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.

    Bluebell, that's a great plan to beat the January blues ๐Ÿ˜

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

    Ranald, we surely will be! ๐ŸŽต

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

    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 houseโ€ฆ
