    Oh Reddie, you do make me laugh, even though I want to give you a hug at the same time!

    You ARE doing well, honest: it will seem like nothing's happening for ages, then we will get a joblot of posts saying 'X has happened - brilliant!' and 'Y is going to be paid which is great', and you won't know yourself.

    Chin up, chuck, and keep soldering on. x
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    LOL Taxi

    How disappointing for the recipient only to get £208.00!

    It was sorted with one phone call, but does show the benefit of checking bank everyday.

    Imagine if it had of been Absurd&Ludicrous, I still would be waiting!

    to be honest I've never had a problem with A+L except last weekend when they were transferring accounts.
    The DDs that they've took out since are now showing on the list and the banking is in real time now which is a lot better.I believe they are hard work when it comes to complaints and sorting stuff but haven't had to complain yet...

    Glad you got your money back rather quickly.

    I have spent the last three days inputting every single sale (35 shops x 40 weeks) into a new accounting system!

    Now I am working on all the receipts and invoices since last Oct!!

    But it will be worth it in the end, this new system means I don't have to input the same info over and over (spreadsheet/bank recon/supplier statements etc etc

    BUT it is MORE boring than ebaying! (Didn't think that was possible)
