Right - I have listed my not so worldly goods on Amazon, and despite now turning the house upside down i can't see anything else to sell!
I know I can cash in my tax disk and am aiming to get perhaps £65 for my old car as spares or repairs so that will take me to about £100. No local mystery shops going. Help me be creative quickly! Need a car or no work!

How I can raise a couple of hundred more?

Lawn cutting, gardening, ironing, car boot? Do you have any plants in the garden that you can take cuttings from to sell?

Hi Check the scrap places, near me (Scotland) they will pay £100 for a car. The adverts are usually in the local papers.

carboot in hand (just checking to see if they my local is still open), we have an influx of ironers lol and the only cuttings in our garden are weeds which is a !!!!!! because they are fab for selling on otherwise - thanks!

Is it wrong to auction your hubby as a sex slave for the weekend on ebay?

Thank you! A friend of mine is getting me a number of one near her who might take the car either as spares/repairs or scrap by weight.

Hubby off to pick up the car now - now the garage said that although he failed it the current mot certificate is valid unti the end of october he thinks (was going to check) - in which case it is ok to drive (not dangerous) for local work, just wont have my little man in it, which will buy me some time. Heres hoping eh!

Probably not, but would you get anything for him?

I hope you manage to get the money raised, cars can be such a nightmare I know.

Come on - one of you lovelies must want a slave (house slave even) for a few quid? Fully toilet trained and will obey on command?

Nicki sorry to put a downer on things but as MOTs are computer logged these days once its failed thats it, if the police pull you over they can take the car or fine you so i really wouldn't recommend driving it sorry hun but i deal with fleets of vehicles for a living and if one of my cars fails it can't be driven until its fixed or in your case scrapped.

I wonder why the mechanic said that then? !!!!!!!!! Oh well - scrapped it is.

Try your local paper for a replacement, ours always has loads of cheap runners, even if it lasts you a few months its better than nowt
