Mark it off

Christmas is getting closer, are you stressing or excited?
This year I am freaking out, I am stressing.
My expenses this year have been double what my yearly income is, after adding up all the lawyers bills it comes close to 23,000euro on top of that is the gas money to drive to court and also to get my daughter which all added up to just over 5,000, not including the pit stops for a coke or snack, which has stopped I live on bread and water now. Not to forget that even though I have had to keep paying my "regular" bills such as, water, electricity, insurance, so on and so forth, you get the idea.
Last Monday just about made me cry, I have budget everything to the cent and then a kick in the teeth bill come in and it is close to 1,000euro and it is like a lawyers bill you can not put it off as they will sue your arse.
So this month I am pushing and pushing hard to try to make the beginning of 2009 a lot easier. Between now and Christmas I am going to work my butt off to make an extra 1,000euro. I have taken on extra jobs, doing paid blogging, selling my collectables on eBay I also plan on going to markets to sell my jewellery, I am unsure if I can make it but I am willing to try and will be putting in 110% to do so.
So any ideas let me know I am sure I can turn my spare 5minutes a day into 2hours and work on new projects!

I'm sorry to hear about your situation but you seem determined to be able to resolve it which is great.

A few years ago, I had a friend in a similar situation. She was great at making crafts and started selling these at craft shows, consignment stores (these are stores that will sell them for you) and to people where she worked who also told their friends about them.
