My husband is going on a skiing trip with a mate even though he’s £5k in debt – The Sun

DEAR DEIDRE: DESPITE him being £5k in debt my husband has booked to go on a skiing trip for a week with a mate.

I’m 31, he’s 35 and we’ve a little boy aged three. My husband has never been good with money so his credit rating is rubbish and we can’t get a mortgage.

Last year was difficult financially as I couldn’t do my part-time job for three months while my mum was ill, but my husband still spent on his credit cards as if nothing was wrong.

I’ve been trying to help him pay off his debts so I’m shocked about the holiday. His mate is paying for his flights and the chalet but he’ll still have to pay for all the other expenses.

What is he thinking? Why should I be cutting back for his sake? I am so angry.

DEIDRE SAYS: Insist he tells his friend it’s a generous offer but he has to pay off his debts.

Write down both your incomes and expenditure, and go over with him how he can clear the money owed.

My e-leaflet on Dealing With Debt can help.
