These pick-me-ups will give your spirits a lift!
January and February can be difficult months. The excitement and anticipation of December have disappeared, together with the lights and decorations. The cold weather is punctuated by dark mornings and evenings. After the expense of Christmas, you may be on a tight budget and feel as if you don’t have the means to enjoy yourself.
