    I've got the same ones Maz. It might be my carpet, but I never get the same weight twice. It can vary by up to half a stone, literally standing on em, getting off and doing it again :confused:

    Like I said, they might not like carpet :rolleyes:

    Its not the carpet Spud, its you. You are having little bursts of thinking yourself thin! Keep going girl, you'll soon be levitating:D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Maz - those scales look great. One thing I've found with every set of scales i've ever had was that I almost need to recalibrate scales each time I use them so I know it's starting from the zero.

    Although I love Pepe's reasoning too!

    Actually she was lovely. They've had me on an exclusion diet and it was time to try dairy so my throat looks like I have a tumour and every gland on my body is swollen. :( But they are happy that I have a definitely allergy to dairy and an intolerance to wheat so back to the doctors for more tests to find out what else is wrong.

    I'm glad that you're gettiing on with being diagnosed. Sorry to hear about the dairy allergy. There are loads of things to but now, but push for getting stuff on prescription if you can. Wheat-free stuff is easy to come by too. Sainsburys have a great range of own brand stuff which is cheaper. I have to avoid soya too for my kiddles which makes a bit more comlicated, but hey ho!

    Hello all! Not been around much over Chistmas - I hope you all had a good one! My house is still full of Chritmas food! I hate throwing stuff away - but I really need to start my diet too! I have just bought some running shoes and am going to join you runners on the running thread - but I'm not sure I can run the length of my self at the moment! And it is way too icy to go out today! Typical isn't it?
    The ice here is black and dangerous! An old man fell outside the school this morning and looked like he had broken his hip! not a good day to start running!

    For Wheat-Free, my DD ( who is coeliac (sp?) ) contacted Juvela, I think, and they sent out loads of freebies of pasta, bread and stuff.....in fact all the stuff that is available on prescription. Give it a go Gemmzie

    And get a bread maker, Gluten-Free bread is horribly expensive, doesnt keep and is generally carp! Make it in a BM and finish in oven is miles better.
