    Hi
    Thanks again everyone for taking the trouble to read the post-it is rather long!!
    I am firstly going to ring Capital One in the morning and see what they say. Also, going to cut down on all our "luxuries" for the next few months. OH and I just had another long chat and decided we really cant afford to do anything until we can actually see the spare money each month.
    I am also going to start looking for extra hours of work

    What about working in a school? the hrs would be shorter and you would get school holidays and as a somebody who has been a SAHM your prob just the sort of person they would be looking for, there are of course alsorts of jobs in schools, anything from cleaning to class room assistant, or how about a pre school helpper? or an old ppls home? all those places would require what you already have without the scarey dealing with the public part.

    Good luck

    Hi
    Thanks for those tips mummytofour. That is exactly how I feel- the scary dealing with the public!! It does sound crazy doesnt it- I actually loved been able to stay at home and watch my kids grow up- but not sure now if I actually would have been better with a part time job then as you do lose your confidence!!

    Hi
    Thanks for everyones help.
    I have rung Capital One today and they were quite helpful. They have set me on a payment plan which will see my balance back within its limit by the 18th May!! When I get to within my limit I will not only pay the minimum payment but will throw as much extra at the account as i can to get rid of it!!
    Thanks again everyone- I was getting really stressed out with it!!
