Quick cash needed to meet debts

Hello
I have just finished travelling and I'm going to sign up tomorrow at agencies looking for temp work in London. I currently have a credit card debt of £875 - limit £1200 (although it now doesn't authorise money transactions) and I have an overdraft limit of £950, of which I have about £200 left. I have a few bills due at the end of this month, which will amount to about £150, leaving me £50 to spend over the next few weeks.
As it may be a week or two before I get temp work, and another week before I receive a cheque (and another few days for that to clear), I was wondering what options there are to tide me over for the next few weeks. A small loan would be ideal, but I already have a personal loan of £1000 (half paid off now) from Natwest. Also, has the bank frozen my credit card account? I haven't missed a minimum payment. I will go in and ask tomorrow but if they have I have no way to prove I can pay as I haven't got a job yet. I also have very few possessions so can't pawn anything on ebay!
Any ideas on how to tide myself over for a few weeks?
