Great, because I was short on my AQA money last month, I am now short on my Egg loan money. It's due out on the 28th and I need £200 for it.

I've already got £30 towards it and am expecting £17 mystery shopping money before that (although only £7 of that is actually showing up at the moment :rolleyes: ).

I've got a few bits I can list on Ebay which I reckon will get me £50. I think the only chance I've got of raising the rest is a carboot but if this weather doesn't improve soon then I won't be able to do one. The weather forecast for this Sunday is heavy showers, it's Easter the following Sunday and the Sunday after that will be too late .

Any ideas much appreciated.

Have you done the free bingo sites Emily? Very boring but I've had quite a few wins.

can you borrow it from a family member?... i know you will pay it back but if you got it short term loan then at least it would stop charges

I have tried most of them now I think, I got about £40 out if it in total but that went straight back on my credit card.

Will see if there are anymore that I can try

Most of my family members are always skint :rotfl: . Plus my family don't really know the extent of my debt problems. My fiance does but I can't borrow the money from him.

I know this won't help with my Egg payment, but I have just taken on another 3 mystery shops which will get me £15 in total so that will be £20 earnt this weekend and they are ones with no spend too .

I've just joined the mad Ebay challenge to try and motivate me to get my £170 for the Egg loan - fingers crossed. I will be Ebaying like mad over the next few days but they will need to finish by a week today at the latest as I will need to withdraw any Paypal money and there's Easter which will hold things up :rolleyes: .

This might be tough.

Good luck with the ebay challenge! I'm trying to get a few hundred together to clear off a credit card, and one thing I did was sell some old mobile phones to envirophone. Got cashback as well (though can't remember which site - maybe pigsback?). So have a look around and see if you've got any old phones you don't need anymore (they even take really old ones and broken ones), and you can get some cash from them! Plus I like the idea that they are being recycled, and maybe someone who needs one will get one.
