One step forward, two steps back:

Today I have been trying to get all of my running around done, but there always seems to be something standing in my way.
I got to work this morning and realised that I had a hell of a lot to do today, so I emailed my boss (who was obviously not in the office at the time), and asked her if she would prefer me to tackle an item each day, or if she would prefer it if I had a whole day off to try and get everything done. I received a phone call from her shortly after to let me know that she was on her way into the office, and that once she got in, she was happy for me to leave and do all of the things that I needed to do.
When I got home I jumped straight on the internet to finish filing my claim for Youth Allowance. I spoke to a lady this morning who gave me my Centrelink reference number and created me a temporary password so that I could log on and find all of the documents that I needed to fill out.
Once I had finished filling out all of the forms (almost an hour later!), I had a look at the last page. One day this week I will need to go into a Centrelink office with one hundred points of ID. That is fine, I'm not worried about that as I have all of the items of ID that I will need, but what I also noticed, was that they will need to see a copy of my lease/ tenancy agreement, which brings me to my first obstacle, I am not on the lease where I am living at the moment!
Luckily I had a feeling that Centrelink may need to see this document, so last week I got Mat to get a tenancy application form from the real estate. I have the forms all filled out, however, our appointment to see them is not until this afternoon. I am hoping that they will give me the documents that I need straight away instead of having to send them to me in a couple of days.
So that eliminates any chance of me going into the Centrelink office today. Next, I decide to call my bank again to extend my loan repayment so that I can decrease the amount of money that the bank takes out per week. Now, for the past few weeks, my pay hasn't been going in on time. My loan repayment comes out on the same day each week, and up until recently, so did my pay. Now, through no fault of my own, I have been given a bad credit rating. The bank has told me that they will need to see this improve over the next six months before they will consider letting me extend my loan.
So I have now done as much as I can possibly do today. I have gone into the real estate to hand them my lease/ tenancy application, which I need before I can go into Centrelink, which I need before I can enrol in my course.
I am just praying that I can get this all done by the end of the week and on time for me to start my communications and media course. Fingers crossed!
