Supposedly, this is the most miserable grim and depressing day of the year, because it's so long to spring and summer, and the post Christmas blues have kicked in, it's ages til the next holiday, and people are skint after Christmas. Does anyone feel like poo today? because I actually feel pretty OK the sun is out, my bank balance is in the black (just,) because we cut right back at Christmas, and I don't feel terrible. Anyone feeling blue?

I'm in a rather grand mood meself! Been quite a lot to laugh at lately
No!
I suffer blues leading up to the so-called festive season. January is a great month for me! The whole year to come. Maybe I'm one of them incurable optimists though but.

Awww thats great Glad youre both feeling fab. Maybe the time of year is nothing to do with anything. I mean, I feel pretty OK right now, (even though its 'black monday') but last year, I felt low a lot in June and July. So its more about whats going on in your life i think, rather than what day or month of the year it is.
I'm counting the days till pay day.

I'd say so. But once you realise what's worth getting stressed about from what isn't it stops affecting your day. Some things are just not worthy of the head space, unless it's to point and laugh at

I usually feel sad at the end of new year, I hate taking down the decorations and feel all down. This year is the first year in as long as i can remember that I don't feel that. I haven't got that Jan slump i could still carry on in full xmas-like happy mode for ages
And then its birthday, valentines, anniversary, so there's stuff to look forward to. This year is unusual so im not feeling the black Monday.

Life is what you make it regardless of the weather, bank balance, other people's negative bilge..
Keep smiling

I've had the best day today. My mortgage has been approved so I should be in my house by the end of Feb and my daughter has just got a new job.
Oh and the money from the sale of the old house hit my bank account so that looks healthy too.

Thanks guys - it has been a helluva ride but hopefully there is now a light at the end of the tunnel
Excellent news, Issy.
This is the time you have to keep busy or book holiday if your feeling low or worse.
I've done both and feel fab.

Take it easy Ella
I feel pretty OK today. Many congrats on your new home Issy.
It's pretty shit for me. My benefits have been stopped because I have too much saved. My weekly income is now officially ÂĢ0.00! Don't think things can get too much worse than that!

Cheer up hon, just think that those poor bankers will be getting a nice fat bonus while you struggle...
But hopefully swinging from lamp posts come the revolution! Only joking!

No lamp posts are good.
Carnelian, that's shittier than shit :/ Really sorry to read that.
Carnelian, that is so shit, this is what really pee's me off with the benefit system, i keep getting mail for a couple down the road and i opened one of their letters by mistake (so i had a nosey and read the whole letter ) he was given full disability allowence cause he can't leave the house without assistance, yet he can come running up to my house a couple of times a week too see if i have any post for them and he was in front of me in the shop the other day buying some scratch cards, the poor soul must hae been in agony
Well today I have applied for housing and council tax benefit...It pisses me off big time.I worked from I was 17 'till 47 ..left my job due to medical reasons etc,| had shared tenancy with my brother until he died at the age of 52 four years ago.My niece(brothers girl) has now left home and moved into private housing with her fiance.I was interviewed today by a girl about 22 years old....my lip was curling...not at her,just the system.I had all; the paperwork I will be dully informed.
Now in front of me was a young Polish girl filling in the same housing benefit forms etc...however they offered her an interpreter if she was in difficulty etc...now something isn;t right..

Cheers, I'll post stuff tomorrow as to why I feel so aggrieved about the injustices of this nation and how this country structures its tax regime to screw the little man while leaving the fat-cat protected.
