What is worse is that we had one child...:eek::eek: and another one arrived before he had a loo. Then again when I brought DS2 home from hospital, I lay in bed thinking I can see the f*ing stars, when I brought DS3 home I could still see the same stars but at least we had a loo (and a washing machine by this time!) x100 -

So, if you do an A C&C order tonight for collection tomorrow, does it just check bank for the £1 holding charge or does it look for the whole amount? I have funds tomorrow so wondered if I could do an order tonight to collect tomorrow, but if it earmarks the whole amount, I can't

I don't know, sorry.
