I started the day off by de-christmasing the house. It is a bit sad really the living room looks so bare now but its good to get back to reality I guess. For the last week and a half I have been living in that strange period of time where you don’t know what day it is, before you can blink it is 3pm and you don’t know what you have done with the morning. I have over indulged during the Christmas period and the last few days of eating normal food has been lovely.
Once I had took all the decorations down it was too late for breakfast and too early for lunch so I had a quick rummage in the fridge.
I love a wrap, I have probably mentioned this before. Its because you can literally throw anything in them and you have a meal. Left over beans in you pop, a rogue potato sitting on the fridge shelf, yes why not put that in too, some Mexican rice from the cupboard, sure!
