Reconciling with the bank when their dates differ

Hi

I've not been using gnucash long so this is probably going to be simple *grin*

I've got a bank current account plus several virtual accounts for expenses etc
set up like the concept guide, and I'm using gnucash just for personal use.

The bank account comes with a debit card which I use for everything and then I
enter expenditure against that account into gnucash on the day it happens though
it takes several days before that shows at the bank. This makes it painful to
check gnucash against my bank statements as they'll probably never show quite
the same amounts.

How do people generally deal with this kind of thing (bearing in mind that my
bank statements are the real record).  I had though of creating an account for
pending payments but that would probably mean entering payments twice.
