recommendations for a credit card if self employed

and basically just to get me over the 3 months. i have no debts and the last time i looked on experian - about a few weeks back - my credit rating was good. did not do the others yet. i do not have any CCJ. only issue at mo is proving income. my bank abbey has given me a credit card which i believe is organized by mbna. the limit is £2,600 and i can get cash put into the account and pay a handling fee which will amount to about £60 which i think could be ok. however i would need a second card or option to give me a breather for this periood as i think this will be a bit limited. i have had a few other cards such a lloyds and another (cannot remember name off hand) but i know that usually you need to leave a period of 6 months before you can apply or get a deal ago so am not within time limits for this. all will normally be paid off next year. any tips appreciated. i am a home owner.
