    I'd wait til at least you have a good amount of green [0]'s - if your cap1 is old and has at least a years worth then go for tesco first of all then maybe try MBNA (Virgin)..... otherwise i'd wait a little bit cos too much too soon will look bad...

    Your house insurance will have no impact - separate divisions.
