    Freeads/Gumtree to sell anything of value. Silver/gold jewellery? Kids' toys? Any designer clothes?

    you could take some stuff in to cash generators they give you money and you can purchase it back within 4 weeks when you can afford it

    Have you thought of applying for bar jobs? I've heard (I think) of people applying in person and being given work straight away.

    If you call round all your local cleaning agencies they might have some casual work when people don't turn up, if you tell them you'd be willing to turn up just for the odd evening/morning etc.

    You could be really cheeky and pick up anything you can from freecycle or offered free in the paper and then do a car boot! You'd have to be quick though as the car boots are normally on a sunday.

    Try clubs/pubs to see if they need a glass collector or extra pair of hands behind the bar (they often pay cash ;))
