Stephanie on the ice cream front you might like to try my greek yogurt treat. I buy full fat greek yogurt. The brand is Fage and that works best

I just put it in a plastic dish and pop it is the freezer an hour before pudding-time. The outside goes crusty and crunchy and the inside is sort of marshmallowy and soft

but it really doesn't matter much depending on your step. Like with step three you might decide to have ice cream as part of your meal. You'll find a way round it

DH and I, we have no shared interests much, never have, we are so different , perhaps that's why it works But we love a walk, we love planning stuff and we like to just slump in front of certain tv shows together as well

Actually we do like eating out. This is a joy to me as it used to be fraught with danger, like oh no there goes my die and it will set me right off. Those days are past thank goodness. But DH has amazing research skills and finds me friendly restaurants and supermarkets all over the place. He thinks its nuts but likes being helpful. Funny how you think what might be a "problem" turns out a bonding thing after all
