The post-holiday glow lasts just four-and-a-half days after returning home.<br /><br />A poll of 2,000 travellers found 22 per cent feel a sense of happiness when they arrive through their front door.<br /><br />And more than a third (36 per cent) admit things which annoyed them prior to their trip - no longer bother them.<br /><br />However, 68 per cent revealed this feeling soon fades when faced with the prospect of household chores, going back to work, and having to cook dinner again.<br /><br />Cooking is a particular frustration for 19 per cent - who claim this is the chore they hate most having been spoiled with a host of culinary delights during their getaway.<br /><br />The study was commissioned by Dr. Oetker Ristorante [https://www.oetker.co.uk/pizza-ristorante-coupon], which cheered-up returning holidaymakers at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, by loading baggage carousels with freezer bags of frozen pizza - to save them doing a food shop on the drive home.<br /><br />This comes after the research found 24 per cent dislike having to buy groceries on the way back from their holiday.<br /><br />Laura Robinson, spokesperson for Dr. Oetker Ristorante, said: "The worst thing about holidays is they have to come to an end - and once they do, reality soon hits.<br /><br />“Unpacking, tidying the house, coming home to an empty fridge - none of these things are appealing prospects.<br /><br />“Which is why we wanted to bring a taste of Italian sunshine to the arrivals hall this half term and help holidaymakers to prolong their holiday with our delicious Italian-inspired pizzas waiting for them when they landed.”<br /><br />The survey, carried out through OnePoll, also identified the things those polled miss most when they return home from a holiday.<br /><br />More than a quarter (26 per cent) admit they long to have someone to cook for them again like they did when they were enjoying their vacation.<br /><br />While 26 per cent miss the sunny weather and 21 per cent miss the sense of inner peace they developed during their getaway.
