ME and Moira

Hello my name is Louise i'm fifteen years old and I am writing to tell you about what it's like to have an Independent Visitor for short IV.
My IV is called Moira and I have had Moira for two and a half years now and she is like a sister to me, because I have been to so many places such as Burnley, Colne, Nelson, Padiham and Haslingdon and I am not joking! Moira has been there for me, because what happens if you have an IV is they go where you want to go.

On my thirteenth birthday Moira took me to a status Quo concert because it is my favourite band, but before that we had to do two cheap visits. There are cheap visits and then there are expensive visits. For example an expensive visit would be going over to Burnley to the cinemas and a cheap visit would be goiong to Blackburn Ice Skating Arena.

What happens is you decide on a time for your IV to come, my time is 11a.m and you go shopping and they take you out for dinner wherever you want, McDonalds, Mannings or somewhere like that depending on what you're doing then you set off to where you're going and when you have done that then you go back home.

Honestly having an IV is the best because you can talk to them about anything. Because I talked to Moira when I was having problems at school Moira helped me to sort them out. Moira is the best because as I said earlier she took me to a Status Quo concert but this is how good she is because Moira only knows a few words to Status Quo songs and she still takes me.

We have been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach twice and Moira takes me ice-skating but she can't cope for the full two hours. After half an hour Moira has to get off because her ankles are sore and she still takes me.

I would like to use this paragraph to talk about Moira. Moira is like a best friend and a sisietr to me because if I have a problem then Moira will help me through it. She is the most nicest, funniest person I have ever met. She always finds a good deal if we go shopping. She has stuck by me and helped me in every situation I have had. She doesn't have a car so she walks everywhere or takes the bus.
