    Have you ever heard of punctuation marks?
    If (and it's a big IF) I understand your post correctly, there were two £99 pre-authorisations and one payment. Both pre-authorisations have to drop off soon; the payment will remain.

    Did you enter PIN twice?
    Was there any error messages as to why you put your card in a 2nd time?
    Are any pending payments showing on your account?
