Self Employed 0% Credit Cards

Hi all,
Wasn't sure whether to put this in the credit card section or here so mods please feel free to move it if necessary.
I've become self-employed in the last 3 months, and previous to this I pretty much always had a 0% Purchase C-Card in my wallet. At the moment, these have reverted back to the regular rates of around 17-18%.
Before I begin to apply for another 0% Card, has anyone got any recommendations of those likely to accept me? I've never had trouble in the past, but I think my lack of recent wages/regular salary could be a hinderance.
The spending on them will be personal, not for business.
I was going to apply for a few, then thought that it could show in a bad light on my credit record!
Cheers
Baz

It will depend so much on your circumstances, but 0% deals are a sales incentive to attract perceived high value customers - you are probably no longer seen that way. Might be better of just using a debit card until you have regular stable income?0
