Any Ideas?? Please Help.....

Hi Guys,

I Haven't been on for a while as I have channeling all my energy into paying things off and as you can see from my signature I have been making a dent in the debts.

Basically, it has all been going fine but I have messed up this month and don't get paid until 25th. I have two bills outstanding that I completely forgot about and need to raise £116 before payday. (with nothing in the bank)

I will be getting £90 on Friday so I am only £26 short of what I need.

Has anyone got any ideas on how I can raise £26 online in the next week? Any ideas gratefully received.

Dawn.

    Anything you can sell? Vouchers will go quickly on Ebay. Have you enough stuff for a carboot this Sunday? How about anything you could take back to a shop? Anyone owe you money?

    Good luck - let us know how it goes

    I Can't do that as one of the bills is for Avon as I am a rep and I have to pay it on Friday or they won't process my order and i need them to process it so i can get the commission for next month.

    I am sure I can get £26 together somehow and will be checking whats in the penny jar when i get home, just wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to make a few quid online that will actually work, not just for this month but that i can use going forward.
