Twenty pounds should be plenty for a small bottle of Metacam.
Unfortunately, as you know, but your mum probably doesn't, bunnies hide their pain as much as possible. You are right in looking for the signs she is uncomfortable, so well done for indentifyin them. I hope that you are able to get some pain meds.

I really think she needs the pain meds. She sounds like she's in real distress if she's not eating or drinking. Rabbits need to have their GI systems going at all times and so they have to eat constantly. Not eating or pooing for 24 hours is a very serious problem. Your vet should know that. Have you tried syringe feeding her anything, like baby food, canned pumpkin, pellet slurry, or critical care? She needs to get something in her, and soon. Pain meds will make her feel better so that she will eat, but if they won't give you those try syringe-feeding her until you can get the medicine from that vet or perhaps another one because this one seems uncooperative.
ok..........
i looked at the stches.
she pulled some more out and is eatting wetted fruit and veggies. (on;y the ones that are introducted to her)
and the wound, the stiches have been pulled out.

Elena, your vet could be perfectly good with other animals, and maybe think he knows rabbits, but actually not doesn't. It's really hard when you're younger and you know things and you want certain things, but can't get them because those older than you say no. I agree that your vet is not the greatest, and I would suggest not using them in the future. Why? Because I used to have a vet that wasn't the greatest and I was too thick to know, and those vets cost the lives of5 of my rabbits. I wish, like you, I had known they weren't good, and had gone looking for a better one because those buns might still be alive (or at the least, I would think maybe 4 of them might have been). Thankfully I have now found a better one, and it makes the world of difference for your rabbit care. You're in a very hard position, but I do think it is worth looking around for another vet.
To me, she still sounds in pain if she is pulling her wound. How is her urine this morning? Is she still lying in wee? How is she in herself?

not weeing , asin on her self. there is a bit more wee in the litter box.
poo, yes..... (all of this is from this morning, im in school now...)
she is alot better in herself, like carachter. but the womd worries me. when i get home will ring up st. elmos vets. they are rabbit vets aswell. and foyle view. but the one which she got done in (whitehouse)vets said to ring him at 5 ish to tell him how shwe is. ill ask on the phone about meds for pain. like,.. the ones other post above.
there is atleast 2 more rabbit vets in the surronding area. foyle view is a small animal and horse clinic.... st elmos has some good known vets for small animals , like rabbits.
ove all from this morning she is ok. but my brother took a pic of the wound. so if it looks worse when we get back, or the vet says on the phone o bring her in i will.
(she actually likes the car rides, from her body laugue)

Good. I'm glad you have pain meds and a better vet. Did he re-close up her wound?
I'm glad that you saw someone that really helped you...
