Okay I'll start by saying I am not looking for financial help from mumsnet nor would I accept any offers (I know people are always suspicious of these posts!)

I am well a truly stuck and haven't got a penny, literally nothing.. Has anyone got any ideas on how to make around £200 ASAP? Like immediately?! I have tried every single loan/payday loan/credit card/overdraft with no success, I have been through everything I can possibly think of to sell. I have asked family. Have no friends where it would be appropriate to ask.

I am working full time as a single parent, I should be on universal credit but they keep messing up my payment and its left me with nothing. I can't apply for an advance with them because I work full time. All of my wages went straight out my account on bills.
I need to get petrol to get to work and have a couple of other bills that are essential to pay now. Fortunately I should be okay with food so there is that..

Any ideas? (I think I would consider chopping my arm off right now!)

Anyone at work you could talk to?
The kids dad?
Can you arrange a small, temporary over draft with the bank?

Would speaking to HR be an option? Some employers would help in emergencies but obviously I don’t know about your’s.

Re the petrol, do have a Nectar or Tesco card you could use?
