Your stories of unemployment

We've been told 600,000 people could be made redundant this year. Some predict 3 million unemployed by mid 2010. We'd like you to help us tell the human stories behind those figures. Numbers alone rarely convey the reality of the situation.

For many, this will be their first experience of redundancy. If you have been made redundant or are facing the prospect of redundancy we'd like you to share your experience with us. Either post a comment on the blog or email us at ipm-at-bbc.co.uk. If you use Twitter or Facebook you can also use them to share your story.

• If you've a Twitter account we'd like you to include #redundantuk in your post to help us find your tweet.
• If you are on Facebook, Rupert's, created this group where you can share your experiences

You can still email and we like receiving letters too. The address is iPM, Room G601, TV Centre, London. W12 7RJ.
