I had a surprise (unannounced) visit from my electricity suppliers this morning.
And they had to have access to my flat, as well as the front hall.
Absolutely no warning, no time to prepare.

I had a scheduled visit on Wednesday, which I was waiting and prepared for. The job couldn't be completed then for various reasons, none to do with any access I could or couldn't provide.

I mean, surely any normal person wouldn't be home at 10.10 on a Friday morning?
Or if they were, surely a single woman should be given formal notice? Even mentally robust people might feel a little apprehensive at banging on the door downstairs and shouting.

Me, with my various conditions, paranoia and fears, found it a horrendous experience, although I did everything asked (and fell apart afterwards).

It will work out okay though.
Once I receive my payment key, I will be able to make regular payments when I actually have money as opposed to being constantly hit up for money I don't have. Finding out months later that they've rolled the bill over into an impossible amount.
So it will be okay. I just need to calm down a bit first. And switch off everything electrical in my flat for a few months. Thank goodness it's Summer.
