Just running this past you guys..
I'm unable to make ends meet month in month out, however a friend of mine is prepared to lend me £100 million, providing i pay them back in April and i stick something on the back of a fag packet by the end of October to show all will be ok by then.
Should i :-
(a) Take the money and worry about my problems later?
(b) Deal with my problems now, and learn to live within my means?

Sounds like you may have to split into different personalities, toss the options around then make an 'executive' decision, perhaps.butterfly )i(0

Back of fag packet not a good idea - get a proper contract or they'll probably try stiff you for an extra fifty quid next April.0

Sinn Fein ignorance? :rotfl:0 -
Given the size of the debt being created I would say you shouldn't enter into it because you'll be saddled with repayments for years unless you persuade your friend to cancel it in exchange for some other form of agreement in future. Maybe if you stop marching up and down outside his house waving your fleg?0

would the loan guarantee your job security until your next performance review?0
