Is NatWest scamming me?

Evening everyone,
Ill get to the point.
I have an overdraft of £250 (my "just incase" money) and went into it last week. I used the whole 250, but a family member paid in £30 into my account as a thank you for a job i did for them, i spent that £30 too.
So in total my account should say -£250, right.
But i noticed something whilst spending the money. Everytime i logged into my online banking, the sum of the item i bought would be deducted from my account, but it wouldnt show on my statement. Then today, i log in to find that my account says: -£257.22.
Where did the extra £7.22 come from.
Isit my bank or did i get my calculations wrong?
(Ps. i wasnt spending the money recklessly, it was spent on christmas presents for family members.)
If someone can please help me out, it will be very appreciated.
Im trying to upload a picture, but MSE seems to think i want to spam the site, i'll keep trying

Either you did your sums wrong or got the timing wrong. Transactions can take some time to appear on your statement - and even 'disappear' then turn up again.
Or one of those transactions is a rogue one you didn't make.0 -
are these bank charges? just call you bank in first instance. You could so easily find out the answer rather than waiting for someone to reply on forum..0
