    Thanks CherryPerry for giving me some inspiration! And to the others too! I was rubbish this weekend and completely chickened out of telling him. I managed a couple of small details but just couldn't find the words to say it all :o

    I'm not entirely convinced that it will ease the pressure on me with him knowing but I guess that's the test of the relationship!

    Did speak to my mum about it yesterday though, she knew some bits but not all, so I am stepping in the right direction...

    Well done CP, so glad that it has worked out for you. Best of luck in your debt busting :T

    I think he'd be proud of you for paying off half the debt already , and having to work so hard to continue paying it off.
