Help! Micra on the fritz!

Hi guys. I am pleading to you of the car community for help please!

I have an 03 plate Nissan Micra and it has been as good as gold since i got it - until now! There is something seriously wrong with either the electrics or locks.
Basically when you get in the car and turn the engine on the boot will unlock and open (normally the boot can only be opened manually - push release button), and when you get out to shut it, then get back in it will open again. To combat this problem i've been locking the car internally with the lock function, which is fine as the boot won't open now, but when you're driving along the car will beep constantly untill you put your foot ont he brake, then it stops until the break is released and continues to beep. Now to stop it beeping i have to press the unlock button inside the car - but then the boot opens!

I have rung up Nissan and they said the earliest they can have it is Tuesday, but to me that is 6 days of total chaos in the car which i can't be dealing with!

So, has anybody any ideas what it might be or what i can do to sort it out? I'm not expecting a solution (though it would be nice) just some advice on what to do!

Thanks in advance guys!
