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.

    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..
