Lol. Don't take it to heart Puds. Only having a giraffe. You know how much this delisting is hurting and I'm sharing the hurt big time. I just can't bring myself to admit my whole retirement is fkd up. :(

We was all sucked in it was a great story I will say a little prey for you tonight I truly hope you get something back mate I hope we All do but we will see
Not the only retirement fcuked up, my story.
2006 I made a career change after 22 Yrs, ended up in the mid east, but prior to that I lost my son, had another little one who was born a congenital Paraplygeic, now 21, my daughter has gone through a host of trials in her life, and is a fighter despite her life now.
I wanted my kids to live the life I didn't, they have never wanted for anything from me, I have done my best and continue to do so. In 2007 I found the share market, borrowed 20k from the ex father in law ( don't go oh know, I paid him back, mind he bought my daughter a car out of it :-) really nice fella)
Since 2007 I have chased the dream of wealth or to be comfortable in the knowledge my kids would be financialy comfortable when I'm gone. I went from nothing to 1/2 Million to nothing chasing the dream, some may say greed, I think that now and again, but just want my kids to be ok. I have had good paid jobs but paid the price, worked away for years, missed them growing up, lost good mates I'm my work.
I have always made sure there is a roof over our heads, food on the table, belived and supported who needed me, and I don't think I have ever let them down. I was in EDL, lost a lot of money, GKP sold at the wrong time, BPC was another dream and moved everything from there to FRR after I saw something in someone who I thought would not let me down. In the end I make the decisions, I listen, I control my money, I make the investments , no one else. Yes I look to blame people or companies etc etc, they may have loaded the gun, but I pulled the trigger. ( Been in a host of other dog s##t shares controlled by Aim crooks, parasites who feed off weakness, nievity.
I will have to work years to get my life back, I will never earn again what I have lost, but my kids will never want for anything whilst I live ( insurance is sorted for them life wise :-) . I do hope we could could recover something, I live on Rainbow riders posative comments now and again, makes me chuckle. I have seen somethings around the world, and to be honest I eat, drink, sleep, breathe, a lot of others don't, that's how I keep going.
If we don't get anything back, Zaza, I have a set of skills :-) Lol. Not everyone is the same, all different needs, stories, but that's a skirmish over mine. Good luck all, and I hope the story has a happy ending.
PS, no need for any all the best etc, was just to show some people you are not alone.
Morning Sol and thank you for sharing the journey and sincere condolences for the loss of your Son. Been here myself since 2012. Invested c35k over the years, chasing the dream, early retirement and dreams of treating the kids. Lost my own son during this time! After the rise in 2018 my investment peaked at £50k. I stupidly gloated to the missus and shared my investment screen with her. She was of course very impressed and in November 18 she begged me to sell! I told her that it was too soon, we were going to be taken out by BP and it would be worth 5 times more! Stupidly I didn’t listen and then came home in Jan with her holding a letter stating we had delisted......I was not in the good books! So here I am like many others, still working but as well, still hanging on to that glimmer of hope.......you just never know!
Hi Philim
Thank you for the comments, and thoughts with you buddy and your family. Maybe if this reserects out of the ashes there could be a get together and a few waters and stories shared.
All the best and fingers crossed, and legs, toes erc etc, life goes on and times a healer of sorts, doesn't replace who and what has been lost.
Phillm, that made me laugh, specially the screen shot and gloating, I’m sure we won’t be the only ones, I’m nearly £60k in and got to £99k, you now the rest, wife thinks I’ve lost my marbles, funny thing is, I’m still gloating when the real good news comes from our resident researchers, reckons I’ll never learn.
