Ok - this is mostly my own fault, so I'll understand if people aren't particularly interested in helping.
Basically I upgraded barbelith to the high volume account over a month ago and assumed that they'd take the money for the month out of my account immediately and never checked.
In fact they didn't, and they've just sent me a stroppy note demanding $250 immediately. Now that's $130 x 2 + the $30 set-up fee minus what we WOULD have already paid for the month up until that point.
Now, paypal donations are running at about $90 a month. Which is great. And I was planning to cover the shortfall between $180 and $250 out of my pocket, but because I've mistimed everything and now have to pay the whole amount in one block, I can't easily cover that shortfall any more. So basically I need $70 in Paypal donations or a cheque for an equivalent amount in my hands by the end of the month at the latest and a week from now at the most ideal.
And in the meantime, if anyone hasn't subscribed - there's still time to do so and it would be extremely helpful to be able to get the monthly donations up to the $130 that the board needs.
Sorry everyone - I feel like I've let you all down with this one...
