Banking Question..............

Ok not sure if this is in the right place.........................if not please feel free to move it somewhere more appropriate.
We are trying to sort out our finances at the minute................getting everything coming out of one account as opposed to about 4 different accounts, hopefully with the end result that we will know exactly what 'disposable income' we have at any one time.
Anyway................my question is this.............we have set up a standing order (a few months ago) to transfer some money from one account to another. However I appear to be having a few issues working out just how long this takes to clear. Basically the money comes out of a Northern Bank account on the 5th of every month. Has anyone any idea how many working days this takes to clear to an account in another bank? I phoned them today to ask this very question and they basically said they didnt know! Wonderful eh!!

Its hard to wait around for that something you know may never happen,but its harder to give up when you know its everything you ever wanted.........
People tell me Im going the wrong way..............when its simply a way of my own!
