    Thanks everyone. I've cried rivers in the last few hours but that just won't do, I've got to get a practical head on.

    I'll be back in due course x

    Oh no. Hope you and OH can work this out.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Hay ATB.


    Such positivity reading this thread... I'm so sorry this has happened to you and your husband :(. Just when things are running smoothly, life throws you a curveball. I hope you find away to sort this out ((big hugs)) xxx

    Thank you all for your lovely comments. It has been a very tough few days, I have barely slept and it shows.

    By Thursday we will have a clearer picture of how things stand. I have a plan, in typical ATB style, and promise that I will post more substantively on Thursday. Thank you so much again friends, your kindness means the world xx

    Sorry to hear life's taken a turn, ATB. I hope things settle down and sort themselves out sharpish. Take care of yourself xx
    a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library

    Sorry to hear about your rubbish news. You are allowed to be upset. Plenty of time to be practical
    Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k
