It has been fantastic to read the February blogs and with about 12 blogs being updated regularly throughout the month choosing winners was a tough call..Every person who writes about their situation is a Hero in my book and I have awarded a one off
"HERO " award this month in addition to usual awards.

GOLD BLOG AWARD GOES TO ; luluj for her blog "All I Wanted Was a Baby."
http://lizj72.blogs.iva.co.uk/
This blog is full of the nitty gritty details involved in living in an IVA...it is also interesting to read about the rent agreement they have in the light of their credit history.Reading about the car sagas ...money saving tips and her shopping trip all add up to the highs and lows of everyday living. Congratulations and enjoy your vouchers.

I WILL SURVIVE AWARD GOES TO;Lady H for her blog "The Road To Debt and Back Again." This blog is honest and down to earth and I was drawn into the
"coal stealing "story and would happily join in the chase to catch the little horrors.!! Congratulations and enjoy your vouchers.

HERO AWARD GOES TO; Tori for her amazing blog "A Second Chance". I have followed this blog this month and just been so full of admiration for Tori...her honesty and her gift of writing are truly inspirational ..and I was particularly moved by her last entry where she says how content and proud she is....and with every right too...Congratulations and enjoy your vouchers.

Please keep blogging ...I do believe that new people on the forum read these blogs and can see that Life doesnt end with debt....it goes on ..with all its wrinkles and glitches...We are all proof that we are just ordinary people doing our best to get our lives back into the black.....For those of us who regularly post and / or blog ...these stories weave us together in both friendship and support.So...Happy Blogging

Well done and well deserved to all[:D]

I must devote some time to starting a blog as I have been meaning to since the start of my iva!!!!!!

I bet its very theraputic to put it all into a blog, and if it helps others - great!!

I do want to start one, but I am loathe to revisit the beginning of my iva as it was such an awful time.
Then I thought I would start one on the first anniversary, but I didn't get time.

Now I don't know if it will read right if I start from now. Also my spelling and grammer is awful[:I][:I]
