Alternatives to cheques?

Having only a Basic Bank Account (NatWest Step Account) I don't get a cheque book.
There is always some things you need to send money in the mail for, so what is the best alternative, or is there any source of a cheque book?
PO Orders are going to be expensive if I can't come up with something.
Many thanks

I have a basic account with the Abbey & if i need a cheque they print me a counter cheque and its free. Just tell them who its payable to & the amount & this is then deducted from my account, no need to wait for clearance. Hope this helps.

Excellent, but not available from NatWest.
All they offer is Bankers Drafts at £12.
Might try an Abbey a/c then.0 -
What kind of things do you send money in the mail for Stu? I only ask because I haven't had a cheque book for years (always lose them...:rolleyes:), so if you give us some examples, we might be able to suggest other ways of sending the money."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250

Hi Stu
My normal building society account produces cheques for me, for free too do you have one you could pay in to? Might be worth a try. I find its just the odd cheque I need, for ebay sellers sometimes or some payments that won't accept Solo..
