Can I still spend my balance?

I am re-building my credit using a Cap 1 Classic Card. I pay the balance in full early each month.

My question is this, I have just paid the balance due on 8th June 2012. I had not used the card to its' limit so still have a little credit available. If I use this prior to the balance due date will I be charged interest as if I had not paid the full balance or will it be taken as Junes' spending and be on the next bill.

Hope that is understandable!

    If you have been paying off in full each and every month then any spending on the account after the statement date will not attract interest even if the spending is before the payment due date.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
