Hello everyone,

I am new to the old style board too. I think I'm quite old style in lots of ways but after reading through pages and pages of old posts I know there's much more I can learn from you guys. I wanted to say hello and thanks all for the tips I've gleaned so far. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can add some of my own.

    Thanks ancasta, sometimes I am afraid of posting in case I ask a silly question.:o
    Lucie I'm already addicted. I mean to come on for half and hour and two hours later I'm still reading threads but I'm saving money already so its not really a waste of time. :D

    Yep, it says at the top of every page "there's no such thing as a stupid question" and believe me, we've had people try to prove it wrong...

    ..and they've all failed :)


    Have fun.
    Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there. Board guides are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an inappropriate or illegal post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com. It is not part of my role to deal with reportable posts. Any views are mine and are not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.

  • Hi Lydia,
    Everyone has made me feel so welcome and I know they will with you too, but I know what you mean about posting! Well anyway we can ask daft questions together.

    See you around,

  • Hi Lydia & a very warm welcome to you :)

    it takes ages to read through the all the old posts doesn't it! I was reading them for a couple of months before I joined & still didn't read everything!

    (when I say a couple of months I did do other things as well - honest!!!)

    Have fun

    Hi Lydia, what a lovely name :hello:

    Yes, as the others have already said, Old Style is hopelessly addictive. Even just checking up every 2 minutes to see whether anybody's added to the daily chat thread :rolleyes:

    Anyway, we hope to see a lot more of you from now on:j
