happiness

[essex bloke]

According to the paper happiness is equal to �29 pounds something a day ....Thats for all the things that you buy/use that ensures your happiness .... so can you nice folks put a price on yours ??

You can't put a price on happiness, thats daft. Material things don't bring you true happiness, that comes with an inner peace.
They might make things in your life a little easier but im my opinion, and im sure im not alone, it runs a lot lot deeper than that!

Happiness is a state of mind not a bank statement, I have always been happy and I am no happier now I have a bit of money than before I had it, it just makes payong the bills easier.

Hello julie xx

Is there a different price for male and females?

Being female I don't think my happiness costs that much - I like the simple things in life like a bit of the Essex sunshine lol.

Who makes these things up? They must have hit rock bottom again on the actual news that we pay them to print.

happiness was picking my cat up from the vets and seeing she was ok, cost a damm site more than �29 but she's worth every penny

[someonesgirl]

happiness is waking up every moring and being kicked by the mini feet inside you where your growing a mini version of your gorgeous boyfriend and having cuddles before work!

Ahhh......

I have totted up a whole weekend of happiness

All day in bed Sat watching old re-runs of West Wing - Free
Large chicken kebab & chips for dinner - �7.80
Fry up sunday morning at caff - �6.50
afternoon nap in the garden - Free
Sh@g with Mr BN - Free

I make that �14.30 for a w'end of happiness and I have in theory saved myself �43.70, so I am frugle and happy at the same time :)

�120.

That'll cover the cost of 3 bottles of Laurent Perrier Ros�.

I'll probably need something to eat after drinking all that though. So allow an extra �10 for a fresh baguette and some Saint Agur cheese. Mmmm...

�130 a day for me then. :o)

don't forget some nice chocolate truffles to follow, Champagne. That's another 48p.

I'm happy today and so far I've spent nothing! I had a bath and then my two boys both got in with me - even though I said no - then we talked and splashed and laughed quite a lot, and planned our day. We're going to the park with a picnic and it's all free!!

When I'm with them, I'm happy, and although they'd happily spend any amount of money the papers could think of, they're happiest when we do the simplest of things. So we're all cheap and easy to please!!!!!!! xx

Most days I spend well under �10, and if I gave up Budweiser it would be a lot less. I cycle rather than drive, so minimal petrol costs. Day-to-day living is small in comparison to the standing financial committments like mortgage, council tax, kids.

[Champagne]

Where on earth can you buy nice chocolate truffles for 48p? Do you live in Yorkshire or something? Everything is cheaper up North. I live in the South-East so you can treble that cost, then quadruple it.

[jno]

I think a Thornton's champagne truffle used to be about 48p, though I daresay I'm out of date

[leelapops]

nutgone-I HAD heard that rumour ;) haha. Well, in all honesty, I live pretty simply (simple mind, simple life, before anyone else says anything!)

Don't go out lots, have a wonderful partner and a v. special dog. If I had to put a price on my happiness, it would be the knowledge that my dog is safe and happy.

What a great question, essex bloke! How about you?
