    Lesley, do you think you should see your doctor? It sounds like all this stress is making you ill. Perhaps you need some time out to gather yourself and relax a little

    I went out and got icecream and chocolate today (very naughty, but its the first chocolate since Friday I think) so I've got about 70p to add to my pot!

    LOL, don't worry you will soon be miles ahead!

    I got 4p today when I got petrol, and my mum gave me 5p to put in my piggy bank which has 5ps 2ps and 1ps in it. I won't count that, its seperate. She told me something shocking - my dad is planning to take lots of their loose change to the counting machine at Tescos. I cant bear the thought of it - those machines take 8%! I've told her not to let Dad touch it, and I will count it up for him. Perhaps I should go into business counting up for people, I could charge say 5% and get all Tesco customers!
