Hi Kellie,

I'll bet it's colder here..and gently snowing at the moment!

I am a Brit in exile. I always bring hermisitas with me from England. They are saccharine, not aspartame like candarel. Personally I find artificial sweeteners make little difference to me but I know they do to other people. I didn't know you could get splenda in Britain? Oh well.

Good luck.

P.S. My cousin who is doing atkins in England buys tins of unsweetened rhubarb. Only one supermarket's own brand is nearly carb free - I think it's sainsbury's. It's grat with a bit of powdered sweetner on it - just to give you a change from jelly!

All the best,

Robert
