Yes I could put it in my account and in 5 days it would help to pay off my overdraft.
I have a cheque for a couple of hundred quid and could do with the cash as I'm skint til next Monday. Anyone any sensible ideas as to how or if I could get the cash without giving it to the bank.
Cheers

The only way i see it is one of those cheque cashing places but they charge and they usually ring the place who issued the cheque to check it out......Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

Open another bank or savings account with it and then you will be able to withdraw the cash.0

Are you over your OD limit? If you aren't you could take out the cash (smallest amount you can get away with until Monday obviously) first from the cash machine and then go inside and pay in.
Net balance is the same. The only difference is that some of it will be 'uncleared'. I wouldn't advise it if you are in any doubt over the cheque though0 -
Is it possible to get one of my mates to put it in their account?0

No, almost always cheques have 'a/c payee only' written on them to prevent theft0
