    Lots of people have been mentioning The Secret on various threads on here lately and I have been tempted to buy a copy, I definately think that by asking the 'universe' for help you get a little helping hand, just not always in the way you imagined.

    I have recently ordered a copy of the Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama, also recommended on here, which helps with positive thinking etc, hoping it might get delivered today!

    I'm not crazy either I promise, just nice to stretch your mind sometimes!

  • Morning! Thanks for posting the summary happy, it's nice to kow the background before you post, though I will sit down and have a proper read.

    Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway is quite a good book too, think it mentions being grateful and giving 100% committment to what you're doing. I liked it anyway! Might look into the secret too. had an expensive day yesterday, won't be increasing debt though as there is money in this month's budget for it.

    That would have really wound me up as well Happy, especially when they don't just admit they screwed up and try and worm their way out if it instead. MEN!
