    You are all cracking me up. I haven’t had the best of weeks what with DS moving & one of my good friends dad dying suddenly. 
    I have forced myself to do half a hour of decluttering. If I popped my clogs tomorrow my DS would have a blooming problem. 
    Sorry it's been a tough week.  I think anything we do to simplify our lives will be really helpful for anyone who has to deal with our stuff.  It's part of the thinking behind my endless declutter, following having to deal with a relatives house.

    I just ate the strongest spring onion I have ever eaten in my life.  My mouth is on fire!

    Sad times, I changed the battery in my scales and it's found the missing 30lbs :(  At least I know now.  I've left them out, so hopefully I can keep them in the same place and be consistent!  However, the good news is despite my weeks of not eating well, I hadn't put on weight.

    I have no idea :D  I seem to be quite good at maintaining my weight, and terrible at reducing it!

    I am exactly the same jwil. Seem to sit within the same weight give or take 3 or 4 pounds. Can’t loose though. 
    It's so frustrating isn't it.  It's good that we aren't gaining, but annoying when trying to lose!

    I find that frustrating too. I've been 1lb above the next stone down for weeks now and I think psychologically it would be really helpful to just lose that lb and be down a bracket but its not shifting.  My scales seem to be accurate and it doesn't matter which kind of floor surface I have them on.
     
    Strangely, my clothes are definitely looser but thats not reflected on the scales 🤔🤔🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️[not complaining re looser clothes btw]
