I hate last minute bidders! (AND THIS MONTHS CHALLENGE)

So the whole time i'm bidding on that DSLR on eBay i'm leading the way...carefully checking all the time to make sure i win my first DSLR...one minute to go i go into panic mode...click on the item and press refresh constantly....yes it's mine....37 seconds to go....yes it's mine.....20 seconds to go......oooh i can take some lovely pics at last......15 seconds to go....i can feel the buttons underneath my thumb....10 seconds to go...outbid by £5...OMG quickly bid again.......enter the amount...click on continue...quickly.....SORRY THIS AUCITON IS NOW CLOSED!

I won't swear but i was NOT a happy bunny last night and hacked at my roast pork like a woman possessed, oh well......will see what else comes along. Pete is home, hurray, nice lie in this morning. My copy of 'The Secret' arrived from Amazon on Friday morning although not had a chance to read further than the acknowledgements yet but i gather it's something about the laws of attraction, will have to start practicing thinking positive thoughts but i've never found that the easiest thing to do. Some say i'm a pessimist....i generally say i'm a realist but am willing to give 'The Secret' a go.

Right...for you that have read this far i'm going to tell you this months challenge....as we're talking secrets....WHAT'S YOUR SECRET TO A HAPPY LIFE? There you go, that's the challenge this month, a layout based on the secret to happiness. Details of prizes will be up MIDMONTH for you to drool at and please tell all to come and play with me (obviously not literally). Post a copy of your layout to terriefarrell@hotmail.co.uk ensuring it is less than 1MB. ALL entries will be displayed on the blog for the duration of next month and the winner will be announced on the 1st July. good luck everyone. Will leave you with a gorgeous piccie of my little Natasha after i wrestled her to the ground putting her hair in bunches.....for one of my kids she's possitively bald!

Just a thought, why don't you put up a slide of all the entries into your challenges so that those entering get to see their work with all the rest of the entries on your blog? I would love to see all the lo's but you don't put them anywhere :o(
