well, guess what, the money didn’t go through again. No travel money, no fee money – nothing. I am pretty disappointed, but not surprised. I am leaving for Liverpool on Wednesday evening as it is my 30th birthday on Sat 29th and I have to spend it with my twin sister (it just wouldn’t be right not to). I was looking forward to some celebrating, frock buying, champagne drinking (oh fine, cava then), not worrying.
As it is, IF the money goes through this week (international payments on Thursdays) then it will be in my account by Tuesday 1st September. One problem, all my bills come out then, rent, studio, council tax etc et… If the money doesn’t go through.. I have no reserves left now, overdraft used, credit card a goner. End of line. Except family loans of course.. but that’s horrible, I don’t want to do that, I’m 30 next week.. an adult capable of supporting themself surely?
Pah. meeting about travel money on Wed morning, so that may be a couple of hundred guaranted for the 1st, although I don’t know why this hasn’t been paid in already. But as for the rest of it, it seems I am at the mercy of Linz council or some other official body…I don’t really know what’s going on.
so for the last two weeks of my residency I may have some money to spend (see reports of drunken, belligerent artists in the cultural capital)? Or not… watch this space….
