    If you post your SOA (Statement of affairs - see tops threads) we can find ways of helping you out.

    You also need to post APRs and min payments on cards pls and any APR on your overdraft.

    We're all here to help!

    Don't worry and congrats on the bump!

    Congratulations on the engagement and pregnancy. The only advice I can give you is don't panic. With a little bit of help from the experts on here, you'll find a way.

    Congratulations on the pregnancy! Are you working at the moment - will you be entitled to maternity pay? Is your partner able to pay all the household stuff if you are not earning, or will that be an issue? Is he able to help with the credit card bills at all?

    The above thread will illustrate how you can record you statement of affairs (SOA) and post it so that the more experience member can make suggestions.
