Will I have no chance at all of getting a credit card in time then? I fly on the 28th!

I'm going to try and persuade my parents to borrow me £200!

I will be looking around the site to help with my finances though

"To lend me":D

If your parents borrow then you will only have £300 left.

£500 is plenty of spending money. Thats £35 a day!!

Overspending at a festival by £200 is quite some going. Any fool would realise they are going massively over their budget. Especially if, as your name suggests, you are 31 years old....

Good on your family for saying no!

Croatia is relatively good value - when I went it seemed cheaper than the UK in many ways as long as I was a bit careful. I'm not sure what will have happened with the exchange rate due to today's crash with the pound though!

Buying food at supermarkets etc and not eating out for every meal saves a lot of money and you can have a picnic on the beach

I hope you have a great time!

Well i've looked at beer and food prices, a pint of beer seems to be around £2 which is quite cheap!

With everything you have mentioned, I cannot understand why you would be expecting sympathy. You are plenty old enough to know better. I would cut back on the drinking and partying- that will save you a small fortune.

It is so easy to over-spend at a festival because everything there is so over-priced.

With any luck Croatia will be better value than the festival and your money will go further, despite the recent devaluation of the GBP.

Regards how to find £300 before your departure date I wish I knew because I desperately need a new laptop and that amount would come in handy..

Well i will definitely be cutting down on the partying and festivals now, i guess it really is time to grow up! I'm fed up of having no money!
