Ideas for quick cash?

[xchaotic]

A bad coincidence of circumstances, high (but necessary) expenses have all caused my warchest savings to disappear.
I actually settled on a permament job in this grim climate, but the money won't be coming through for at least four weeks.

Any ideas on how to survive until then? Should I try to look in my core domain (coding / XML), I don't have much else to sell, so I'm looking for some creative ideas?

Pay for stuff on a Credit card? As long as you pay it off within the payment period it will work out as an interest free loan to cover you until you get paid.

Overdraft?

ask for a salary advance from your new employer, sometimes they say yes!

I'm paying off last month expenses with cash that I have now, I will be using CC anyway to cover the expenses.

Overdraft?

Getting into debt is the obvious solution, but I'd much earn as opposed to just burying myself deeper.

I did and while they say yes, the payroll is on the 15th each month and they won't make it this month so it's june anyway

Get a white van.

Put a "How am I driving" number on it. Make sure the number is a premium rate number.

Do 10mph in the outside lane of the M4 all day.

Boomed!
