Somtimes life is not so good

[Arthur Little]

I'm a Scot based in England my family is in Las Pinas Manila and life right now is absolutley desparate :(

Apparently I joined this forum some time ago but I had forgotten so this is my first post.

Software developer, own business, business died as a result of the credit crunch and recession, very sudden, main customer withdrew verbal contract with no notice, not their fault just life.

I met my partner nearly 5 years ago, we have two wonderful kids and I love my family and my extended family dearly.

I'll try and find a relevant thread to tell our story but basically we are still stuck, British Embassy is putting hurdle after hurdle in our path, not all their fault but a lot of it is unreasonable given our cirumstances :(

Regards
Jim

Ahhh, Jim ... as an "exiled Jock" domiciled south of the Border, you have good reason to feel a bit depressed. Mind you, at least you've HAD some "summery" weather, so things can't be ALL bad!

But seriously, my friend, you've clearly gone through a rough time business-wise. We're truly sorry to learn this, and would dearly like to offer guidance in whatever way we can. First though, we really need to know more about your circumstances and how they relate to the problems you're currently experiencing with the British Embassy.

So, if you'd be prepared to provide us with some backgound information as regards your story - either on THIS thread, or posted under the section entitled 'Your Blog' - then perhaps we can "set the ball rolling" ...
