So much for a HHC! I just checked my bank balance before starting and realised that a direct debit had gone out before I expected it and I've gone over my overdraft limit. :eek:
The nice man at the contact centre said that if they can extend the overdraft by a bit before 2.30 I won't be charged extra :A - waiting for them to get back to me now. I've also phoned Yorkshire Water to change the date of the direct debit to just after, rather than just before my pay day. Phew - at least it won't happen again.
Will try again for a HHC, 1.30-2.0 -
