From my bank 3p

From a street corner 3p

AdoraBell · 20/03/2019 21:55

Right now the 3 quid in my jeans pocket. If I go to the bank they’ll probably want that towards my overdraft Hmm

What are you watching OP ?

JoshLymanIsHotterThanSam · 20/03/2019 21:59

A few hundred quid.

I certainly lyncouldnt pay a ransom for anyone, or post bail Grin

FatKatt · 20/03/2019 22:01

About £400 at a push.

coffeeforone · 20/03/2019 22:03

About £10k fairly easily. But I suppose if I was very desperate I could beg and borrow a lot more from friends and family.

FatKatt · 20/03/2019 22:04

Gosh a lot of you are really rich.

Must be lovely.

Drogosnextwife · 20/03/2019 22:06

A couple of thousand without selling anything or borrowing money.

JohnnyHatesJazz · 20/03/2019 22:06

If allowed to withdraw from the bank, about £40-45k. Actual cash at this moment in time in the house? Maybe £30 ish.

Oh and a pound coin in the car for shopping trollies.

LaurieFairyCake · 20/03/2019 22:07

The maximum we can both take out on our bank cards is £250
Plus £250 cash advance on all the credit cards

Only online banking so couldn't arrange to withdraw a large cash amount in 24 hrs

So with all the credit cards and bank cards only £1250.

That's not great Hmm

The last time I needed to buy something £10k for a builder it was a right faff

Drogosnextwife · 20/03/2019 22:07

I was just thinking the same Fatkatt

JohnnyHatesJazz · 20/03/2019 22:07

@FatKatt

We're saving to buy our first house.

Vanillamanilla1 · 20/03/2019 22:08

Juggling money between bank accounts probably about 5k
Credit cards about 3k
Cash within the next 5 minutes or less ..probably about 1k

Drogosnextwife · 20/03/2019 22:09

Oh actually I could get money from credit cards but that's borrowing I suppose but if I counted that about another 5k.

If we borrowed money from family then we could get quite a bit I think, but I'm not nosey so don't really know what they could give us or have access too because I don't ask about their finances.

LindaLa · 20/03/2019 22:10

About £80 right now although I'd have to live the dog off of my purse and he is snoring.

Otherwise, it's dependent on what it's for.
Loan for a friend £100
Sponsor a hike/run/spell test £10
Kidnapped a family member, depends on who, between keep them and everything I have and more.

anniehm · 20/03/2019 22:12

If I can get to the bank, about £10k plus I've got a £15k limit on my credit card in emergency

Josiebloggs · 20/03/2019 22:12

Around 1k without leaving the house. Around 10k from the bank, more if I used credits cards.

elephantoverthehill · 20/03/2019 22:13

In my purse about £3.45. Why are you asking OP?

SneakyGremlins · 20/03/2019 22:14

£0.43 is all I have currently.

Will I not be kidnapped? Sad

C0untDucku1a · 20/03/2019 22:21

Ive got £10.06 in my purse.

Practicallyperfectwithprosecco · 20/03/2019 22:25

34p in my purse and there is the pennies jar in the kitchen.

End of month so £18.68 in bank but pet insurance due tomorrow so that will leave less than a fiver.

The kids have money in their rooms well the girls do but I can't take that as it's for important stuff like make up and body sprays.

DH might have money in his account - we don't do joint accounts. If I kill him it's then mine isn't it?

Living in the south east is so depressing if you don't earn a mega salary! 2 decentish salaries but 3 kids and mortgage down here means no money at end of month, seriously we could lay our hands on less than £200 right now. But we are healthy and happy and that's the important thing.

And definitely not at risk of kidnap - I would have to pay the ransom in cake!

MrsJBaptiste · 20/03/2019 22:26

£25,000 if we had 24 hours to cash in shares, draw out savings, etc.

MissSmiley · 20/03/2019 22:29

70k

Nat6999 · 20/03/2019 22:30

Probably about £3k

MrsPinkCock · 20/03/2019 22:31

Probably about £300k, but I’d be clearing my mortgage and business account to do it!

From savings and current account much less, about 10k.

Mummyshark2018 · 20/03/2019 22:34

In my purse?
In my current and savings account?
As a family , with dh current and savings taken into account?
If we asked the bank?
Credit cards?
Family?
Too many variables it seems. Why do you ask?
