Sorry for the long story, but I don't want to drip feed.

My prepay electric meter isn't working, and won't accept the £10 I have on it, I don't know if it's the meter or the key. I have about £2 left of my emergency.
I've been trying to call EDF OOH emergency line since 7pm when I got home from work, but the line is constantly busy, I've called more than 100 times! I've also sent them a WhatsApp, which replies that they try to answer within 12 hours.
Now I'm pretty sure than it won't go off before morning, but here's the thing. I have work at 10am tomorrow and I need to get this sorted. I'm new though, I've been there about 7 weeks, so I don't want them to think I'm a pisstaker, but I think they already know I'm a grafter.

What do I do?? Ring the absence line and tell them I need the day off? Or risk being able to speak to EDF within 10 mins of them opening in the morning?

Aaarrrgghhhh. So stressful. Tell me what to do please 🙈

EDF WhatsApp will be gone for the night. Start checking at 7am. I've twice had non emergencies where I've queried after 8pm answered first thing in the morning as soon as they've opened.
