Yeah your rubber bush is pretty much dead, replace the whole thing, pretty easy to do however I would just be careful when undoing the bolts as they have a tendency to snap or just as bad have the captive nut inside the subframe snap off... a blow torch comes in handy...

do you think something like that would last till the end of the month?

nice wishbone vinny, as suggested dont drive mate, new ones available off ebay well cheap, think someone already mentioned, just warm them with a blow torch helps a lot...hope all goes well mate..
