    You'll have to wait until the banks are open, unless you know anyone who'd be willing to cash them for you personally. I knew someone who worked in a shop and they'd cash my cheque for me if I needed, but that's because they trusted me.

    It'll be Tuesday before you can lodge them to your account as Monday is a bank holiday. Btw, the banks aren't closed today because it's Paddy's Day, they're never open on Saturday.

    How long can you leave a cheque without lodging it before it goes out of date? thanks

    I think there is a 6 month time limit on them. Don't have a source for it but its something I remember from my banking days.

    Of course you don't have a source for it: it's an unwritten rule, but generally followed.

    The written rule (I'm too lazy to check sources, and it's only a conversational point anyway) is that it should not have been "an unreasonably long time in circulation".
