knew saying Almighty could be such a difficult one - then were sent downstairs to pay our fees.

Back upstairs, logged in with the usher who explained there was only one judge so it might be a bit of a wait. Head in book, trying not to listen to general burble around. Next thing, usher comes through and calls a bunch of names out (including ours) to say we don't have to see the judge, and to go and wait downstairs again!!

We all troop downstairs, where we wait a bit longer. Names called, stamped SOA received back and told the OR would be calling either this afternoon or tomorrow!! :eek:

I feel numb, tired, upset, angry with myself - I feel like PMT on acid with all these emotions. No relief as yet - think that will depend on the OR conversation no doubut.

I definitely felt all the positive vibes, so thank you all very very much. Got first letter through from Northern Rock regarding mortgage arrears but not going to call just yet - gonna let my heart rate settle first.

Drinks are on me in the Inn later - but first I need to settle under the duvet and pick my heart up out of my shoes!! :rolleyes:

you'd think it would be the other way round....alarms to stop the newly bankrupts walking away with fixtures & fittings

Merry_Gentry

Well they did have some nice taps in the ladies room........
