    I found a solution, I thought I would post it up because it may just help someone else out there...

    I got a Mastercard (PREPAID!)...no credit involved. So now I can pay anything I want over the phone etc.

    Downsides - to pay anything, you have to pay an extra 1 pound per transation, OR, 5 pounds per month, so I just chose the extra 1 pound per transaction, still cheaper than a real credit card!

    Also, it charges you to withdraw money from a cash machine.

    But it does solve my issue.

    Thanks for your replies guys.

    Well done Matt! Not too much of a downside all things considered. I'm really pleased you're so happy with it.

    Look after yourself..... and your lolly! ;)
