    Thank you Beanielou :D

    I haven't had the chance to speak to my boyfriend yet today but I will ask him a bit later.

    I was hoping I may have found £140 lying around on the street today but no such luck :rotfl:

    Oh well - back to the drawing board.

    I have just seen my boyfriend and listened to him going on about how he's got a really tight month money wise. I didn't bother asking him to lend me the money after that.

    I think my options now are to:
    1. Call Egg and ask them to let me pay in 1-2 weeks time.
    2. Go to Cash Convertors with some stuff which I could probably get double for on Ebay
    3. Hope and pray for a miracle!

    I'll give Egg a call tomorrow but I really don't think they will help me as I am in the middle of a payment arrangement with them (ends next month) to make sure that I pay the next 3 months payments on time (meaning that the direct debits need to come out on time!).

    :confused:

    :j My wonderful boyfriend has saved the day!! :j

    He's going to lend me the money from his savings account and I will pay him back at the end of the month.

    Problem solved :D - thank you to everyone for your helpful advice :A

    Hey Emily! Thanks great - somehow missed this last night :)
    Must be a weight off your mind eh? Do you know when you'll be getting the AQA money? Will this cover it? Hope so.

    They said I will get my AQA money by the end of the month and it will more than cover it (£400) so that's great :D

    I've got some more bits on Ebay now so hopefully I may be able to pay him back a bit quicker.

    Thanks Snaggles - my boyfriend is wonderful and very kind, he's always helping me out bless him.

    I'm up to 3 prizes this month after today. I won an Ali Baba DVD which I am going to sell and I also won a weekend break away in the Cotswolds :D - I'm really pleased about that as my boyfriend and I can't afford a holiday this year so it will be great to get away for a weekend in the summer :j .

    What a great prize, hope you enjoy it!

    How's your sister doing? Is her pregnancy going well?
