A few wise words handed to me in times of need........
First up a valuable, but costly pair........

CREDIT CARD?

Then there's........
BANK JOB?

Or times of extremety any one of these........
BUSKING, BORROWING (permantly if possible?) or BLAGGING!!!!!!!!!!

Hope it helps? Had similar run of luck myself Xmas time! Good luck mate! I hit "EBAY CLEARANCE OF ASSETTS" OPTION AS MY SOLUTION!
