Am ready to do it!

Am a newbie member of this forum but have been a lurker for some time. I have finally taken some control of my finances thanks to the inspiration of you peeps.

This is just a mere introduction to me and I hope that in months to come we can all together bring down our debts between us. I guess I just wanted to finally take the plunge to being an official member rather than a lurker!

Thank you to all for you useful advice/tips over the last 3 months, have found you all to be a rock even though you didnt know I existed. Hope I can contribute half as much as you peeps do to help others.

    Welcome, and don't mind southernscouser, he has this thing about being a nerd :D , but we still like him.
  • Like you name 'Grown up Girl' - you really are now. Like me, all my spending were from my teens & early 20's and now I am 25, I am paying for it. Luckily I have my own place and I make sure my mortgage is paid on time. I too have a CCJ. I am working 2 jobs paying it off.

    Well done. Make sure as soon as you pay them off, be carefull not to max them out again and get yourself into a pickle
