Can I get to the bank? If so probably about £12k without major hassle. Likely another £10k or so with some running around.

If I can't get to the bank probably around £5k

CoffeeRunner · 20/03/2019 21:28

If you mean my own personal wealth, then roughly £6.54.

If borrowing from a sibling is included then much much more.

Blankiefan · 20/03/2019 21:29

Missing - where are you getting £5K without going to the bank? Is it under the mattress / in the biscuit tin?? Shock

Meretricious · 20/03/2019 21:29

To the bank yes.

Do you mean like ACTUAL cash i.e. withdraw from bank?

We could shuffle money but most accounts have a cashpoint limit for withdrawals...

In the house generally, if I couldn't get to a bank, definitely under a tenner! We're always scrabbling for the bloody Tooth Fairy...

isseywithcats · 20/03/2019 21:33

at a push £500 from account and probably £1000 bank loan

emwithme · 20/03/2019 21:34

Are we talking about liquidating assets (cars/jewellery) or actual cash? If the former (We buy any car/pawnbroker etc) then probably about £25k. If just easy-access bank accounts, then about £7.5k

Given 30 days notice we could get considerably more.

dadap · 20/03/2019 21:35

£21.42p

safariboot · 20/03/2019 21:36

I could maybe hit £500 if I sold a load of stuff to Computer Exchange, Cash Converters, and the like. But I'd have to be truly desperate to do that, because I'd get nowhere near what it's really worth.

SouthernComforts · 20/03/2019 21:38

Well, Next seem hell bent on pushing my credit limit up by thousands each year, so I could buy a limitless amount of Just Pink Grin

In reality, maybe £10k between credit cards, and a few thousand between family. The repayments on the credit cards would cripple me though.

Hanab · 20/03/2019 21:39

🤷🏻‍♀️ Not much way under £100

JustHereForThePooStories · 20/03/2019 21:40

If I can go to the bank, about £63k.

nancy75 · 20/03/2019 21:40

From just round the house about £20, from the bank about £3k, if I can ask my parents it would be a considerable amount

Lobsterquadrille2 · 20/03/2019 21:40

About £19k. Why?

BentNeckLady · 20/03/2019 21:42

There’s probably a couple of hundred quid in our purses or kicking around the house In piggy banks etc. I’m not going to tell you how much money I’ve got in savings though Confused

Ffsnosexallowed · 20/03/2019 21:42

If I raided the dcs accounts and accessed accounts which I'm signatory to (but not my money) and including credit cards probably around 70k. If I had 30 days then around £150k. But would it the end of some pretty important relationships. If just my money then around £40k

nocoolnamesleft · 20/03/2019 21:43

Are you fishing for blackmail/kidnap victims who would make you the most profit? Grin

HellAndDegenerates · 20/03/2019 21:43

About 600k in cash.

darkriver19886 · 20/03/2019 21:44

From my purse right now... £4.50
From the bank in the next 24 hours. £460.

Troels · 20/03/2019 21:47

Why are you going to kidnap the winner and hold her to ransom?
If you are talking bank and cards in 4 hours. Then a hell of a lot.
Please don't kidnap me. Dh is useless at banking/CC's he could probaby find £20 in his wallet.

SoyDora · 20/03/2019 21:48

If I could get to the bank then about £100k

Stormwhale · 20/03/2019 21:49

From home, around £300. From the bank around 2.5k. From family, depending on the reason, and if it was an emergency, probably £20k or so.

NoParticularPattern · 20/03/2019 21:52

My personal cash? None. Well minus figures actually but since I can’t give a minus figure away (I’ve tried!) then none.

Joint funds, accounts etc then about £65k but obviously that wouldn’t be actual rolls of cash- just the number on a bank account. If I could borrow from parents/grandparents then probably a huge amount more. Like at least 10x, but I’d have to do some serious grovelling and probably be the black sheep forever more.

LucyFox · 20/03/2019 21:52

In the house right now maybe £45 (raiding change pot etc)
In cash allowing for a trip to a cash machine... i believe I can draw £250/day at the cash machine from each of my accounts & I could draw some cash off the credit card if I had to (wouldn’t unless absolute emergency due to interest rates) so maybe £1000
In credit/bank transfer/if I could get to various bank branches I could do much more ...

Akataka · 20/03/2019 21:53

About a tenner currently. But I could withdraw that then go buy a skimask and rob the bank? Wink
