Eating later might work, although I'd have to try to move my lunch as well I think - I tend to eat that comparitively early so get hungry correspondingly early. What I tend to find is that after I finish dinner I'll think "oh, I'll just have a bakewell for dessert" and that's where it starts.

Actually, something that I hadn't thought about until I said that was that Alex and I eat our dinner on the sofa in the living room. I wonder if moving that to the dining room would help me to have a clearer distinction between eating time and the rest of the evening.

I see Bethan can't come this evening. Do you want to meet up for a quick one anyway?
