blank side box 2 - doesn't like £ sign in box? shows funny symbol

[DSCrossStitch]

Hello

please see my website www.dscrossstitchonline.co.uk

bottom right side box. installed from blank sidebox 2 module.

but when i put my html text and image links i have 2 problems.

1st / i have centered the text with text-align is the stylesheet but 1st image and text are still to the left. A problem with the stylesheet? anyone know where i should start?

2nd / i have a £ sign in my text but it has added a funny A symbol before each pound sign. Is there a way i can get rid of this?

i can copy and paste my code if that'd help?
