On Friday they don't arrive. I visit the bank who tell me I cannot make a payment with my passport because the landlord is not with Natwest.

On Saturday there is mysteriously no post. We visit the estate agent and explain the situation and to wait until Monday.

I am unable to get the bus because TFL stops accepting cash. I walk to work.

The estate agent explains that we have until 5pm to send the money.

All through this: (1) cards don't get sent, (2) cards get lost in the post, (3) customer service says things which aren't true, etc.

Ultimately I'm at fault for not updating my address but the reason was that for a long while I moved around too often for this to be safe.

Realising that I'd lose the new flat, didn't have money for food, and could be homeless if finance couldn't be sorted in 2 weeks scared me.

But I feel I've had my eyes partly opened to how uncomfortable loss of control of money is. I only lost access to mine. At least it's there.

Lose access to your finances and watch in despair at the stress breakages cause you.

Even small things you don't even think about. What happens when you your cushy email address at your personal domain gets locked out?
