    There's probably better places on the site to post this, and we'd need a lot more detail to give a decent answer, but in a nutshell I'd say do everything you can to reduce your mortgage.
    Sell stuff you don't need.
    Work longer hours / extra jobs.
    Use the different areas of this site to get your bills down.
    Take in a lodger.
