Januworry, the month with 60 days

I always try not to think beyond the end of the year because if I do, the dreaded reality will kick in.

I have learnt huge lessons during the past few years.Now, 2025 is done and dusted, the mood of partying has died a sudden death and your bank account makes you weep.

You have officially entered the longest period of penny-pinching that returns like clockwork each year.

January should not be called a month. It should be deemed a social experiment designed to test human endurance, patience and willpower.

While most months politely pass in 30 or 31 days, January stretches itself to a solid 60, sometimes 70, depending on how often you check the calendar.
