Can anyone help me with roughly how many tomatoes to a kilo (have a great tomato plant at home) and don't have scales? Just a rough guide for an average sized tomato - fit in the palm of your hand size... Thanks heaps

Mmmm, that's a hard one as some toms are far more dense than others. If you have a pound of butter, hold that in one hand and then tomatoes in the other- that will give you a rough idea of 500g, then do it until you have "weighed" enough.

I just weighed an average (medium) sized tomato and it was 140g so around 7+ to the kilo

All depends. Cherry tomatoes? Medium tomatoes? Beefsteak tomatoes?

Oh the embarrassment of taking the cat to the vet and that was how they weighed him. I certainly wasn't expecting a vet to weigh me!

Just had a quiet giggle, currently a pregnant cat but need to watch her closely and ensure that she is gaining the right weight as she was quite light to start, use a kitchen scale but only goes up to 3 kilos, so now I add a pack of butter, reset scales to zero, then weigh cat and then to add the weight of butter to get the correct weight, she is progressing well, soon could possibly look at the bathroon scale scenario though... . but only looking at say about 100 to 160 grams increase per weigh in every 3rd day before feeding time in the morning.
