    Finding the ITV adverts difficult in my emotionally fragile state.

    One minute its dogs in pain and the next minute it's long descriptions about african kids with eye infections.

    I'll have no money left soon!

    Harden your heart and remember you need that money for the next session which is far more important.

    Where shall we go this year? Has there been a bloody coup and ethnic cleansing in Morroco? No, let's go!

    There's far better charities to give money to than those who spend their income on tv adverts and central London offices for their 1000 admin staff.

    I have joined the cat lottery though.

    Looks like Sagan and Matthews are going to still be there for the finish unless things get harder in the peloton.
