      My youngest is Noah Solomon something or other. I chose my daughter's name so my Mrs MUN chose this one - I will apologise to him when he is older ... maybe I should also teach him to box.

          We had a dog called Cookie. Short for Cruachan.

              BBC News - A Point of View: The pursuit of happiness

              William Morris told us: "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful"

                $64K question this one.

                Dont think money even comes remotely close to any of it. Being happy is tough. I would say tougher for us contractors than most.
                Like I said ignoring the money aspect.

                Speaking as a right miserable git. Especially today.

                  As I frequently remind the wife 'You chose me' this tends to remind her as she never makes mistakes I must be wonderful, or where the rolling pin is.

                    On somebody else's recommendation I've just started reading "Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies" Sure it will be the solution to everything.

                      Never been a fan of CBT.

                      Having had issues in the past and done loads of this (Dont take the piss - believe me its a serious matter).
                      All seems a bit too simplistic to me. Like do this, do that, light bulb comes on and all makes sense now and you're no longer down.

                      Either that or I just didnt try hard enough..
