No, i'm waiting on mine as well. I was going to call the bank to see if there is anything waiting to go in yet.

Squidgem - I called the bank, they cannot see anything appearing from Helion, and have asked me to contact the orginator for them to trace it.

Thanks for the replys . There is definitely nothing pending for me, which is very odd as there were others on here yesterday that said their payment was showing in their HSBC account. I suppose we will have to email Helion .

P.S. Would you let me know how you get on please, and I will do the same.

Got a very nice phone call from gyp last night wanting me to do a burger job at lunch today just down the road from my work. As I have not seen any burger jobs for months I thought I had been sacked from them but I said yes and asked about any other jobs coming up for the wee supermarket and the letter client (can not remember how people tend to describe it), he gave me 4 supermarket and 3 letter ones over the next couple of months :T as a thank you for doing the one job!! Had it not been for people on here I would have just said I would do the job today and not thought to ask about anything else.

I do have one question that I am sure is in the notes but I can not see it at a quick skim (will be reading them fully later on this morning). Can I pay by debit card or does it have to be cash?

Has everbody that banks with HSBC received their April payments please? Mine's still not even showing as pending .

Mine showed up late yesterday afternoon. It never went into the pending box, but just popped straight into my account.

Max said yesterday that if any payments had not showed up by Friday to contact him. He specifically said that it could take 5 working days to go into our accounts. I don't think he's going to look into it until Friday so there's no point in contacting him yet.

I reckon they'll all show up today at some point. Keep checking your account.

Either. Just make sure you get a VAT receipt when paying by debit card, not just the card receipt.

I read the post yesterday, but to be honest it doesn't make any sense. I appreciate that payments reach different banks at different times, but if all the payments are made at the same time then they should reach each individual bank at the same time. I don't think there's any chance of showing up today as HSBC have just told me it's not even pending yet .

On a completely different note.....I have just had to release a very nice ESA smelly shop in Cambridge for anyone that's near enough. The asthma/chest infection I thought I had has developed into bronchitis so I am feeling a little under the weather .

If it's any consolation Halifax are also dragging with my Helion payment. I'm assuming it has something to do with the time it takes to get the money converted etc.

Actually while I remember I was at a gyp burger forum thing recently...

The presentation they showed still lists the bookies that have definitely gone elsewhere and the corner shops that are in the process of moving...

They have removed the sandwiches though

Didn't realise the corner shops were going elsewhere... assume this is the red ones? Pity, I quite liked those!

Anyone know where they've gone?

And yet isn't it strange if you make a purchase on your credit card in a foreign currency it appears on your account immediately?

Sorry for being flippant, I have no idea what the delay is, but I am reminded of the 4 days apparently required to process cheques!

Spoke too soon! Received an email this morning confirming whether I had asked for no ice in my coke - I did so I probably will not get paid for it! Dam me!

Got an email today - I will not be paid as I "modified" my meal - "You ordered your drink without ice. As stated in the paper work you can not modify your meal."

Ow well - guess you win some and lose some

How is everyone else today?
