    Good luck!! I hope your hubby greets you with a big hug... He will stew on it, but realise how much he loves you, and how hard it was to tell him!

    You have made an important step, and lots of little steps lead to where you want to be. Take it one step at a time.

    So I see Moxie, I felt so stupid thinking that only I could be daft enough to run up such a shedful of debts. I feel a whole lot better after today!

    Hi Zani and welcome :wave:

    You've taken two great steps already - joining here and telling the OH.

    I can only echo what everyone else has said - this is a great place to be with help and support at the touch of a keyboard.

    And it costs nothing!! How cool is that!
