For who does the scale lie?????

NiQi has been home for a week now and has been eating like a horse....and if we look at how our horses are continuously munching, then she is definitely no different.  There has certainly been plenty to eat too with the fridge full of leftovers and loads of chips, biscuits, cakes, dips, pudding, sweets and chocolates, although I know with her, she would rather leave the sweet stuff for 'ron'....lateron and eat anything savoury.

Before she left hospital, she weighed and was very happy that she had picked up 3 kg.  It was the biggest gain she has had, in the shortest time, for ages.  All the 'doing nothing' and eating, eating, eating really paid off for her.

So Sunday the scale was taken out of the cupboard to see how much she has gained since coming home....there was no question in her mind that she had, it was just a question of how much... Horror of horrors, move the scale around, take it off the carpet and put it on a tiled surface, turn it off and on again, stand on it once more,open the eyes and look....and look again....oh no!!!!!!!!Our scale says she has lost weight, a full 1.2 kg!!!!!!

How can that be possible after all the food she has consumed and the extra shakes too.  We now have not one disillusioned person in our house but three, for if our scale is wrong and the hospital scale is correct, then both Johan and I both weigh 1.2 kg more each....
