Yes, your second to last Bank Holiday is OVER and with it comes the usual moans and groans once the realisation kicks in that you have to work solidly until Santa comes. These complaints are especially bad if you're in a relationship. Here are just a few you will recognise if you have a partner to contend with during this period of grief...

You both wonder how you are able to cope- With just two days off at the end of every other week, not three.
You both moan incessantly about the fact that the next public holiday is all the way in December- And you have no more long weekends to look forward to until then. That's a whole three, nope, nearly four months away!
You start to plan Christmas to make yourselves feel better- You are both going to make the most of your next holiday so you plan it down to the last letter.
You talk about how much quicker three days goes as opposed to two- You are both convinced time speeds up when you've given an extra day off and your employers are just trying to fool you with their so called 'perks'.
You both crawl out of bed on the first day of work- Your body clocks are totally messed up after ANOTHER lie in so getting up to an alarm is devastating.
The double hit is unavoidable- Game of Thrones drew to a close just as the Bank Holiday did and fun has officially been cancelled till the man in the red suit comes knocking.
You both keep uttering those words- Only 4 days left. Only 4 days left. Only 4 days left- until they have no meaning and all you can think is 'it's still four days'- why not three or two, or one or even the weekend?
You wish you hadn't drunk so much- You blame each other for the amount of alcohol consumed, which results in you wasting your time off for the sake of hangover/duvet days.
You wish you hadn't eaten so much- You both list all of the take out and convenience things that you put in your mouth over the three days and it's enough to feed a small family. You feel ashamed, bloated and a little sick but it was totally worth the not having to cook part.
You swear to each other that you will do something more worthwhile with your next August bank holiday- You have a whole year to think of something that doesn't involve getting drunk or eating your weight in crisps. But you both secretly know that you will end up doing exactly the same when the next one rolls along.
