    They may give you a small 'grace buffer' on which you won't get charged - or they might not.

    Your best bet is to get the account credited with some funds ASAP to get you back on the right side of your limit and see what happens - if you do get charged speak to the bank nicely and they may waive the charge for your 'first offence' :)

    Agreed, put your account in credit as soon as you can and ring them to explain - they may waive the charges this time if you call them and apologise and explain the situation.

    First thing Monday morning, walk into the branch and pay in cash over the counter. You probably won't be charged.
