Julie

Have recently been measured on new fangled weight/height machine. The height is worked out a bit like the estate agents use to measure a room (does that make sense) and no feet inches or cms marked out anywhere.

I apparently have lost more than an inch. I don't believe it. My daughter who is a young woman was also told she was an inch shorter than she thought too
My weight was wrong too!!
