Success Saturday is a chance to share all the little wins that didn't make it into their own post.!

I love hearing how well you guys have been doing, so lay it on thick this week and make your mod proud.

I lost another couple of KGs this week and saw numbers on the scales I haven't seen in 5 years, so I'm riding high, cool guy ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

Great progress. I am losing a steady 1kg a month. Although my smart scales needed new batteries and I think I switch it off and can't figure out how to switch it back on again. I'm not feeling so smart.

I didn't want to call it too early but the gerbils survived my two week vigil and you've hardly know that Buddy (right) started that time in such dire straits that I had to be given instructions on how to beat dispose of him (plot picked out in the garden after my brother vetoed putting him in a ziplock bag and freezing him):

I mean, he was being a complete sex pest by the time I left but I've explained it to him, so if he gets cancelled it's his own fault.

He doesn't look the sort to listen to advice haha. I look forward to his inevitable Netflix exposรฉ.

He's even flashing his sex pouch (more accurate terms definitely exist) in defiance.

One of my chores for today was troubleshoot the smart scales - downloaded the manual, checked the app, dancer around it with burning sage, checked the new batteries I put in around the time it mysteriously stopped working, put one battery round the right way and voila! Got that bad boy ticked off the list.

I've only just gone and found a triple conker. Absolute scenes.

Hold up - hasn't this happened before? Were you the kind of kid that oven-baked their conkers?

I'm a little confused what that community is for. Is it pro or anti positivity, haha?

[โ€“] PrettyBlackDress@lemdit.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Antipositivity. Basically you post something really positive and uplifting and the people in the comments just twist what you say into an actually negative view

That sounds kinda fun. I'll check it out!

I filed it under "I'm too old for this shit".
