A chest full of scrap gold

Recently I have noticed that my wallet was half empty and you know what? Nothing has really changed since then. I still don"t have money where I should have them. What is more, I don"t really have them at all. My wallet is full of peanuts and the worst thing is the fact that Christmas are coming and they are actually quite near... Obviously, as you may know by far, I don"t have any presents bought, yet. However I do plan on buying them but right now, I don"t know how I will manage to do it. I was thinking of sending my CV to some work places but then I realized that it was a stupid idea because I won"t have the time to buy those presents and what is most important, I wouldn"t get the payout on time. So here I am, without a clue what to do. I mean, I have few ideas but those are rather last-chance ideas. At this moment I am trying to think of something more ... conventional. One of those ideas was selling gold. Obviously I do not own a ton of gold, neither do I have a gold bullion bar or something like that. The thing is, my parents have a chest where they have a lot of scrap gold so things like gold necklaces and other jewelry. There are quite few of those pieces of jewelry and I was actually thinking that I could ‘borrow" few of them and sell them. I heard that scrap gold is quite pricey now so I might actually get something from selling it.
