Ah, thank you so much MTL, that's really lovely.[:I] I enjoyed writing it and will keep on doing so. I've told my Dad and he thinks you're all fab too! Well done to Jan, Julie and Liz, I love all your blogs.

julie..not only were the gold silver and bronze...worthy winners...but so was the "i will survive" winner too.....YOU....!!!!!!..well done to you all....

[:I] Thanks , isn't blogging funny, you go through a time when you first start blogging, that it really is a lifeline, then you ease off....and just when you think you're all blogged out,you find yourself blogging!

Am I a blogaholic [:D]

i am exactly the same...ver prolific at the beginning but now down to only a few...but still enjoy doing it and love reading everyone elses....
when we meet we can all sit in a circle and one at a time we can say

"my name is.....and i am a blogaholic.......i have been 14 days without blogging"

I most definately agree with the selection of Viki's award (and the other ones as well!). I shared the end of Viki's journey with her, and she is one heck of a girl to get through all of that - and it is so nice to now see her working in this industry and giving something back.

Ah thanks Melanie, what a lovely thing to say. I couldn't have got where I am today without you, I will always be grateful for the support and advice you gave me, every step of the way, and of course the IVA.[:)] X

Congratulations to everyone, lets hope the good times come soon for everyone having a hard time or a daunting event.

Good luck and lots of love.

Thanks once again, really didn't expect anything this time as most of mine have been personal and nothing to do with debt!

Well done to Viki, a very brave lady, a worthy winner and my best mate!

Well done Liz and Julie too. Well deserved![:)]

Congratulations everyone!

Congratulations to all the winners!! You all thoroughly deserve your awards...and i most definitely agree with you Mtl about needing plenty of tissues for Viki's blog, as it was undoubtedly a very brave and emotionally honest account of how tough life can be at times...So well done Viki[:)]...Hope you all have fun spending your vouchers[:D]xx
