    Make sure you are getting all the benefits you are entitled do. From January you would be able to get your mortgage interest paid after 3 months of signing on rather than 7. They will also pay the interest on 175k of the mortgage rather than 100k.

    Is hubby likely to return to work? Is this a temporary blip, or a longer term thing? Could you work?

    That said 100k equity could go a long way to tide you over.
