Who Is Going To Get The "January Blues"???

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Its traditionally the done thing Guys and no-one would blame you if you did have them....

Now listen you lily-livered lot,don't give me that "I feel flat" after the festivities nonsense..its a New Year>:D<

ENJOY!..and be very,very grateful:)-D

[SeanMacGabhann]

Amen to that, Tone!

:)-D

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Thanks Sean!

Have a good one M8>:D<

Not me....one of my EDF resolutions is not to be so resolutely gloomy about the economy and also to be nicer to that lot from White Hart Lane.....but not 'Wall Tony ;-)

[PeckhamRose]

Me and Mr Rose have half a job between us and that is my job.

However, due to this forum Mr Rose is now getting a few good quality odd jobs so that things are ticking along a little.

And I am training for another part time career in May.

Soooo I will try not get the January blues because at least we don't have a mortgage and there are a lot of people worse off.

Still, bloody cold though!

[SeanMacGabhann]

And there was me thinking one of your '09 resolutions was to not just SAY you were coming to a drinks quids...

One of my 08 resolutions was to not get quite so gut-churningly upset, just because of what 11 fellas in red and white do on a football pitch. Fortunately for me I largely managed that, because those fellas in red and white went on to be even more dissapointing this year. But the main reason to not get so gut-churningly upset was, quite apart from my own sanity, it didn't seem fair to inflict it on Lady Mac.

So there it is. "Not getting upset makes other people happy" shocker.

I never get post-xmas depression... we're now in ski season, my favorite time of year!

When will you be on the piste Jeremy?:)

I quite like that "clean sheet of paper" feeling that comes with the new year, always seems full of promise.

And I didn't go quite so loopy on presents and in the sales that I am going to get that "broke till pay day feeling" that normally makes January drag.

If I get down it's more usually February that does it to me - combination of the reminder of singledom that is valentines day - no matter how crap and commericialized it is, still feels worse being single than not. Plus it's another month of long nights and coldness on top of November, December, January etc.

But in addition to my week of skiing in Jan, I have a long weekend of skiing at the start of Feb to look forward to, and a day course in perfumery at the end of the month which I have wanted to do for many years, plus other things planned, so I am actually quite looking forward to it this year :-).

[Keef]

Only reason I find it a bit depressing is because I will have no money for a couple of weeks. It does however promise to be a great new year, and I am excited about 2009.

Gah! My little boy starts nursery in early Jan and we are terrified! January Blues here we come!

Ratty:You are allowed as an exceptional case due to the sad demise of your beloved Portsmouth F.C.(January "Blues" indeed!):))

Afraid I don't really subscribe to all that stuff... the calendar always seems pretty arbitrary to me. There's no good reason tomorrow should be the first day of the year rather than any other.

Yep, I usually do a week as well as a long weekend too! Need to get in as much skiing as possible, otherwise I'm desperate to go again by May or June.

Oh, I know it's quite arbitary. But since it makes me happy to think of it that way I'm not planning on stopping!

[boosboss]

WooHoo! January means there's just one month left until the month I go on holiday in :))

[Jah Lush]

January blues? Are you fecking mad? I'm always glad that Christmas is over and we can all get back to normal (whatever that is) and step into a new year with a positive attitude. But, then I guess that's just me being an eternal optimist. Happy New Year everyone.

[Kells]

I refuse to this year. So that's simple enough then! Happy New Year to you all :)-D

[Bellenden Belle]

I can't wait for January! Ever the optimist, I think each year is going to be marvellous and indeed that each year I shall grow a tad more fabulous.

I usually run out of steam in June but pick up again in October for my birthday which is pretty good going I reckon...

Have a great 2009 everyone!

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Men think about the fact that you beat out about five hundred MILLION other sperm-racers to get to the egg first.

So as we are sooooo lucky to be here then lets make the most of it>:D<

Happy and Healthy New Year To One And All:)-D

I've got too much going on to get blue - am starting course which will extend what I do at work and into the final leg of wedding preparations - not got time to feel down at the mo - think it'll strike mid April!!

[Moos]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Jah and Belle - bless you for being the charming glass-half-full people that you are. Good on you.

Best of luck to all the people who know they have Big Things coming in 2009 (buggie, Keef....) and also to those of us for whom any Big Things will be a surprise...

Tony, don't be a twerp, it isn't only men who are only here because their particular sperm hit home one day. (hits upside the head, but in a friendly, ringing-in-the-new-year kind of way).

Look forward to Quids' new stance promoting the great business opportunities in ED that 2009 will bring.. :-)

May we all grow a little in 2009, and not just in our waistlines.
