Afternoon everyone.

I don't normally post much on a monday due to workload, but I have just noticed that the anniversary of my first post was yesterday, so I am now officially into my second year. Where does the time go? And for those of you who have been here even longer than I have, hasn't the forum grown massively in that time don't you think?

Would be interesting to see what others think.

Regards.

Congratulations Size5, and doesn't the time fly when you are having fun!

I've only been on since March this year, but I agree that it has grown. It's very quiet at the moment though - the calm before the Christmas storm?

Probably be inundated after the first bills hit the mat next year.

Congratulations Size5!

I've been on the forum since October 2006 and I can't believe how much it's grown in that time. I do wish I'd found it before I signed my IVA proposal, but you live and learn!

I am only a newcomer but I did read the forum for a long time before I joined. It is informative and I actually enjoy being on it.

It provides a very good service and something the founders are entitled to be proud of.

Two years for you then Skip! I wished I had found this site a couple of years ago as well, I could have been two years into an IVA rather than having been DMP for 18 months and just coming up to 8 months in my IVA!

Possibly Kallis, re the calm before the storm, it is estimated that the real effects of what has happened over the last year, credit crunch wise, may not be fully felt until around March of next year, and I am sure there will be a few more developments as well in that intervening period so I do think it may well be a case of watch this space.

Happy anniversary Size5![:o)]

I've only been here since February but it's definitely getting busier and more popular. I'm glad I'm a part of it. X

congrats size5!
It's grown a great deal in the last year, which is a good thing in that so many more people have been helped along the way.
I didn't find it till the night I got approved and was still trying to work out if i'd done the right thing! Both the technical and emotional support and advise are invaluable.
Long may it continue.

congratulations size 5 i too have only been a member since the summer of this year and have to say that it is certainly informative as well brings a smile to my face at times. I can't believe the amount of people that this site has but that is a sign of the times and i think it will definately grow over the coming months sad to say but at least we can help those that are unfortunate to find themselves worrying themselves sick about the possibility of entering into an IVA or going bankrupt, there is life after and during both of these and the support offered on here is second to non.

Good luck to you all 16 down, 44 to go.
Om shanti, namesté, good luck to all who are embarking on the IVA journey, it isn't always an easy one but the outcome is the best.

IVA COMPLETED August 2012, received Completion certificate 18.4.13.

Happy Anniversary Size 5 [:)] - I've been posting since Feb this year and can't believe how the time has gone. Like others I wish I'd found it before signing into an IVA, but its never too late to get advice.

I'm also glad of the social side of the forum, the support it gives everyone is amazing.

Due to work and study,I'm finding it increasingly difficult to post like I used to, but I do look in as often as I can. I feel as if its my duty to give a bit back [:)]

Hope the forum grows and grows xx

Hi - I don't post too often, but read the forum most days as it's a lifeline for me whereby I know that I am not alone and going through this journey in life. I have very few people to talk with or share this 'experience' with at the moment.

Have been on the forum roughly 18 months - I will be into my 5th year in January, the advice that is offered is first class and spot on.

Regards,

You are at the right place for support as you go along cul8tr, and it is great news you don't have that far to go on your journey till you reach the end.
