Hello and thank you

Hello

I have been a lurker on this site for about a year now, and thanks to this board and a few others, I have learnt so much and really made a difference to my life

I'm Sanaa, I'm married with a 1 year one old daughter, work full time in healthcare

Basically, we had a period of over a year where my husband was made redundant, we eventually saved up together and he now runs his own business, unfortunately in doing so we ended up running up a lot of credit card debt and took out a personal loan:mad:

But..things are starting to get more on track, the business is finally giving something back, I am back at work, and we are slowly paying off our debts:o

All this would not have been possible without all of your tips and advice which I have picked up

I also should thank the Old Style board, they're amazing:T

After the debts our next aim is to overpay the mortgage, hopefully things will work out

I just wanted to introduce myself, I have been a lurker for too long and just needed to take the plunge, always felt too shy to post before

Thank you all again
Hopefully I will post more often

Sanaa

I have also been reading the forums for some time and yesterday finally took the plunge and registered and posted.

It's really nice to see people giving the benefit of their experiences to help others.
