Daughters birthday this weekend. Without you, dear forum buddies, I'd be thinking about giving up for the day....that would lead to another day off as it's Sunday and then give up on the bank holiday Monday too. Most of us know what will happen then!
But I'll be making cheesecake today. That will sit nicely next to the birthday cake. Walking up the hill too, will post a pic one day and you'll see it's no mean feat.
Have you got any other top tips for distraction or foody ideas?
(And I know I post a lot, it stops me thinking and eating food....and I like your company!)

One tip - I don't know if you've got into herbal teas (yet!) but they're proving a real lifesaver for me. I've started making myself a herbal tea, or even a normal tea, even if I don't desperately fancy one, esp if there are potential temptations around me, as then I will just drink it and it stops me being tempted to snack. Maybe putting the kettle on a few times during the party will help distract others among the adult attendees from overindulging too and then if people are generally eating less cake there will be less social pressure for you to have too much too. Good luck with the cheesecake. Will you be making Shellie's recipe?
Did you mean fennel. Lol spell cheeeeeeeekers. If not where do you get them from? Sounds risky
Hey hun, post away - love reading regular posts from others. Have you tried my recipe for samosas on a past post? They make ideal party food too, are filling without the calories and look good on a buffet table. Have a lovely Sunday for your daughters birthday, rack up wonderful memories without guilt - whatever you choose to eat. 😊
The last social occasion I was at I made myself really listen to people and ask questions.
Getting involved and interested in others and finding out things about people you never knew before can often distract you from the food and drinks around you
I had all day Thursday and Friday morning before going back to work and I reckon I achieved less in that day and a half that I was achieving every morning before work! lol
Went to the dentist, movies, had lunch with a friend and suddenly it was time to get back to work.
After 4 weeks of intense diet and exercise and immersion in a new healthy lifestyle I think I just needed a couple days off but I plan to go Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Not avoiding just taking a breath but I like that you asked
