    Are your in-laws aware of your financial situation?

    A spouse's parents are very important to keep on your side.

    I forgot to mention phone. I'd put down £60 for phone and that would include landline and mobile but just list it down as phone.

    Gtanny I notice you have a joint account, get your name removed from this or it will closed down. If you want a new account for yourself then get your selfa Co-op cashminder (the account of choice for alot of us.) or a Barclays Cash account, these are bothBR friendly account.

    ive just spoke to national debt line and they explained a few things i was unsure of and explained about that if i want to get the mortgage & secured loan as part of the BR is to stop paying but get into rented accomadation before we go though with the BR due to the credit search that landlords do these days, her other suggestion was to get the rented house in my partners name.

    this isnt as scary as i first thought and i know we are going to be so much better off and less stressed then we are currently

    my only concern now is that we get married in less then 8 weeks so i need to make sure it doesnt clash with the wedding!

    also need to change the wedding gifts as we were asking for holiday vouchers... still might get them just a delayed honeymoon in a year or so (currently got it booked for october so i dont think thats going to happen now :()
