I'm going travelling in 2 and a half weeks for 5 months and im not sure im going to have enough money to be able to do everything i want to do while im away.

All I need is £2000 to help fund my trip, and im sure ill be able to pay it all back in a matter of a few months when im home.

I'm not sure what I should get that will be the best value for money. Any ideas?

    Would you lend £2,000 to somone who will !!!!!! off for 5 months, with a chance of them doing a runner and havn't no income?

    Try Bank of Mom and dad, not much chance of getting a loan.

    Have you considered working while away?

    So how are you planning on repaying the loan whilst you are away?

    You didn't think of organising your finances before you went away then?
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    You'll find in most foreign countries that money actually grows on trees so simply pluck a few notes as you go along.

    Dear God, please make it stop.

    No more weddings, no more holidays, no more Seats with or without technology packs, no more mortgage deposit loans, no more consolidation loans to consolidate 5 other consolidation loans. Please.

    Have you got a pension you can cash in early?
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

    You need a troll loan. You can borrow what you like, and pay it back only if you want to.

    You can only qualify for it if you have a maximum of 1 post though.
