What deal should I look for?

Bit of backgroud info, we are off on holiday in 6 weeks time, we had some money saved up for spending money but due to unforseen circumstances we have had to use our savings and are now back to zero! After our holiday it is the run up to christmas (our little boys birthday is on boxing day so that time of year is even more expensive) otherwise i would just pay any money we borrowed after the holiday however we are going to need to that money to pay for christmas/birthday presents.

Basically i need a card/loan that i dont have to start paying off till the new year (6 months) and that isnt going to go through the roof with intrest till that time. Can anyone help steer me in the right direction? Sorry I am abit new to all this so any help or advice is greatly appreciated :)

  • You want 0% on purchases for as long as possible Tesco credit card is 16 months for example, obviously a lot will depend on your credit rating as to which cards will accept you.

    Can you not raise funds another way car boot/ebay, overtime at work?
