Default Oyster Card Pre Pay Top Up

Hi, late last week I realised my pre-pay oyster card was getting low
(90p left) so I decided to top it up. Usually I use the touch-screen
terminals in underground stations, but I was in a rush and saw there
was a top-up terminal in a newsagents. After leaving my card on the
circular blue reader whilst I paid, he gave me the following receipt:

---------------------------
Tfl ticket outlet

Add Pre Pay
18/10/05

TOTAL 10.00
CASH 10.00

Oyster Crd 123123123 12

Please keep this receipt
You may need to quote yo
Oyster card number if yo
www.tfl.gov.uk/oyster

18/10/05 12:23

12345 12345 12
---------------------------

(the truncated text in the middle is how it was printed on the receipt,
I presume the words are 'you'/'your'.)

I logged into the Oyster website at tfl.org and it still says I have
only 90p, not 10.90. Do I need to wait longer for the money to register
or do I need to do something more to validate it or something?

Thanks in advance
