Blue Monday?

According to a lot of the press & social media today is "Blue Monday". Supposedly the most depressing day of the year, it used to be the last Monday of January but has gradually crept earlier year by year, possibly due to *journalists* having nothing better to write about!

The phrase was apparently coined several years ago by a holiday company trying to encourage sales to cheer ourselves up.

However, as someone who has been diagnosed with clinical depression (though currently sort of winning the battle!) I find the theory of failing New Year's Resolutions & the end of the festive season making people "depressed" quite daft.

Anyway, my Mondays are usually blue! At work we have blue ledger files, our bank have blue statement folders...even my calculator is blue!
