Christmas has come and gone, the post Christmas diet started (and promptly ended!) and the credit card statements are waiting in the shadows to gobble up January’s wages – can it get any worse? Apparently yes. Brace yourselves for the 21st January.

Cardiff University’s Dr Arnall claims that a series of rather miserable factors such as the weather, debt, failed resolution attempts and deteriorating motivational levels combine to officially make 21st January the most depressing day of the year.

Not wanting to ride the waves of pessimism, here at the Glow-worm blog, we are on a mission to turn the most depressing day of the year into the cosiest night in of the year! Shut the front door, grab a hot chocolate, turn the heating up and get comfy – not depressing at all!

We would live to hear about your plans or ideas of how to make the 21st a cosy, happy day. Come on, let’s banish the January blues!
