Hi everyone,
It's been a very long day. So busy at work, ended up working late so I couldn't go swimming. So should have been an NSD but I bought DH a few beers as he'd had a long day with DS.
I've now checked my bank again and they've stopped a dd from coming off!!! So annoyed. I put extra money in yesterday to cover it but they've checked in the morning, have stopped the payment and are going to charge me for going over my overdraft :mad: ... which I didn't as they stopped the payment!!!nowpanicking wrote: »- [STRIKE]check on-line banking[/STRIKE]
