[UrsulaMumsnet]

Defy Blue Monday by sharing the secrets to your happiness for a chance to win a copy of Lucy Diamond's new novel The Secrets of Happiness plus a fabulous Sheer Bliss Pamper Hamper

What is the secret of happiness? Family? Love? Endless chocolate? Stepsisters Rachel and Becca certainly aren’t experts. They've never been close and seem to live perfectly opposite lives - Rachel has the house, husband and kids, while Becca lurches from one dead-end job and bad date to another. But when Rachel doesn't come home one night, Becca realises that her life isn't as perfect as she'd thought, and when the two stepsisters are thrown together, they discover that happiness, like love, can hide in the least likely of places.

Lucy Diamond is the bestselling author of Summer at Shell Cottage. You can find her on Twitter and Facebook.

This discussion is sponsored by Pan Macmillan and will end on 15 February. We will post the winner on the thread on that date.

Relaxing with my family!

My daughter's of course are my happiness, spending time with them, being proud of what good girls they are. Happiness is also getting lost in a good book and living someone else's life for a little while (I love romance!)

Don't worry about what others have, appreciate what you have

my grandchildren, they are amazing and love them to bits

Family. Husband & daughter & the sun shining

Watching the birds in my garden.

my family, a family dvd and a box of maltesers!

Quality time with my family - away from it all, lazy morning breakfast/brunch, a bracing walk on the coastal path, good old fashioned fun playing on a beach finished off with fish n chips. Oh, and a large glass of wine when they're tucked up in bed and sleeping soundly from all that fresh air!

my cats & my pony & a good book.

Love yourself so what if you a few pounds overweight the true love is the feel good x factor xx

Fun with the kids... And wine lol

The secret of happiness is to cut out the worry.

'Got a problem and there's nothing you can do about it?' then why worry. There's nothing you can do about it. Let it take it's course.

'Got a problem and there's something you can do about it?' then why worry. There's something you can do about it. Do it.

When your kids just want a hug or snuggle in to go to sleep

Children all sound asleep in their beds and having some quality time with the OH after a very busy day

My wonderful family and chocolates always

Happiness is knowing my family is there if I need them, and when they aren't I have a good book to read while I chill out.

A really good laugh with people you really love. A great day out. And personally for me my daughter.

CHOCOLATE WITH A GOOD BOOK AND SEEING YOUR CHILDREN SMILE.

Don't worry about what other people think!

Happiness is relishing what you have already and not craving the unattainable.

Learning to accept and love myself, quirks and all! It's something I'm always working on, I've always had a tendency to be hard on myself. But learning to be happy in my own skin is something I think is super important!

To be grateful for what you've got.Not wanting what you haven't got.

A relaxed mind is key to happiness for me.

Each morning, look yourself in the mirror and say 'I don't care what the world thinks'. You do this every morning and it boosts your feeling of self worth - I used to be a real people pleaser! I am still kind to people but am starting to change what 'strangers' think - they're probably not thinking about me anyway! :-)

just be happy for what you've got
