Clues:
It has small white flowers when it blooms.
It likes water, and grows overnight when it has some!!!
I'm beginning to seriously doubt it is a succulent.
The leaves are thick and waxy feeling, but not overly.
I stuck 3 leaves in the soil and they are producing side growth after 2 weeks!
Check out those scalloped leaf edges!
I LOVE this plant. It is a serious love. When I wake up in the morning it has had obvious growth overnight and it amazes me every morning! WOW! I cannot wait to take more cuttings and get a massive plant out of it, and when it blooms it is a showstopper! So delicate and sweet. I'm just waiting!

It looks like Plectranthus verticillatus - common name of Swedish Ivy. To be absolutely sure, are the stems square? If so, that's it... quickly roots from cuttings, makes wonderful hanging baskets. There are variagated and purple varieties available. Most definitely not a succulent, it's in the Lamiaceae family, which means it's a relative of the mints.
Plectranthus nummularius (Swedish ivy)?
It looks like a Swedish Ivy plant to me. I had one years ago. It was a wonderful plant. I don't know the botanical name for it.
Kalanchoe. (spelling)
I love plants that grow fast-Hope you find out what it is-Claude where are you????
I've seen this plant before and I should know the name of it but I don't, sorry.
Thats a Kalanchoe
Julie have a look here:
Plectranthus verticillatus
It looks like Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, and the description of the severed leaves sprouting would fit.
Thankyou all for your ideas! I will wait for a bloom and re-post at that time as well.
Looks like it's narrowed down to two choices by the comments so far. I'll be watching to see what the blooms look like too.

I've had it before but don't know the name. It's a fleshy leaf, right?
Vickie- yes...it is a fleshy leaf!
I think it is a kalanchoe......
