    How did you pay for the holiday?
    The only solution I have is for you to clear an existing card and use that.

    Joining this forum could be the best thing you ever did.

    You have already had the answer to your question - no chance.

    I would also guess that, by habit, you are very "last minute" with a lot of things.

    But when you get back from this holiday it's time to take control of your finances.

    For now, work out the following:

    - all essential outgoings (bills/food/travel to work etc)
    - the difference between that amount and the amount you are paid

    It will probably be an obscene amount of non-essential spending that you do. Take that knowledge with you on holiday. Enjoy your holiday.

    Then get stuck in to this article from the main site on your return. Make 2010 the year that you get ahead on your finances.
