For Tori

[debtmountain]

Hi Tori,..I haven't been reading the Blogs for a while and have just been reading yours[:0]...I can relate to so much of what you've written down and just wanted to say well done on such an interesting and informative Blog,I really am very impressed with your Blog,you could be an author[:D].,can't wait for the next chapter!!..hope I haven't embarrased you with writing this?...while on the subject,would like to say well done to all the other regular bloggers too,I'm just glad that I don't have to pick out the winners of the blog awards[:D]..you are all doing a brilliant job,well done to you all....xx[:)]

[:)]Aw, thank you for that DM..and of course you haven't embarrassed me..i do enjoy writing, and as i said in my first entry, i can natter away for England[:D]..and although it's not easy admitting that you've made mistakes and haven't coped all that well, i have found that 'confessing my sins' has been very beneficial and somewhat cleansing[:D]!!..i love reading the blogs, and really do find great comfort in being able to relate to other people's experiences..they're all fab.xx

I echo completely the comments from DM...[:D] Tori you are an excellent communicator...[:D] I am following all the blogs and they are all so different in our actual circumstances but very similiar in how we feel. [8)] The best thing about blogs is that it helps everyone to understand they arent alone.I remember so well the feelings I had that I was convinced no-one else experienced so therefor I must be alone.!!

Isolation can be so destructive and hopefully newcomers to the site will pick up on the blogs and realise that they are not alone and it will help them to reach out.

As the one who does pick out the blog awards I can only say again it really is an honour to be a part of people lives...so please keep blogging...update your old ones and anyone who is thinking about starting one [:D]...GO FOR IT [:)][:)]

[:D]Thanks for that!..i did add it to my profile a few weeks ago, but couldn't get it to show up..I probably put it in the wrong place knowing me!..and mtl,i couldn't agree more with what you have said,as when i first came across this site i spent hours reading the blogs,which helped me immensely,and also made me realise that i wasn't the only person in the world who was in debt. So it's nice to be able to give something back & help others to feel that they are most definitely not alone in all of this[:)]xx

phew!!!..glad I didn't embarrass you Tori[:D]..last night I was reading your last three entries,with a mug of coffee[:p] trying to catch up and it felt like,you know when you're reading a good book and you get really into it and then have to put it down for whatever reason,..well,that's what it felt like[:D]...and some bits,I really related to as well,it almost felt like someone was writing down parts of my blog[:0][:I]...which,I will get down to doing sometime in the future hopefully!!.anyway,glad you feel better for confessing your sins[;)]..xx[:)]

MTL,...you're right about the other blogs too,all brilliant and all different circumstances but you can relate to them all because they all have that one thing in common,in that we're all going down the same route in trying to sort out our debt problems with the view to being debt free in the next few years,and knowing that we're all in this together really makes you feel that you're not alone and that you have friends who you can confide in on this journey,especially when you don't feel that you want to share this with family and friends outside!!....and well done to you too MTL for being the Blog Awards picker[:D],you do a fantastic job..xx[:)]

Why thank you...its a joy to do.....

[tori]

[:D]Thank you DM!!..i was a bit worried at first that my entries may be a bit too detailed and long winded[:I]!! but i've got a lot to get off my chest!!..and if it helps other people out there who may be in the same position that i found myself in, then that's brilliant..am looking forward to reading your blog DM..and i hope that once you get started, you find it as helpful as i have[:D]xx..

[debtmountain]

Thanks Tori[:)]..and I'm sure I will find it very helpful to get it all written down.,when I do eventually get round to doing one!!...and no, your entries aren't long winded at all!!...I expect I will feel the same when I start as you have a lot to write at first as you explain your story of how you got into debt in the first place but after that,you'll just be giving updates on how you are coping with things on your future debt free journey[:D]..xx
