New evidence shows that handling cash has the same effects on the body and mind as taking Ibroprofen or Aspirin!
Researchers at the University of Minnesota carried out a series of studies which revealed those who counted money before taking part in an experiment where they were subjected to low levels of pain felt less discomfort than those who did not.
It is thought that fondling notes and coins helps ward off pain by boosting feelings of self-worth and self-sufficiency. Whoever said money can’t buy you happiness? We’re off to roll around in a bed full of twenty pound notes!

With the Oscars and A list celebrities taking centre stage this month London field marketing agency The Factory Live says to all you field marketing staff, why not enjoy some glamour in your own home with some ideas on hosting your own Oscar Party.
1. OUTFITS: Arguably the most important part of any party is the outfit whether it fancy dress or a LBD affair, clothing will define the event. Look at the nominations….AVATAR, a fantasy theme is glamorous and easy to prepare. A colour theme works well and a blue dress code will suit all ages and sexes.
2. FOOD: Inglorious Bastards, a German food theme is a good for a finger buffet or why not try a full feast for The Young Victoria. Check out this website for fantastic German foods: http://www.worldfamousrecipes.com/german-recipes.html
3. DECORATIONS: Ballloooooonsss and lots of them, Up, is a hugely entertaining family film and deserves an award, why not celebrate this filling a room full of multicoloured balloons!!!
4. BEVERAGES: It wouldn’t be a party without a few cocktails, and with such an epic list of celebrities you can create hundreds of drinks. Keeping to a simple a recipe such as a Manhattan and naming it after a celeb works a treat.
5. RED CARPET: It’s all about the guests, don’t worry if you don’t know any real celebs, your mates make the best A-Listers, although a good lookalike will really cause a stir!
6. AWARDS: Most of your friends will have some special quality or talent – so be imaginative and create personal awards for all your invitees! I can guarantee a fun and memorable evening.
