    OP, could you see if your employer has an emergency loan facility? My employer offers new employees a loan of up to £1k on their first day, to be paid back over the next year by taking it from your pay.

    As Dogrose suggests, try for an advance from your new employer.

    As you've been with them before I'm sure they will be sympathetic.

    In the meantime ((((HUGS)))) - you'll survive. Just because you've chosen an unusual solution to your problem doesn't make it wrong. I have cats and I don't know what I'd do if I lost my home as I'd hate to be accountable to a landlord.

    All the best

    cazducky, i've not been here long, but if you post on the debt free wanna be page people are really lovely.

    i've never had anyone rant at me over there, and they all sound really knowledgeable.

    (most people here seem the same but a few meanies seem to be getting through...)

    :grouphug: so big hugs, i hope that it gets sorted soon, and good luck.
