Next debt debate 2nd May

[Soulgrowth]

Hi Emma ... great to see that you might be able to come on Friday ... my Friday afternoon strangely kept itself free for me to be able to come

May ... it would be lovely to see you also. If you ask Andy or Admin to let you have my email address I could give you my mobile number then you could call me if you need me or anything.

Bit unsure as to wether I needed to book a place.

If I don't hear from you I will turn up if I can and hope you have space for me[:)]

I will be staying over - and Steve is just the best very good looking and he got me at least 3 glasses of wine. A perfect gent!

Here, here on all accounts ... what a brilliant debate. When the 'banking' chaps spoke up I was itching to join in with the debate! One thing that seemed to come across from the discussions is that the 'industry' seems to be in a state of some flux at the moment.

I loved Dominic's ... and the subsequent panel's ... discussion that the banks have their own 'credit crucnch' now where they wont even lend to one another!

Melanie ... you did brilliantly and really let that ethos of being on the side of the 'person' behind the debt in your ever inspirational way shine through.

Andy, you looked very professional and handsome in your suit ... and put the IVA case forward brilliantly!

Andrew (from "Brightoak") ... great to meet you at long last, and good to that you are the antithesis of a stuffy, old grey haired man sat in some anonymous office.

Steve ... thanks for encouraging my Eddie Stobbart spotters club passion ... and allowing me to share my dream with you of being able to drive an HGV! I look forward to seeing some postings from "Mac2"?

Dominic ... hope to see you possibly in Portsmouth next week if work permits.

Ang and Emma ... lovely to see you both once again, I feel like we've known one another for a lifetime!

A brilliant experience ... when is the next one Andy?

It was a great day we really enjoyed it.The virgin train saga carried on, No reserved seats on the way home. I had a slight moan to the train manager and we went home first class drinks and food provided, carriage to ourselves. I felt like the queen and steve waved out the window at everything we went past lol. The chap was really nice and said take full advantage so I was drinking vodka, we had very up market sarnies and cake and biscuits and a great big banana each, I am not to put any of steves comments about those lol.
A really enjoyable and interesting debate great to see emma, Melanie and debbie and to meet Dominic for the first time, and of course to see Andy again. Lovely to meet Andrew Graveson as well, he is lovley.
Mach 2 will make his first post later, though it will take a while a one fingered typist.
I will blog about it all later it the week.

[Soulgrowth]

Well ... treated like royalty eh! I suppose Mach2 was practising his Duke of Edingburgh royal wave was he! [:D]

Debbie dont ask at one point he had the sticker off the knives and forks with tuck in written on it stuck on his forhead, just as well we were the only ones in the coach. It was really nice though as we were both shattered. We didnt get home until 2245 and collapsed to bed.
