You could in theory declare it SORN, keep it on private road, then get temporary insurance and cancel SORN but it could be a lot of hassle and.. the temporary insurance is always quite expensive - at least £50 for a week.
Or just take a taxi, use husband car..
No claim bonus can last up to two years without driving so worth checking with your insurance company.
Apply for a 0% spending credit card, pay on that and then just divide the total into 10 or 11 monthly payments.
Most cards are up to 20 or 24 months, but if you qualify you'll almost certainly be offered 12 month minimum if not more.
Once you've paid it off and the interest free period is over, just cancel it and apply for another.
I stick my insurance and road tax on one every year.
