I don't know why I'm posting this under the entertainment heading - mind you the sight of me hobbling 26.2 miles round London April 13 will be quite an entertaining one I'm sure! Well as the editor of this thing I guess one of the perks has to be being able to write what the hell I like here - and that includes a plea for sponsorship.

I'm trying to raise some money for a brilliant organisation called the Princess Royal Trust for Carers. It does fantastic work helping and supporting people who care for sick, elderly and disabled relatives. That includes some of the one million children in the UK who have to help care for family members - giving them someone to talk to, centres to visit for support and grants to help make their lives a little easier.

If you can spare a couple of quid to support this great cause - and help motivate me to get round the course and not sack off to the pub after 9 miles - then please visit www.justgiving.com/luciemclean

According to a new survey by lastminute.com, Brits have got around £170million of foreign currency lying around their homes from holidays and other trips abroad.

Four out of ten people polled said they have up to £35 in Euros lying at the bottom of their sock drawer, whilst 11% revealed they had more than £35 worth of Euros.

The weakness in the US dollar against the pound means that fewer are hanging on to these – only 11% have up to $50 at home, while 14% have more than $50.

Almost 20% of those surveyed also collect other lesser used currencies such as the Moroccan Dirham and the Thai Baht as souvenirs of their trips.

John Bevan, Managing Director at lastminute.com UK said “This trend demonstrates that Britons are taking more trips per year than ever before. It is indeed more convenient and better value to keep foreign currencies for forthcoming trips.

“The fact that 11% keep more than 50 euros and that 14% have more than $50 at home is a proof of this, a few years ago when people came back from trips abroad with a fairly large sum of money they would rush to the foreign exchange to get pounds back, now they don’t.”
