    Default Coming back to the frugal fold...

    Hi Everyone. I was here a long time ago and then disappeared, and now I find there's a need for frugality more than ever in my life, so I'm back.

    We just had our second baby nearly 5 months ago, and my husband wants to stay at home to take care of him. We also have a little girl aged 9. We also have £10,000 of cc debt, and I'm scared that we're now going on to one income. I sat down the other day and wrote out all our debt, expenses, income, etc., and at the end of the month we don't have much left over for the debt. I need to find ways to cut out expenses so I thought I'd ask the professionals for help.

    Anyway, it's good to be back.

    Welcome back and how wonderful you have a new love. What's her first name?
    Looking forward to cheering you on as you make this one income thing work. Maybe he could work part time when your home to care for the children. This can work with a bit of sacrifice & inginuity.
