Hi sonya.......

I called my mother at lunch time and said 'No carbs and no hassle' - as I will also be spending time at home over easter. She said fine...but it was important that I let her know this in advance because if not it would be - 'that can't be right' no bread? no pasta? no potatoes - sure have one for God's sake - it's hardly going to kill you.

And that is the point - No it will not kill me but it will make me very unhappy to ruin all my good work todate.

Good luck - will check in soon, Miriam
