For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here and you can download more detailed information if you follow the link at the very bottom of the page

You can get natural red and yellow colourings, and for anything dark I just use chocolate icing. I did experiment with nettle and spinach icing recently as I wanted green but it came out rather pale.

No idea if it's poisonous. I think I heard it was quite smelly though.

But shop cake isn't even edible. Is it? A good homemade one scores far more points even if it looks homemade. Maybe research the woad a little before slapping it on though...
My dcs are nicely judgemental if they go to a party where there is shop cake

Oh, and, pitifully, does anybody have a pair of size 4.5 / 21 wellies they no longer need? Dd2 is growing out of hers (in this weather!!) and there is nowt on ebay. May be able to swap for...um...something?
