Short term loans

I second this - it is not going to be worth any business' while to do the paperwork on a loan this small as they would make a loss.
If it is food then the OS board can help with suggestions. You would be amazed at how far a small budget can be stretched. Food banks don't always need a referral. Can you put slightly less fuel in and walk part of the way? There are ways that might help a genuinely short term issue.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Pensions, Annuities & Retirement Planning, Loans

My bank won't give me a small overdraft. I really need £15 to buy food for 2 weeks. My family and friends have been good to me in the past but I'm ashamed to ask for such a little amount. I just thought someone might know where you can get very small loans. I don't want anymore than this i just want to get enough to see me through till I get paid
Why not ask your employer?
What is the real reason why you don't want to go to your friends/family? Have you tapped them up in the past and not paid them back - hence no-one you can turn to now?
£15 is nothing and I am having a hard time believing you wouldn't just ask your parents/siblings/friends for such a small amount until you get paid, especially if they know you work as well.I'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards.

You must have something you can pawn. Jewellery, Xbox, the phone or computer you are typing this on?The instructions on the box said 'Requires Windows 7 or better'. So I installed LINUX
