I have a cunning plan to avoid feeling depressed this BLUE MONDAY - January 20th (the third Monday in January). Perhaps you do too?

Tomorrow is January 19th and I shall celebrate it again the following day! Simple.

What will you be doing on Monday to avoid feeling depressed? Please keep it clean.

    I will be meeting up with some family members and having a meal. We decided Blue Monday was a good day to do this.

    But surely we will all be too busy dancing in the streets?

    Bluebell, that's a great plan to beat the January blues 😍

    Ranald, we surely will be! 🎵

    I've heard we'll have some weather too . Another reason to brighten up and not get depressed on Blue Monday.

    I thought you were referring to the inauguration on Monday! A source of unbridled joy, or not…

    I wasn't aware that Blue Monday was a thing. I had thought you were being humorous about the US inauguration on Monday, with you know who returning.

    Well in that case I shall most certainly not be dancing In the streets. Not when the music is being provided by The Village People (Jedward are washing their hair and regretfully had to decline).

    Oh yeh, and Miley Cyrus' old man!

    Who did Biden have? Oh yes, Lady Ga Ga and Garth Brooks; actual stars. Tells me all I need to know.

    You won't need to watch them, because the 'bigliest' crowd in history will be in attendance…

    I'm planning a second day of serenity without radio or TV interference (EastEnders excepted tonight obv)

    The forum has been quiet so I trust nobody is feeling unduly depressed this Blue Monday.

    Apart from the fact that blue Monday is a a marketing ploy, supposedly to allow a 'term' for travel companies to launch the 'Must have Holiday' adverts. Supposedly :)

    My Monday was just like every other day.. In fact, other than my routine treatment, I can't even remember if I left the house…
