    lyn11 - If you're unemployed and your husband is worried about his future job, don't put your any spare savings in equities. Right now you need to keep your money in cash so that if the worst happens, that money is easily accessible. Try and ensure that you have at least six months living expenses in liquid savings. Nobody should invest in equities, (unit trusts, equity ISAs etc) unless they can afford to leave them there for at least 5 years as you will almost certainly lose money in the short term.
