I have been a proper grumpy puss since I went back to work following the lovely holiday. I don't know whether its the weather, pmt, the lack of nicotine in my system or going cold turkey from the Quality Street and red wine but I am fed up :(

What do you do to cheer yourself up and banish the blues?

I just growl at work and generally abuse any Sheffield Wendy fans.

There again I do that all the time, not just after Xmas.

1) You go shopping & then have coffee & buns

2) Clean everything & then have coffee & buns

3) You have a pampery evening with favourite smelly stuff (not bathbombs in the shower though)
& then have coffee & buns

4) You watch all your favourite films (at the same time as having coffee & buns)

5) You have too many vodka blings/killer punch (with friends) & then have coffee & malteser cake at 3am (also with friends )

:D

I find that " glad it's all over " is a real help.!

I've booked all this week off work and am spending some quality time with my missus.

In-between posting on SF, of course.

I've been feeling this way too... very down with no real reasons as to why... I thought i was the odd one...

I did put it down to the festive season... having to get back to the ole routine etc... its horrible :( I think its worse tho when you get almost a month off... I finished on the 10-12-04 an didnt go back till 07-01-05 its a long time...

I didn't have any post holiday blues, Christmas was so dull this year I was glad to get back.

Perhaps you're all sufering from SAD- never know it's on the increase apparently. Acute depression caused by lack of daylight.

I like that idea - you put it in your coffee & have buns with it, yes ? :D
