Just a quick email to say that I really am excited at the prospect of getting started with my IVA and looking to the future.
I had a call with Tina last night, which was really great, and I feel even more excited at the prospect knowing I'll have the support of everyone on here to get our lives back on track.
Thank you Tina - I slept for the whole night without waking, which has been the first time for many worrying months !!

Sarah - so glad you slept well! It is so comforting being in the IVA. We have struggled the last 2 months but we know the reasons why which is a relief. Luckily OH gets a bonus this month so what we can keep from that is going in the non-existant contingency pot!
I did get stressed for a few days before the creditors meeting but afterwards I have slept very well!!!
Good luck

Life in an IVA is not all a bed of roses, but certailny better than all of the angst and stresses suffered beforehand. You have a great team behind you, Sarah, so your journey should be a smooth one (Law of Sod allowing).
On a personal note ... if I slept the whole night through without waking the bed would be very damp :0)

I look forward to working with your team too Tina.
I hope you kitten behaves a bit better for you tonight - we used to try and keep ours awake as much as we could in the day, then at night they would sleep like logs !!
