Morning all, fortnightly update.I'm over the worst completely now, I've been making small adjustments here and there which are allowing me to take full control, a little aloof at times, contactable sometimes,other times not. Riddlesome ? but of course. I am fast becoming an expert in budgeting, a rather well known food outlet has opened on site, and i'm not ashamed to say, at closing time, there i stand with an empty rucksack, and a freezer to fill at home, nicely done, no theft just lovely gorgeous anticipation at what is being thrown out, job done.Hasten to say i am eating well. Going without is the new having everything, delaying gratification, a la mode. Yes i do struggle sometimes with the IVA, it stares at me and growls every time i go near the filing, though it's fed every month so keeps it quiet for most of the time, and i find myself in the situation that if it behaves itself, knows it's place, then it might get a little extra treat if i continue to budget effectively, purely at my discretion understand. So the news is, i am running on all engines, i feel fantastic,there is more good on the horizon than there has ever been,i do not fear the future.I do not need stuff, fluff and fizz, i want for nothing other than good health, my friends, to feel safe and secure in my new home,to find my confidence to pick up my studies again, without the filing cabinet growler holding me back, and i look forward to 2012 enormously. Life is harsh in an IVA seriously, but it's rehab, and that is the main purpose i feel anyway, he he he, yet another fat rambling from me, best of wishes to all my fellow IVA'ers
