Well, I've spoken to the bailiff (OK, texted him, then) and I feel easier now. I've got to make an appointment for him to come round to the house for him to collect a deposit and put a "Walking Charge" on 7 items that he can seize if I don't keep up payments.
I forgot to say yesterday as well that I've cleared my first bill last month as I got my last pay cheque. This was the heating oil bill for my old house - and it took me 14 months to pay it off. Goodbye, Pace Fuelcare - for ever.
And I'd found out I'd sold another four books up to yesterday as well, My royalty payment so far this month is £20.71. I'm two books short of last months total, with 15 days left until the end of this pay period. Obviously, I'm aiming to better last months sales, and, eventually, build up to a £100 monthly income as a base.
Had a management meeting at work today with my line manager of the contract company I work for. They have no staff to cover my Mondays now, so my four day week has been put back one week. Next week, starting Monday, I'm training another security guard up to take over my Monday shifts.
Realistically, it's putting everything back just one week. Personally, it's a pain in the arse because my line manager hasn't said anything about this until he came down for his meeting today. He's kept quiet for four weeks, suddenly dropping this on me today.
I said to Andrew, the colleague I work with, that if this had happened twelve months later, when I didn't owe him any money, that manager would have had my one month notice today.
It's amazing how people get away with treating you badly just because you're in debt. This will be changing. Soon.
