My exhaust has been rattling and i think one of the bolts has come lose.
Last time it was checked they said one of the pipes wasnt long enough to hold properly
Where would be the best place to take it (please dont say to a mechanic!) how much do you think a new part of piping would be?

go to a tyre and exhaust centre.
they'll probably be able to pull it on further and tighten up the clamps if thats really the problem.
could just be that the heatshield has come loose.

But it sounds like there is a bolt or nut or something rolling around under my passenger seat and when i pull round on full lock to the right to reverse my car it rolls from side to side
It stopped last time they tightened the pipe bit but then i kinda knocked my exhaust a couple of weeks ago

If i was you pop down to Kwick fit and dont go to the main office have a quick word with one of the lads working and ask them have a wee ganders. They are always after a bit of private work. Let them have a look them bung em £5 for their troubles or just wear a low cut top 
I got a mate of mine ti fit my magnext to my car and had it all TIG welded up for £30 notes and it has only fallen off once in four years due to JR's giving it stick
