debt reduction doing well but.....

I havent posted here for a while - time is really flying!!!

When I first posted here my debt was high (well in my opinion anyway)

I have got this down to less than 1k although I have recently bought a car but i am not counting this as my pointless debt was at 15k and i have nothing to show for it.

So really pleased to have come so far :)

The problem is that i am being made redundant so I am really worried that my debt might shoot up which is the last thing i want. My debt free date is sept 2009 and i am working hard towards this and i feel really worried now about this redundancy hanging over me.

Looks like i might be a regular here again :o
March 2006 £15,200+ in debt April £843.64 in debt - Debt Free date Sept 2009
Egg Credit Card - £843.64 5.7%
