Love on Facebook Is Facebook good for your Love life? Read on to find the answer.

Your boyfriend doesn't write on your 'wall' one day. You're worried. Does it mean he doesn't like you? Another day, he sends you ten messages. You feel stressed. Does he like you too much?

Your friends know you have a new boyfriend because you change your status from 'single' to 'in a relationship'. The problem is they know when it finishes too, because you change it back to 'single' again.

Gardeners and florists are the happiest workersA new survey puts gardeners and fl orists at number one in the happiness league. But what makes them so happy? Nine out of ten gardeners and fl orists say they are happy in their jobs. That compares with four out of ten office workers. We asked them why.

‘I love my job! I spend all day in the open air, all year round,

seven days a week! I love watching the plants grow and

change from spring to summer to autumn.’ Dave, gardener, Brighton

Being in contact with nature and working outdoors are two very important things for gardeners. Florists’ jobs are a little different. They don’t work outdoors, they don’t grow the flowers, but they are just as happy!

‘I have a small fl ower shop in the town centre. I work fi ve days

a week and sometimes at weekends. I love every minute.

I love fl owers and I really like helping people decorate a hotel

or a restaurant or a special place for a special occasion.’ Chloe, florist, Edinburgh

So, if you want to be happy at work, get a job as a gardener or a florist!
