Great idea - go for it SI - how will the raffle work? Need to get our thinking caps on again!
Looks like the general opinion is that the top up card is the way to go - thanks everyone - I will be off to the Post Office to find out more about getting on in the morning.
:p Moxie - Do you know you are the top poster on the forum (well after Ronald that is)!!! You need to spend more time in the pub. x
Yes only playing as we got excited when we saw we could upload photos and that was the first pic we came across. Will have a look later for some more 'rougher lions' to suit us better, David!
Welcome to our new home Badger - hope to meet you soon!

This can't be used with Paypal unfortunately. Elicat, will have a look at Barclays, thanks for the info and will definitely find out about the top-up card option - thanks Bill for the link.
