It’s June of 2018, my bankruptcy has recently ended. I have a letter in my hand declaring that I am released from bankruptcy and it gives me a feeling of relief and also indicates to me how time flies past when you’re busy. I have had no more contact from any of the companies […]
The house was cold and dark and the key was unfamiliar to my touch as it slid into the lock. A new build house of about 15 years old, it had one of these new multi lever security doors that require not only the key to be turned, but also the handle to be […]
As far as new changes, challenges and new problems arising through month 5 of my bankruptcy, nothing has really happened. The vehicle company took the car last month and I have heard nothing since. Being car-less in 2017, and for the first time in almost 30 years is a challenge. Never again will I moan […]
The monthly update on the start of the Fifth month of bankruptcy. Very little to report really. I had a few more computer generated letters earlier in the month of October from the car finance people, but they were passed straight onto the Insolvency Agency to deal with. Another company has bought a debt from […]
It is windy outside. It is howling around the bedroom window of the 15th Century building that my friends are allowing me to stay in with them while my life starts to slowly settle itself into a new single, bankrupt and as yet, unemployed life. The wind is making its way through the gaps in […]
Usually I start writing my blog with the subject idea, a basic plot and a point to it all. I then find a way to pull out a heading for the finished work by looking back in at what I have written. I’m breaking the mould. A title popped into head last week and I’ve […]
PART 2. The Christmas and New Year flashed by and I can only remember snap shots of it, assisted only by the memory on my iPhone which recorded the odd photograph and text over those days. I remember one particular night spent with my cousins where I literally just didn’t speak. I had been trying […]
I thought seriously about killing myself. There, I have said it. It’s not something I ever thought I would hear myself say or indeed admit to, but I have now. It’s out there, done, it has now been said. I have had a dark couple of years, but I’m still here. I’m in a […]
Well it has flown by. It only seems like days since I made the decision to declare myself bankrupt. It only seems like days since I signed the dotted line. It has been give or take – 60 days – two months, and I have 10 more months left of being ‘a bankrupt’. There is […]
There is a man in my home town, (I say ‘home town’ but increasingly I am beginning to believe that my time there is counting down to another move away from bitter memories and toward a fresh start) that collects spiders and moths in jars from around the town centre. A tall, dark, chiselled jawed […]
The ramblings of a bankrupt.
