    I haven't written in this diary for a few days but I feel today I need to get back on track and get debt busting.

    I have joined the £15k challenge and so far have found it really motivating as a great bunch of people, so cheers to you peeps.

    I have also had an offer after some negotiation from one of my debtors. I have been offer a 60% settled and the offer is on the table for 14 days so I NEED to raise £450 in the next 14 days somehow :eek: . I reckon I could managed £200 at a push out of wages but need to find the other.

    My options are STP as its quick and easy pay out although not mega amounts but every penny helps and my other option is Ebay. So this weekend I will be going through cupboards, attics, drawers etc and finding everything I can possibly get my hands on.

    Sometimes I really wish I had the capacity to get a second job but with a toddler, a full time job and a hubby who works shifts it's just not possible :cool:

    I am sure with a bit of focus you can get that extra money together.........the challenges will really help you as they will come up with ideas you haven't otherwise thought of.

    Good luck - I am sure you will do it!

    Thanks Hypno I'm certainly going to give it a blinking good try as too good an offer to miss really.

    Definately need to keep on the boards and keep on with my diary as they alone seem to keep me on the straight and narrow.

    Pinch punch first day of the month, November already :eek: but on a positive note Xmas is not far away and I just love Xmas :xmassmile

    Going to be a heavy spend day today unfortunately I have to go shopping to get my brother in law a birthday present although hoping this will come in around £20. Then I need to go to my sister in laws and pay her back for some Xmas presents she bought for me.

    Doing really well on the Xmas present front I have about 2/3 of them already without using any of my money that I save throughout the year for Xmas. So in December when I draw out my savings I am hoping to have a chunk for an overpayment :T

    List for today

    - buy BIL present
    - pay SIL for presents
    - get to £5 and withdraw on STP
    - Daily clicks
    - Post ebay parcels
    - List 5 more items on ebay
    - Visit inlaws
    - Take Rubes for two walks
