To Thine Own Self Beetroot - 10 / 10 club - all welcome

[FrannyandZooey]

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 by following the link at the very bottom of the page

Boco ruddy hell we are neighbours

kind of

email me your whereabouts pls

Boco I have holidayed in Southwold and Walberswick so many times, and Aldeburgh and camped on Dunwich on the beach a few times! We have stayed in a cottage in Woodbridge about 4 times, we love it very much there, but have only afforded it once since ds was born

ooh Boco thank you, I shall do all you say, and yes have quite strong ponce leanings so I think I'll be happy. Can I look at all the Londoners arriving for the weekend, and tut and sigh at them because I'm not arriving from London. I'm going to, will be fun.

Really! How exciting? Where are you? You're not in suffolk are you? I love suffolk too - it's lovely - i like that we can drive to the coast 40 mins away and pass about 3 cars on all the winding pretty roads. I live in Eye - do you know it? Used to go to school in Debenham

My parents moved to Suffolk recently, you can go and stay with them Franny and drive to the coast from there. I have never done this, but they've not been there long.
They are quite nice, but my mother can be a bit scary but I expect you'll cope with her. I'm going to tell her to dust down her spare room.

No we're in Essex but I just love Suffolk very much indeed

have driven past Eye loads of times but never stopped there

I have this inkling it has a big hippie community, is that right? Yoga or something?

100x will skip it for now

but am getting excited about potential 10 / 10 meet up in Suffolk one day

plenty of us are close enough to do it

100 you'll be fine - the londoners i'm thinking of own houses - all the houses in southwold are owned by bankers. A tiny little fishermans cottage sells for about 548 million pounds. It's a bit silly.

Franny you must know Framlingham then - went to sixth form there - where there's a big castle. We always went to beach parties at dunwich and walberswick and aldburgh - maybe we went to the same ones?

Well Eye has an alternative health centre and a birthing unit - lots of indian head rubbers and accupuncturists and reflexologists and homeopaths etc. Quite a lot of hippies around.

Nope never been to Framlingham

mainly the places I mentioned before, and Orford, Easton (we often go out there to the farm park), umm, Leiston, Sutton Hoo...forgotten other places

100 if you can get there for a swanky holiday, you can get there for a meet up

Franny next time you pass eye come and visit me!

Do you live near Saffron Walden Franny?

lol, yes franny is true. Am staying in a rich bastards house, I think. I shall stay there again, we can BOTH stay there and swan about criticising his taste in interiors.

Oh yes we go to Easton farm park. Framlingham is near woodbridge. Snape is also good - love snape maltings with the henry moore sculptures.

I lived in Reydon, just outside Southwold for a couple of years, it was a nice place to be 11, girly bike rides across to walberswick, crabbing, mud fights, cream buns and so on.

We take the dc's there a lot now, it's about an hours drive

Oh you should all meet up soon. You're all an hour from each other. How exciting.

Where are you now MrsC? Are you near Aldburgh - do you go to the festival? The poetry thing wasn't as impressive as it sounded - it was just embarrassing, and the poem was too awful to remember.

Ooh yes Snape

Filly goes to see people in Norwich so we could drag her on board (although I think she is about meet ups in general)

well well a plan may be taking shape [blots memory of last meet up firmly out of mind]

Oh Avi have sent you emails

Boco I am also horrible atm

I am fascinated by the meet-ups actually. Fascinated, I tell you. Tell us about them Franny. Are they always successful? I mean does it ever go a bit wrong?
