How can I get over the winter blues?

It’s been grey and damp for so long, my spirits are low, I feel pale and sluggish, my job is good but the work is dull at the moment. I have no energy and feel low. I’m sure it is the winter blues but as I live in the UK there is no certainty the rubbish weather will end for months! What tips have you got for making life fun again?
Hi effie!
I live in Canada – where we have that going on for about five months! bleck. We have sunny days, sure – but not when it’s COLD outside. What you need is to get out, amongst people, even if it’s to the local library or the mall! Ever just felt so low and looked outside (like now) and told yourself, nothing’s going on.. It’s all the same…
Go out!
You’ll see happy people, smiling people, people enjoying themselves despite the weather – and you’ll realize you, too can feel that. You’ll see that there’s hope for you, too. If you have kids, get a babysitter! You need to be on your own, but amongst other cheery adults. Go buy yourself a drink, or lunch, a manicure, etc.
Heck, take the day OFF Work! 
Don’t feel guilty, laugh!
The cheeriness of people (even strangers, yes), is contagious.. trust me, I’ve been there, and glad I went out!
Try it please…
It’s worth it!
