Hi Jonathan - double entry booking says what it is on the can, you can't have just one line on a journal or you'll throw your books out of balance, you have to have at least 2 lines (one debit & one credit) with both sides balancing.
If it's to do with your post last week, and the difference relates to last financial year, then, as Richard said, one line would be to the bank account to make it correct (debit increases the bank account or reduces the overdraft and visa versa) with the other line crediting or debiting retained earnings.
If it's more complex than that then your accountant should be able to advise.
Cheers
