	Update. I had not actually ordered the soap nuts and lavender oil when I posted and they look like they might be in jeopardy anyway. The new credit card came yesterday, well, I have run up something approaching £50 on the old one so it must be full, and the letter said I could use it immediately so I did. The bloody bank would not accept it!!!!!!!

	Perhaps you need to use it in a retail machine first? It would stop its use if it had been intercepted. It's highly unlikely they'd have blocked it for £50. They'd have just increased your limit. They luv people spending more - just think of the interest they could charge!

	I think it was just because I had only just received it. Probably takes time for the cogs to grind and all that. I do have a limit that is higher than £50 but it is quite unusual for me to owe that much on it.

	Do you have to phone someone first to activate the new card?

	No,no. It all worked today. In a couple of days time I will be the proud owner of a bag of soap nuts. Everything a girl could want!
