OK - this is maybe a daft question, forgive me, but if you are using a presta valve have you loosened the small nut type thing on the end of the valve? Also (another daft question) have you checked whether you are using the correct presta or schraeder fitments for the presta or schraeder valves?

What you need is a track pump. Edinburgh Coop do one for around 20 quid or so I think, but there are loads of others around. Worth every penny. Use the mini pump as an emergency back up on the road when you puncture.
