Keep calling them in the evenings and ask for a cancellation. I did that last week and got one easily enough

Legally no, you can't drive it.

OP, just so that you know for next time to avoid this situation, you can book the NCT 6 months in advance of it's due date if it is the car's first NCT or 3 months in advance if it's the car's second or subsequent NCT.
