It's Bean a Chard Maize Night for Harry Potter and the Deathly Marrows with Eggs Peas Halitosis - 10 / 10 club

[FirenzeandZooey]

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

oh gosh the last lot of mooncup orders nearly finished me off

I am having a mooncup sabbatical

ooooh brownies. Enjoy yourself

at thread title

FMV I hope you have a lovely relaxing evening

Haven't eaten enough fruit today but have had lovely beany lentilly veggie chilli for dinner.

TooT I want to see your hair too!

And I know I only whispered it before but I HAVE JOINED A GYM. Is anyone excited for me?

I am. Have you had a gym induction and all that, Tatties?

I love brownies, freshly baked, with a sprinkling of almonds.

Hooray Lionheart! Yes I had a quick intro to all the machines. Just been to classes so far though. Brownies do sound nice. I did some baking today too.

Wish I was organsied/energetic enough to sign up.

*organised, even.

You know it is not something I thought I would ever do. But I was in the right frame of mind for it and seized the moment. Now I've paid for it I'm bloody well going to get my money's worth AND enjoy it!

Paying for it should be incentive enough, it's true.

oh HOORAH Tatties

I bet you will love it. It's just a question of finding the bits that you like doing, I think. And then, erm, doing them.

Franny, if you're done with Harry I can send you The Last Child in the Woods, which I've almost finished (just let me have your address).

Not the last actual child because that would be wrong and besides which he wouldn't fit into a treasure basket.

oooooooooooooh yes please

oh it's that one about being close to nature isn't it? Oh YES YES please

No pic of me yet (I'll get ds2 to take one of me tomorrow. Maybe.) but on my profile, for a limited time only, my little tribe of warrior celts and dd2 the naked chef hard at work.

Carrot, apple, peas, cabbage, tomato, cucumber. Dd2 made fantastic flapjackesque thingummy with apple and dried apricots in.

My friend has that book, she loves it, I keep meaning to borrow it from her.

Dh cooked the 'rice' while i went to get extra veg for the stir fry, except, it turned out to be barley, not that he minded, seen as he was having noodles

We got our stokke pieces today so F sat at the table with us at dinner eating pears and carrot. He looked very pleased with himself.

Erm... I take it we CAN give you credit for this thread title Franny?

Hello too! Am back from week long trip around Suffolk. Have eaten sandwiches, packets of crisps, fish and chips and cheese strings for what feels like years now.

Anything exciting happen here while I was away?

It's an interesting book, that's for sure.

Your public is waiting TooT.

I am hiding - I am not online much as have to read HP to DS and am scared of finding out the ending - am not even reading this thread and am missing mumsnet (and you) lots.

BBB very wise; I hope you enjoy it.

100x it was a kind of collaborative effort Was wondering where you were and decided you and BBB must be in Germany watching odd cabaret and screaming.

TooT fab picture. PLEASE don't post the photo when I am not around. Dp is working from home today so I probably won't be on the pc again until this evening.

Baby carrot is a 10 / 10 er in the making!

Have eaten blueberries, grapes, raisins, kiwi and plums.

dug my Sophie Grigson's 'Sunshine Food' out of the bookshelves.....had forgotten just how good some of her veggie dishes are.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Think I might make the Bazargan later........it's sunny though for once & am toying with the idea of packing a picnic & jumping on the train to the seaside for the day.

Avi I like madcap schemes. Can you regale us with some of the edited highlights please?

Have not eaten much veg but have watched ds flying through the air at trampoline lesson and feel my heartbeat was sufficiently elevated for an hour

oops brb, jehovah alert

jehovah alert? Are you having visions or something Franny? Low blood sugar?

Ah sorry

it was his Witnesses rather than the man himself

I now have a tract called Ethnic Harmony - Is It Possible? I could have told them that judging by MN no it is not

have eaten huge fk off salad

oh and have got my new PA thing for the pub job. Can't remember if I wittered about it on this thread before. Will resurrect old thread.

Oh dear

erm, attempt at translation:

the jehovah's witnesses called on me. They left me a leaflet about racial harmony. I felt sad because of that nasty thread about immigration. I ate a large amount of vegetables. I have bought a speaker and microphone to use when I am entertaining children over the summer. I am going to go off now and post on my other thread about that job.

is it just me avi who is particularly opaque?
