I needed a few minutes pause halfway through my Christmas dinner. This is unusual and I was surprised but I've been eating less generally lately due to being busy/cba and not snacking anything like I normally do. Don't worry, I soon recovered and finished my veg but did give away my Yorkshire puddings to the dc. I just didn't fancy them which again is odd. I then managed a further 2 stuffing balls while chatting to my mum and finishing my wine. We were chatting about how we don't know how people can have a starter, main course, pudding, cheese and crackers etc all at one sitting. We don't even have meat although we did when I was a child.
Part of today may have been the fact I was co stay my on the go as mums often are and spending ages in the kitchen seems to decrease my appetite.
Breakfast: homemade cinnamon bun and two cups of tea
Second (more reasonable hour) breakfast: a fried potato sandwich
Christmas dinner: honey roast parsnips and carrots, roast potatoes, marrow fat peas, broccoli, cranberry sauce, stuffing balls x4 (or was it 5
) and a glass of wine

Baileys while watching Call the Midwife
About 5 chocolates, 2 chocolate biscuits, one after eight mint, 3 cheesy Doritos and a few glasses of water.
Oh and a mince pie.
