Alarm clocks ringing across the UK this morning officially marked the end of the 2021/22 festive period.
After an indulgent few weeks of being draped across the couch and plundering tins of Quality Street, it’s back to the figurative office for many in the UK after the Christmas and New Year’s break and yesterday’s bank holiday.
Although some are raring to get back into a routine, not everyone is happy about it:

It seems some forgot a few basics about their job while they were off:

Sadly the next bank holiday isn’t until April but on the bright side, there are only another 355 days until next Christmas…
Thank goodness it's nearly Christmas. I feel like I need a break.— Jo Maugham (@Jo Maugham) 1641289831
We’ll start marking it off on our calendars.
