January has been long regarded as the darkest of months, but a formula from a part-time tutor at Cardiff University shows it gets even worse this Monday.
Foul weather, debt, fading Christmas memories, failed resolutions and a lack of motivation conspire to depress, Cliff Arnalls found.
also:
The formula for the day of misery reads 1/8W+(D-d) 3/8xTQ MxNA.
Where W is weather, D is debt - minus the money (d) due on January's pay day - and T is the time since Christmas.
Q is the period since the failure to quit a bad habit, M stands for general motivational levels and NA is the need to take action and do something about it.

I can honestly say I'm fine. Spring is almost upon us - I know this because I saw some pigeons getting jiggy in my back garden yeasterday.
Well alright they were just chasing each other but
you could see what they were up to!

Nope! I haven't been paid for 6 weeks...we get paid early to help out with extra money for Christmas which is helpful I suppose but then we don't get anything for AGES! Get paid tomorrow though!
