Newcomer just wanting to say hello!

Hi there

Having used this FAB site for just over a year now, I thought it was about time I started to use the forum actively.....so this morning I have set up my signature to show you my journey so far and to say "hello"! Everyone is so inspiring, it really keeps me going. I am looking forward to having a natter and being part of the DFW community!

It's hard to stay motivated at times isn't it, but this site ALWAYS brings me right back on track, so just wanted to say thanks!!!

    Welcome to the gang cherub! :beer:

    Like you, I'm new to posting, but I've been on the debt free trail for a while now.

    I am SO-O-O-O-O glad I found this place. I learn something new every day. :D

    Good luck, keep posting, and if I can help at all - I'll certainly try! :rolleyes:

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    You can make it shorter by paying off your debts.

    Hi there Bobble :wave: Welcome buddy and my sentiments exactly ("everyone is so inspiring it keeps me motivated".
    This forum community is incredible....I'm addicted. Only started posting properly about a month ago after being registered for ages and using the site information which is second to none.
    When you first start posting it can feel a little scary....but don't worry I've always found everyone on here to be really friendly and exceptionally helpful.
    I've learnt so much and if ever I have a problem I always post it here, most times even before discussing it with anyone close to me!! Often find I pick up stuff that I can pass on to OP (other people) on this forum or friends and family alike.

    Keep posting and if I can be of any help in the future I'll be more than happy and willing to lend a hand :D
