    Aww thanks guys. The silly thing is that what I want has nothing to d with the situation i'm in at the moment.

    And Lulu I didn't just ask yesterday I was thinking about asking a couple of months ago and that's the same thing isn't it

    You're all right, maybe I just have to be more patient but it's so bloody hard. I will though, patience is my middle name - right after impatience!

    And i'll keep recycling!

    Fingers crossed

    You'll be fine, I know it. I thought I must have pulled lots of wings of flies in a previous life or something, I know that feeling too.
    Nothing will just end up in your lap, at the end of the day it will be your hard work that gts you what you want. You might as well plaster a grin over your face while you do it!

    thinking is the same as asking - the minute you put the thought into your head, you're putting it out to the universe

    All will be ok. Life can be summed up by "The Wheel of Fortune" tarot card.

    What goes up must come down - we all know and understand this, yet when we are down, feeling low or unhappy, it can be so hard to believe life will ever get better!

    Sometimes we experience good luck and good fortune unexpectedly, and when we do, oh how joyful and exciting it is! Getting a phone call out of the blue from the person
    you?ve fancied for ages asking you out on a date, winning some money, getting an unexpected promotion and pay rise at work, friends and family throwing you a surprise party ? all these experiences or surprises make us feel on top of the world.

    Conversely, when you hear through a friend that your lover is seeing someone else, your bank surprisingly turns down your request for a loan, your boss unexpectedly announces you?re going to be laid off or you lose a loved one ? these experiences and shocks can leave us emotionally devastated, feeling as though the world is somehow against us.

    The Wheel of Fortune represents such unexpected turns of fate and fortune. Sometimes the wheel will turn in your favour and bring unexpected good luck and fortune, sometimes it will turn against you and you will experience bad luck
    and misfortune. However, the wheel suggests that these turns of fortune are beyond your control, they are part of the eternal movement and cycle of life.

    When the Wheel of Fortune appears in your readings you can expect an unexpected change in your fortune ? so if you have been experiencing a run of bad luck or misfortune and the Wheel of Fortune lays in your near future, then the cards are suggesting that it won?t be long before fate will come into play and your luck will start to change.

    Conversely, in the situation where the Wheel of Fortune is ahead and things have been going great for you up to now, read it as a warning that something unexpected may throw a spanner in the works and bring a challenging time.

    The appearance of this card in answer to a question about what you should do about something or someone, can suggest that, whatever you do, fate will determine the outcome. However, if surrounding cards are negative, it could be a warning that making the wrong choice could backfire on you.

    Life has its ups and downs, and understanding and accepting this helps us to hold a more realistic view of life itself. Remember that the wheel turns up, just as surely as it turns down ... it?s just the eternal and constant rhythm and cycle of life.

    Thanks for posting that Schaz, that makes sense. It's hard to really look at your life and whether it's going well or not. Honestly i'm really lucky about a lot of things, I have my health as do my kids and I live in a country like Australia! It could be a lot worse. My bad luck oculd be someone else good fortune so who knows really...

    I'm just going to keep hoping and wishing

    The other thing I thought of when reading your post was that although you are asking the question, it may not necessarily be for your highest good at this stage ie its not the right time, or its not the right answer, and things are working in the background to create something better.

    An example: two years ago we were living in a rental property with cheap rent, had almost paid off a personal loan, and things were looking up. I thought 'yes, things are working the way I want them to.'

    Then circumstances changed completely. However after much angst we are now renting a better house (with air conditioning thank goodness), we spent our money on IVF, and although we didn't get the results we wanted we now have an answer to work with.

    On bad days I am the same as you - and have a bit of a sooky la la as Lulu so aptly put it.

    But on good days I think "I have put the thought out there, now I have to wait and see how it manifests, rather than forcing it to my own will."

    Here is a song that helps me in times like this (especially when questioning the Universe):

    Whenever life get you down, Mrs. Brown,
    And things seem hard or tough.
    And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
    And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff!
    Just - re-member that you're standing on a planet that's revolving:
    Revolving at 900 miles an hour,
    It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
    the sun that is the source of all our power.
    The Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
    are moving at a million miles a day,
    In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
    of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.
    Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars,
    it's 100,000 light-years side-to-side,
    It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick,
    but out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide.
    We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point,
    we go round every 200 million years,
    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
    in this amazing and expanding universe.
    The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
    in all of the directions it can whizz,
    As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know,
    twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
    So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
    how amazingly unlikely is your birth,
    And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
    because there's bugger all down here on Earth

    (Some of the figures have been simplified... for example, we go round the galaxy approximately every 180 million years, not 200 million years, but it's not a bad approximation.)

    thats so true ans another reason to feel lucky I suppose.

    Gargy, I suppose thats a good way of looking at things. I just get so frustrated. I just the the opertunity to begin something, then I can either make it work or not but I just want a chance!!

    Hey, you were given a chance - you were born whole and healthy.

    You still have the defeatist attitude - "i just want a chance", you can't wait for an opportunity to fall in your lap - go and MAKE IT HAPPEN.

    I just don't believe that putting positive thoughts out there is enough, you need positive MOTION on your behalf to start attracting it to you.
