Thrilling household news! We’ve only gone and purchased a new set of baarfroom scales ain’t we? Well, it’s thrilling to me at any rate… alright, maybe thrilling’s not the word… I’m buggered if I know what the word is. It’s probably more like two words… Mildly pleased. Yes, that’ll do, I’m mildly please to be the proud owner of a new set of bathroom scales.
We were forced into this latest acquisition as the old scale was a habitual liar. Of course this (quite literally) swung both ways, as it would on an almost daily basis, fluctuate its dial readings by up to half a stone either way. Obviously the weighty oscillations became too much for us to bear, exuberant jubilation one day, inconsolable desolation the next.
Whilst bought for better accuracy, the scales have also been purchased as a motivational tool to help the missus shed some of her heft. Having recently had problems with a slipped disc she was advised that losing some excess would prove to be great help, plus she has a 10km sponsored run to do sometime in June.
Whether they’ll make any real difference, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Wow, I'm very pleased for you.... arf!
We coincidentally just bought some new kitchen scales so I could all types of housewifely type things like baking 'n' that or I could just weigh out all that primo northern lights I just got cheap.
Your lady is brave though, I'm far too scared to do one of those run thingies, I'd just collapse I reckon.
That's the point though, she will most probably just collapse too.
She's been armed with a cycle, that's been used only twice and she really needs to get in shape for it, if she's gonna do it properly.
I'm backing her all the way, in fact, I'm gonna go and get a unitard, spectacles and a baseball cap (perhaps boot polish is a perceived racialist step too far) and become her very own Mr Motivator.
