Sometimes it is easier to just ask for an increase to your credit limit. The other money will eventually clear.
Thanks PP. Yes, might do that anyway, as 2000€ doesn't go that far if I do something sensible like buying a new bike. I wasn't sure how long a hold on funds lasted before expiring without further action. Annoyingly, it doesn't appear anywhere on my online banking account (as far as I can see), though the (real) person in the bank on Friday could see it on her screen.
