    Ok so I’ve not been added to the list and got my official number yet, but I hope I’m ok to start posting as I need to make a start and I’m hoping this will help, officially I’ll be debt free in 5yrs 6 months but need this to be much quicker for my own sanity!!

This is mainly due to car problems, so my aim is to get debt free and save for a new (ish) car which
    Debt free challenge £0/£15500. :(

    Hoping to turn my frown upside down, and make the payments out weigh my debt!
