A young woman has put her eggs for sale on the internet to pay off £15,000 of credit card debts.
Alexandra Saunders posted her details on an American website after reading about the huge amount that can be made in a woman's magazine.
The 26-year-old, who already has three jobs to try and pay off her debts, thought it would be an easy way to make money.
It is illegal for a woman to sell her eggs within the UK but egg donation is big business in the US where childless couples pay up to £20,000 in exchange the eggs of a young healthy woman
Miss Saunders, of High Wycombe, Bucks, admitted that she was lured by the prospect of money.
She said: 'I was sat in a doctor's waiting room and I read about it in a magazine.
'It just said, 'Sell your eggs for thirty grand' or something like that. There was the name of a website at the end of the piece which I can't remember the name of and I just put my name down.
'There was a long list of women who had also put their names down.
'You put down a few details about yourself such as whether you're healthy or smoke and that's it. I haven't heard anything yet but couples can get in touch with me directly.'
Miss Saunders works as a software co-ordinator during the day and works five nights a week in two different pubs, earning a total of about £20,000 a year.
'I'm quite a bit in debt and I just want to get it paid off really. I ran up the debts by just being an idiot.
So any of you thinking about other creative ways to make £££ for that deposit?
