Buying a printer & printing supplies

Dear Lenders, today i made my final repayment of my loan before schedule, this loan has taken me far and i was able to attract more clients into my business from the stock i added when i took the loan,December was a good business season although at one point towards new year i sold on credit which was paid late and was a lesson to me. We are now on an election season here and campaigns are on, a lot of printing of campaign merchandises is in offering and i have already started getting its benefits. I have sold most of the printing materials i had stocked, that's why i was able to repay may loan before schedule. I have also been able to full fill some of promises i had made to my family e.g a new micro ware to my wife, a second hand (good condition) bike to my son during his 11th birthday which was on 06/05/2017. and i still hope to buy a new one to my young lovely daughter on her 5th birthday on 12/06/2017.
