I'm quite good if they're in the cupboard and I can't see them.

If they're visible, I will open them.

If they're open, I will finish the packet.

Same here (given the chance). ;-)

So far the only Christmas sweeties I have eaten are two boxes of mince pies.

That's not too bad.

The drawback to this system is when I forget there's something in the cupboard and find the maderia cake after three months.

I think that's like finding a untouched mug of tea you were given a
while back and forgot about. ;-(
