It's Blue Monday today cry:
Psychologists have dubbed it "Blue Monday", a date in January when post-Christmas gloom is at its worst.
It is worked out with a formula taking into account six factors: weather, debt, time since Christmas, time since failing our New Year's resolutions, low motivational levels and the feeling of a need to take action.
Anyone got any reasons to be cheerful?

My smallest is 8 today ~ we had his outing yesterday. 6 boys bowling + a separate comp for the mummies who came. I had to referee both whistle:. Since I used to work in a bowling alley and none of the mummies had ever done ten pin bowling I was forced to give some yummy mummies personal tuition eyes:
Then we adjourned to Frankie and Bennies for nosh. Everyone had a jolly good feed, voted it far better than the usual Pizza Hut or McDonald's and I only spent £160 on the whole thing.
Today the little chap has been playing happilly with some very noisy electronic toys but they have now settled down to watch Spiderman2 on DVD (sorry not Bluray) and I can at last get on with the magazine which I have to get to the printer by Wednesday afternoon.
So not Blue Monday for me. Quite a good day really.

But your groping and stuff was yesterday rubschin:

Particularly since F&B's turned out to be soooooooooooooo good and one Yummy Mummy kept grinding her arse into my lap. I discovered that there is life in the old (hot) dog yet.

She did that while you were eating!? Were they short of chairs?

No ~ whilst I was standing behind her with my arms round her showing her how to hold a bowling ball and bowl it without hurting her sweet little fingers. cloud9:
I confess that at the fourth attempt to get it right SWWLTBO did catch my eye and raise her eyebrows in a fierce manner. whistle:

Even more likely if it snows.

True, we can all tell ourselves these things when we're down but really believing them is another thing altogether.

I think the "Blue Monday" thing may be true though, becuase I am in a right royal downer sad24:

That may not be unconnected with your recent illness ~ when I had a similar sounding bug that went on and on (several years ago now) it took weeks to get over the moods that followed. Went to the Doc in the end and he said it was all down to having had the "winter bug".

Thanks Snoops. There's alwayws a sensible Beragle about when you need one cloud9:

Also worth remembering that if you've been on antibiotics they are a depressant too.

I refuse to take antibiotics, so it's not that. Medicine comes in a pint glass...

What's a beragle?

Sounds like an under-groomed beagle.

Today is a complete and utter despondant bloody day. It is only 9 o'clock cry:

It's only 8.53 here. Have you moved to a different time zone?

I think they, like medicine, come in pint glasses.

According to my work clock which is always set faster for going home purposes

Don't you have it set slow in the mornings for 'not getting in late' purposes?

Have to go and visit my friend in the hospice today - went last week and she was fairly coherent , but told today her death is imminent.
She has fought long and hard against her battle with cancer but she is still comparitively young.
Her husband is Australain and all is family are over there - hence he has leaned on us quite a lot. To see others in such pain ,physically and emotionally is so bloody hard.
When I am God I am going to change this world
-
That is sad ~ I'm truly very sorry for taking the P.
May you have the strength to endure and may your friend find peace.
-
Oh Snoops - don't worry about taking the P - it's often the only way to cope lol:
-
Horrible for you MD. Been there many years ago when my bessy mate aged 34 succumbed to it.
Still make my head reel thinking about it to this day.
Take care and try keeping your chin up chick.
-
Oh Miss D! That is awful, seeing that disease up close is horrific. happy100

Horrid. A mate of mine was in a hospice with a few days to live. She was 40. When I went to leave she got really angry: 'You bastard, you can get in your car and drive away....' etc. She had to say it I suppose noooo:

I am sorry to hear about your friend. These things happen more frequently as you get older and you and your peers all start to wear out and succumb to the inevitable.
It never gets any easier though, no matter how many times you see it. noooo:

In one of my few genuinely serious moments - thank you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
