Just checked RMF very quickly. I didn't see any mention of exactly where Nicola's money came from. There's an early discussion where Mrs M suggests Peter and Lawrie cash in some of their Savings Certs to buy the Idiot. Then later on Nicola and Peter agree to go halves but don't talk about accessing the money and finally Nicola heads over to Patrick's to pick him (TIB, not Patrick) up "with her mother's cheque to Mr Merrick in her pocket." Unless anything comes up later on, in which case I didn't spot it (I should be working!)
By the way, the price they paid was 50 guineas between them.
