Scales

The other day I didn't hang the little squirt nappy cleaner properly on its wall hook. It fell on the bathroom scales and broke the plastic cover on the dial. Since the cover had the little line that marked the correct weight, it's not really usable any more.

I want to make sure I don't lose any more weight while feeding Louka (she's taking it all!) and Graham is trying to lose weight. So we went shopping for a new one.

We tried out two digital scales in DJs, and found a difference of about 300g between them. Obviously digital scales aren't necessarily totally accurate. Neither of them claimed any level of accuracy, so we went looking for one that did. We found one in Myer that claimed accuracy to 100g, and it was on sale for 30% off, so we bought it. No way we can test its alleged accuracy, since we don't have any weights to calibrate it with.

Louka was enjoying sitting on our shoulders at the shops. She hangs onto our hair, or in Graham's case, ears, but we don't trust her ability to hang on so we hold her up, which makes it rather tiring on our arms.
