    Hi and sorry i do not know much about endowment mortgages however have you had a look at your SOA (statement of affairs) and post it up here once done as once you know whats happening with your finances we might be able to notice the places that you can cut to help you stay steady

    http://www.makesenseofcards.com/soacalc.html is the link to use, maybe once you have filled it out and we have gone through it with you you can show it to your OH and they might start to understand your situation

    good luck
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Hi oldschool

    I agree with gonzo127, you've not really provided enough information for people to give you any realistic advice.

    Do give a brief writeup as to what your situation is and how your OH is being unrealistic
