Hi guys..

I'm loving it on this site. Have started to turn my life around and get back on financial track. Stressful (and skint) but feeling good.

I'm noticing in people signatures that they are DFW members WITH numbers :)

How can I join...? I wanna.. :) Anyone?

    Welcome Matt - you don't NEED a number to be a DFW, but I agree that there is a certain feeling of belonging with a number. :beer:

    Well done Matt - Moozie's challenge is one of the most popular on the board, and you will get a lot of support there. Don't forget to amend your signature.:beer:
