I'm Michelle, a relatively new member who is LOVING this forum!
I recently started working for myself (June 2012) after working in practice for 15 years. I am FMAAT, a licenced member, and director of my company Fox Accountancy Services (Manchester) Limited. Its still early days, but I am incredibly pro-active and things have been slowly coming together. A little bit feast or famine, so thank god for savings!
I've signed up to help others in any way I can, and also because its nice to have a bit of support when I second guess myself (which I often do!). Since I left work, its been weird not having my boss to "just check" things with, so I understand what its like to be unsure of the next step, and me being me, I want to help anyone in that situation! I am pretty sh*t hot with bookkeeping as I understand how the accountant needs it, and my years of experience with Sage means I know how to fudge things onto it, when it presents daft problems. Thats not to say I know it all, not by a long shot.
I use Sage 50, SAPA and Sage Tax, as well as Quickbooks, Xero and any other software a client throws at me. I also do small payroll jobs on Basic Tools.
And so thats me.. please say hello and tell me about you :)
I've been enjoying some of your posts. Great to have another active contibutor on the site.
You'll soon find yourself with the site open in a tab or on a different screen whenever you are on the PC and you will find it a real skill to be able to wrench yourself away from the site to do some payiong work, lol.
Its a good mix on here of qualified bookkeepers and accountants of all of the major bodies plus at least equal numbers of students and potential students of the same. There are a lot of non postsers who read the site and occassionally come in from the cold to introduce themselves.
Generally we're a freindly and helpful bunch so you will fit right in here.
Of me, my background is in management consultancy and business analysis in the banking sector. I'm site moderator. I joined the site early in 2010 and spent so long on here that the owners offered me the role of policing the site.
Good to have you on board and looking forwards to chatting more... Espechially if we get some more nice questions like that one from Soar that we had earlier where there were three quite correct answers. Those one's always make for the best debates.
All the best,
Shaun.

Giggle.. already I am finding it hard to wrench myself away! Its as interesting to read posts as it is to answer them! I can see there are some kings of knowledge on here, and I am already in awe.
Not far - used to be nearer though - at the old gate lodge which was demolished not long ago for an Aldi.. About the only dealings were regular letters asking to buy us out!

lol Neil, I'd forgotten all about Garth dancing to Hendrix. (still think that the Bohemian Rhapsody in the car was the best... And so true of my younger days)
As for you Tim... And you accuse us brummies of speaking in tongues.
I think the words you were looking for is.... A sphincter says what? LOL!
