The 8 emotions of the first payday after Christmas

We’ve been waiting, such a long time….

THIS WEEK BROUGHT much needed relief into many bank accounts, as the first post-Christmas payday finally arrived.

As if January isn’t bad enough what with all the Janxiety and Jannui, waiting for that much needed cash is an emotional rollercoaster…

There’s the realisation

Wondering why I'm so desperately wishing it was pay day again...then I realised I got paid before Christmas and it's had to last longer. 😒

Judging by the smell in the ladies' loo, someone's surviving on a diet of curried war, pestilence and beans in the run up to pay day.
