    #98 monthly check in. Had another really good month and am well on track for debt-free by Xmas. Just need to keep up the momentum and also make another £150 by December - not sure how but still have PPI to try claiming and a few fleabay items to sell. Never thought I would ever get there and certainly not so soon. Its been a long journey, nearly over :T
