Exclude category to affect ‘numberposts’

    Hi,
    Is anybody able to help me out with the following query:
    To display posts on a page I am using the following:

    $lastposts = get_posts('numberposts=1');
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);

    I wanted to exclude a specific category from this which I achieved by adding:

    if (in_category('testcategory')) continue;

    However a problem arises if the latest post was in the category I wanted to exclude (in this instance ‘testcategory’). ‘numberposts’ doesn’t account for the excluded category. Is there a way to get around this (without writing ‘numberposts=2’)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Find out the category ID you want excluded, then use that…for example assume 67 is that category ID

    $lastposts = get_posts('cat=-67&numberposts=1');
