    Sorry haven't checked in for a while, I've been made redundant so its been a bit stressful. But I've found a job and have been able to maintain my debt payments and think I'll be able to meet the £6.5 challenge as I can now use some of my redundancy money.

    I won't be totally debt free by Christmas as I still have to pay another 2 years on a car loan, but it's great to see it get less and less each month.
