Hi, Justine from gingerbread here. Its good to see the support and advice being offered here. Don’t forget that Gingerbread has a helpline that is open Monday to Fridays. It can get pretty busy as I’m sure you can imagine, but the longest waiting time is about 20 minutes. (probably best have a cup of tea whilst waiting). The team of advisers are knowledgeable and experienced so why not give them a try.
