Hi all I know this is personal but it's worth a try. How do you all cope financially? My husband works full time and so do I but having been off sick for the last six months ( with half pay) we have fallen behind on bills and I just don't know what to do. I budget as best I can but its hard. Many thanks xxxx

There are utility trust funds that can help people in need with debts, Charis grants. Or simply phone up your debtors and explain your situation, some credit companies put a hold on interest and reduce payments for a short time. Or if you don't feel you can do this yourself ask for help, go to your local citizens advice bureau or in my town we have a disabilty centre who have people there who are trained to help people who need advice and guidance. The one thing not to do is leave it, I know it's embarrassing but ask for help, there are so many agencies out there who can help X.
