Thank you to everyone, I really feel glad to have had input from you all, We didn't do York due to weather so went exploring, had our picnic (funny when DH was looking for his packet of crisps). Had message to call to DS for presents and cake!!, took advise from here, thought it better to graciously accept cake and will start cake free again tomorrow. Also had a McFlurry icecream, well it did turn very hot and DH said, what, no ice-cream, but its your birthday and the sun is shining, so I relented. Had lovely visit to Son and family, BUT (you know what I am going to say don't you?....ANOTHER BOX OF CHOCOLATES!! They will be hidden (perhaps the loft - I dont go up there) and I suggested they keep rest of cake to enjoy themselves this evening, they didn't need much persuasion-they have my genes lol. Thanks again everyone, its been fabulous to hear from such lovely people x
