Sometime we underestimate our relations.

We went to visit my father in law today and he surprised me with a gift of a set of scales he had found which give the carbohydrate content of various foods when they are weighed. 😉

Apparently he had asked my husband if he thought I would like them and then went to the shop that had said they were stocking them three times before he managed to get me a set. 😱

I think that's great as he is has recently celebrated his 77th birthday. 😎

I thought so. 🙂

He got them in his local Lidl.

The pleasure of giving is ageless.😉

I've found this one... http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/salter-nu-tri-weigh-and-go-dietry_1_157764.html

Is it similar? I'm a little cautious as this one is no longer available on Amazon...which makes me wonder why!

MCH what a lovely deed and a thoughtful man bless him.
When I told my outlaws (to be) of my diagnosis they gave me a lecture on being overweight along with a cuppa and large slice of a vic sandwich!

With support like that well am better off without them 🙄
