    Mrs A wins a prize for having 6!! :eek: boys :D

    I'm always more impressed by numbers of children than diplomas and degrees :D

    It is especially impressive to be able to juggle six boys AND a nursing career! The talent is endess!

    Not only are we all/have all been in debt but we've all tried wearing sensible hats and making ourselves more informed at getting out of or avoiding debt!
    Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!

    Hi
    I'm a chartered management accountant & finance manager in a housing association. I am probably more useful on housing queries than finance queries as I have been there for years & HA finance is quite specialist ( advice on completing RSR,AVR,FV5 or AES though & I'm your women, so not all that useful in the real world :confused: )

    Two teenage sons so I might be able to help in that area (they eat anything, cant help with picky eaters), new allotment holder so learning a bit there aswell.:D

    ....another happy bug.........sorry,blogger embracing the simple life
  • I am a nurse who speicializes in Cardiology. so i can offer healthy eating advice. Nothing in the are of finance but can offer fingers to type words of support ;)

    Erm...
