A little irony.....

  • Thanks for the bump - I've nominated Martin too.

    On the front page, it explains that a panel of judges will shortlist 3 people from the nominations, so it's not a vote, but a nomination which is a shame. I really hope he wins!
    Love MSE, Las Vegas and chocolate!

    He's got my vote:

    On a personal level, this person and their work has made a real difference to my life going forward, i am less in debt, more in control and unafraid of the future.
    On a national level, the sheer volume of people who have been helped similarly to me is staggering. Plus the impact this may have on the economy as people regain control of their finances should be a good thing. Although, I'm no economist!
    Martin helps people from all walks of life through many different media and all with charm, good humour and a non judgemental style.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • Thanks Maz, that's great!

  • I've just noticed this too late as the nominations have now ended. Sadly, I see that Martin didn't make the shortlist. I'm sure he would have done if he had told us about the possible award in his newsletter.

    Whilst on the forum, I have been wondering recently what awards Martin has already won. Does anyone out there know?

    Personally I think he should be honoured appropriately in the Queen's honours. How could we go about making that happen? Again, does anyone know?
    :money: He'd certainly get our vote:T

    Yes sadly no shortlist for me... I'm a wee bit gutted... but shall try and avoid thoughts of conspiracy theories and just accept this wasn't my year. :)
