I had the play around like george website says to do when you first put pocket george on, and then I downloaded the configuration utility so I could use it for real and did the two hotsyncs as it reccomended and then downloaded my weeks work and last weeks debt list. Then today collected as many debts as poss leaving just 4 debts left to collect next time.
then i did what i said in my first post above.
i'll try and sync it again and see what happens in a sec!
