Yeah, it's a bummer getting on these forums 'cos most people are from the other side of the world for me and so never on at the same time as me (unless there's someone out there suffering from insomnia). Luckily in a couple of months time I'll be in Rome, Italy for three months, so easier to write people online at the same time. (Although it may wreak HAVOC with my diet, as I never saw any wholemeal pasta over there when I was there!) Also, who wants to give up PIZZA!

Well, don't want to keep you from enjoying Survivor. Sorry I can't say I know who your son looks like, not having watched that program ever. To tell the truth, reality shows do nothing for me (although I will shamefacedly admit to watching the Bachelor now and again when there's nothing else on!)

Look forward to hearing from you again. Thanks for being so patient. STill awaiting a clear explanation on the difference GI and GL load (mentioned in another post). I really want to do what's right, as this diet sounds like one I can handle (if I only understood it!!)
