Hi

Blog of the week for w/e 7th July is Luluj



All I wanted was a baby…my story! http://lizj72.blogs.iva.co.uk/



Worthy of a read from start to finish, this blog shows how we can find ourselves in debt for various reasons.

A recent entry into the blog shows that Luluj is experiencing a health scare at the minute, however, with the help of her friends on and off the forum she is remaining positive. No more retail therapy as she would have done pre-IVA, remain positive Luluj and the forum sends you their best wishes.

Luluj is generously opening up her home on the 13th July for the Summer Frugal Friends get together and I’m sure if anyone wants to join us you’ll be made more than welcome. Melanie Giles is very generously sponsoring the evening and providing the food and drink.

Luluj continues to offer help and guidance both on and off the forum after the closure of her IVA to those who need it and I’m sure we all agree a valued member of iva.co.uk



Enjoy your £100 one4all shopping voucher Liz

Regards
Andam Davies

Keep smiling and enjoy the get together , the weather will be smiling on you all.

Hi

Blog of the week winner for w/e 28th July is Flossom

The past can hurt...you can run from it or learn from it

http://flossom.blogs.iva.co.uk/

A new blog by flossom is this weeks winner - a blog detailing how they existed whilst in debt and what a relief entering an IVA was for them. Please take a read of this blog and I'm sure you will agree it's not only very well written it can echo so many of our lives of how debt accumulates. This blog also shows that for those worried about low dividends IVA's are often accepted as this was.

The IVA has been a major life change for both flossom, the partner and the children but as a family they are adapting well. Selling on Ebay, change of supermarket, loss of football season tickets to name but a few changes made but one thing is certain they're on the road to debt freedom. I'm sure we'll all agree a worthy winner of £100 shop one4all voucher.

Regards
Andam Davies
