Moving money is slow

All I want to do is buy a new computer! So a week yesterday (known as the first Friday) I put in an electronic fund transfer as I mentioned on October 17th. Finally found the money on Thursday 23rd resting in my Lloyds TSB account.

I decided I wasn’t waiting for it to be EFT’ed into my HSBC account so I went into down, took the money out in cash and took it over to HSBC. They don’t have cachiers now though so I had to use a paying in envolope. They say they will sort it the same day if you pay it in before 3:30. I paid it in at like 2:30 and it wasn’t.

Now it’s Saturday morning and they have sorted it so I have just phoned them now and they are moving it from my current account to my credit card account so I can finally buy my computer. But that is going to take two working days which takes us to Tuesday-Wednesday (that’s 11-12 days after I started this process)!
