Thanks. Just to clarfiy, this is not a long term thing. It is just a couple of times recently because of negligence. I usually have a travel card which should come up on my history too if checked. I wasn't looking for sympathy, it was stupid of me. Again, thanks for the information

I didn't intend to indicate that. I've just made a mistake. Thanks.
