Which Weekday Has Quit Smoking Powers?

Monday, Monday...Monday. How I hate that 6 letter word. See if you had said Friday then things would be different, very different indeed. You see Friday is a happy day, its the start of the weekend which is full of possibilities from hanging around with friends, having parties and generally relaxing. But Monday likes to spoil the party, it loves to come barging in and takes no prisoners. I swear every Monday morning when I finally win the battle with my eye lids in order to keep them open, drag myself out of bed and look outside it is usually bleak, dark and generally miserable. Even the usual chirpy birds that can be heard singing from the bottom of their tiny lungs on a Monday sound like they can’t be bothered.

But does it really have to be so bad? Well it appears not; new research suggests that Mondays do have a positive quality, with many people seeing it as a clean slate and the start of a new chapter.
