Need money for two weeks max - is a loan appropriate?

Short version of the story is I'm stuck in a catch 22 situation. We possibly have to move, but need money for the deposit plus a handling fee for the agents. We will be using the money from the first deposit to pay the new deposit, and it should only be a week or two between paying the money to the agent and getting the money back to wherever I'm getting it from. We're pulling our hair out trying to figure out how best to get the money, be it loan, overdraft or cash from credit card, although all of these options come with varying fees. Anyone got any useful advice?
