congrats Lesley!! I still have my voucher card as I'm saving for son's birthday next month in case we have no money and as car was at garage yesterday for new brakes and son is having physio, looks like that'll be the case!!!!
Although only two entries on the blog by Imhotep it's good to see the blog start with the acceptance of the IVA and hopefully this will be updated regularly to let others know of their journey. Reflecting back in the second entry Imhotep talks about trying to obtain a remortgage which was refused and the relief of having made their first payment. Be great to see regular updates from not only Imhotep but all posters.
25 pounds of shopping vouchers will be winging their way to Imhotep

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Broke of London stated on the forum to not being one of life's natural budgeters, however in her blog shows positive steps towards achieving this and being on her way to successfully learning the art of budgeting. We hope you achieve your goal of continuing to take packed lunches to work all month and reward yourself with the promised new handbag. Hope the vouchers you've won will get you a little treat too.
Thank you! It's only been a few days, but I've stuck to the sandwiches so far and am actually enjoying them. The pressure to spend money every day has been taken away too...which makes them taste even better. The vouchers will be a very welcome treat - thank you. xx
Although having a completed her IVA with a Full and Final settlement in November 2010, Luluj's life is no different at present as she is repaying a family member at the same rate as per the iva payment.
Luluj does state that people say once you have experienced life on a budget, it is very hard to go back to old ways – and I am so glad – I love my life now!
Luluj has been asked to become a mentor for the forum and looks forward to providing support and comfort to posters on their journies
Well done, your 25 pound shopping voucher will be with you shortly
Thank you very much for this - I wasn't expecting it at all ! Looking forward to continuing to support people on the forum over the coming weeks / months.
