How to make Jan / Feb just that bit better...

[wholenutcadburys]

Hello,

I'm hoping to get some MN help.. I end up getting down during the colder months and wanting to avoid the likes of spending loads of £££ during these months, alongside me and my DP hoping to kick start a healthier lifestyle and lose weight.. what do you all do to avoid getting too down in the dumps at the weather, cold and darkness?

TIA!

I've started by throwing money at it, I'm afraid. So far I've booked a January might in a hotel, and theatre tickets in February. I hope to have something booked (cinema, meal, massage etc) at least every other weekend.

Cheaper things I hope to be doing are:
trying out a fee new vegan recipes
eating lots of porridge and healthy-ish pancakes with fruit
some nice winter salads
some walks with a flask and a vegan sausage roll!

Oh and M&S £1 daffs - everywhere!
