over my overdraft limit

oops :o

Had cheque clearing out (a large one) & had the money in there.

I wrote a cheque out to a friend a month ago for £20.

Forgot about the £20 & checked account today & the £20 has gone out leaving me £2.56 over my small overdraft limit.

I am going to go into the bank today with some money to put in & hope they will not fine me etc etc cos it'll end up being over £50 of charges by the time they do the £30 fine & then then £28 fine.

I have always been good with the bank so wish me luck.
