Thats bad news buddy....Im not in a position to loan you that cash. But don't go selling what's dear to you just yet....

The bike might be the only thing that will keep you sane over the next few months.

Good luck.

Ah ok....was going to say that I have a spare room should you be totally desparate. But West Sussex to Notts...nah.

You must have some kit to sell other than a bike?

Ebay some stuff, or maybe a car boot sale. Did one the other weekend and turned up with some cds, dvds few odd bike bits and various crap I didn't want. Was amazed to make 165 quid! Thought I was going to get about 50 to 60. Worth a go?

No worries Mikey. I've been in a few tight spots in my time and I well remember how difficult things can be.

Remember me when you're famous...

I know it's not why you posted, but I haven't forgotten that desperation when a skint student. I'm too rubbish a rider to benefit from a jumpbike so thought Zedsdead had the right idea. You're another quid closer... good luck

an idea? well if you want to sell something for £200 a description is an idea, er explain to your landlord whats happened, tell him your good for it then get weaving, do some cash work as in gardening, decorating shifting.what can you do?

Zedsdead you star! I thought of doing exactly the same thing when he first posted..then got distracted.

I lived in the back of a van for a year so now all about hardships in life.

I too will donate a pound.

But I don't normally give handouts so.....when you are more solvent promise me that the cash you generate here is donated back to a worthy cause of the majorities preference.

So a £1 and RNLI

Can't paypal you a quid as I don't have paypal. Got to second the above though, sort out housing benefit as soon as you can. And talk to your landlord/letting agent, they might be sympathetic to your situation (and if they aren't it still takes quite a while for them to do anything about it).

cheers

Mike sorry to be personal, but why are you living away from the family home, and what happene dto borrowing off your family, i well understand that some things must remain personal to you,but do go down the local benefit office and claim jobseekers and housing benefit, the CAB, will help you fill out the forms, if you where local id offer to help , but you are just a name on an internet forum,but i seriously wish you the best of luck.

Hey guys. Thank you all so much for the donations and support.

Project - i never really thought about that tbh. my family live in north wales and i hardly ever see or hear from them. My friend told me that because i have lost my job i cannot claim for anything until 6 months later. 😕

Can you not find cash in hand work ? There must be the odd job you can do ? Fixing bikes ? Running errands ? Have you signed on ?

Your friend may not be entirely correct re. benefits - check it out carefully and it costs nothing to ask. Enquire both with Job Centre Plus directly and speak to Citizens Advice.
