Take our quiz to see if you're stringing out the celebrations, or whether you've switched into reset mode - and get the expert tips that will help boost your health over the last few days of the year.

Choose the answer that best applies to you...

1 HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR FESTIVE LEFTOVERS?

There are plenty of 'picky bits' - perfect for this week's get-togethers.

Leftovers? You're still ploughing through your huge Christmas food shop.

The fridge has been decluttered ahead of starting your January diet.

You've made a batch of turkey curry, so it's simple meals from now on.

2 WILL YOU BE HAVING FAMILY AND FRIENDS OVER?

You've done your bit and need some me time.

The more the merrier! Every day still feels like Christmas this week.

No, you're tidying up and getting organised.

Yes, and you've stocked up on booze, nibbles and chocs.

3 HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT YOUR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS?

It feels such a chore to take them down!

You went OTT this Christmas so they'll be staying until 5 January.

You find fairy lights soothing, so you might keep those up all year.

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'

Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said.
