I've been making the most of the pounds swan dive when while back in the UK and withdrawing cash from our overseas savings account using an ATM card - the fees are at a flat rate, and I get the local exchange rate which is even more favorable than the one I would doing FX here.

I have been told that paying in anything over a couple of thousand will result in me being interrogated by the bank for anti-money laundering.

Is it this hard to pay my own money in or not?

You just need to show where the money comes from. Had a similar issue recently so went in with all the documents but they didn't seem that fussed

As above, if they ask say its your money. If really necessary show them a screen shot/statement from the account.

Use a cool iron on those new plastic notes.
