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 […]
When I started this blog I started to follow others that had followed me. I receive e-mails from them to show me when they have posted something as I’m sure they do from me. There are a few that I really like and some that are good, actually they’re all good but a few of […]
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.

If you’ve read my previous posts, you’ll know that my bankruptcy wasn’t caused by my own financial mismanagement. I had an issue at work in which my employer thought (and was proved incorrectly) that I had broken some rules and they reported me to the Police and also my licensing authority. I’m a professional who […]
Sat in a cafe in North London yesterday, I re-read a text message I was sent the previous night from someone I love and respect dearly. The reason I had to re-read it was simply that when it came through and my eyes darted left and right over the black letters on a grey background, […]
My first month of my bankruptcy has flown by. 11 to go. I have had a lot going on in my personal life to attend to, but not withstanding that, I thought I would write down a summary of what has happened purely on the financial affairs front for anyone in the future who searches […]
Spending a few days away this weekend working in my friends pub did me both the world of good and also dragged me back a little. It did a lot more too, it let me see (and hear from) people that I love and that love me back, and that is a great healer in […]
The ramblings of a bankrupt.
