You know those times when you really need to get some money in – ideally your own money that you’ve made yourself, but it can also include a bit of cheap borrowing?

My mum and I have bought a flat for her and it has cleaned me out…right out…and now the builders need their money to get the bathroom sorted.

Time to get some cash in.
