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 do oh DO seethe with envy. Just a little bit, anyway. It makes boasting so much more fulfilling.

Hello Possum! All your food sounds wonderful.

Mrs C LOL at mooncup excitement. Yes I was up all night polishing it in anticipation. Actually I wasn't anticipating anything as I only had my last period 24 days ago. Hence pissed-offness. Well I thought we hadn't strayed into TMI for at least a few days now.

BBB Discover (story place) is SO good, we went last year a couple of times. The children had a whale of a time and I must admit to mild enjoyment of the room with lights on the floor where you jump on them and it makes different sounds. I did play in there with Mr Greeny for about 20 mins as I recall. Not sure where the children were

Evening everyone

Am I the only one synchronised with the full moon now? Avi do you want to discuss your mooncup issues?(have emailed you hat pattern btw)

Franny sympathy with the period pains. Do you have a wheat bag? I love snuggling up with mine.

MrsCarrot · 11/08/2007 22:28

Is that like a hot water bottle, Tatties? I have been getting twinges now and then I guess it's gearing up. I may even try the mooncup.

Tatties · 11/08/2007 22:32

It's like a long beanbag, you heat it in the microwave and I sprinkle lavender oil on. It's good too if you have a sore neck as it can sit on your shoulders. I LOVE mine

MrsCarrot · 11/08/2007 22:34

Sounds lovely. Can you only do it in a microwave then, would the oven do as well?

BBBee · 11/08/2007 22:42

you can do them in the oven too - takes longer. Theyu can go in the freezer as well. I have a cherry stone one.

MrsCarrot · 11/08/2007 22:46

Thanks. I feel dizzy with this thread hopping!

ahundredtimes · 11/08/2007 22:49

Ooooh Franny, we did the Anthony Gormley this holidays. Is utterly fab. Mine adored it - especially the white box and the figures on the buildings. Will be fab.

Have eaten asparagus, tomatoes, green beans, spinach, nectarine and apple. Good day for me.

ahundredtimes · 11/08/2007 22:50

Oh and Mrs C - I know, I know. TEN. Ten. How did that happen? Am in denial. Also means the other two will be 8 and 6 in a minute. It's overwhelming.

MrsCarrot · 11/08/2007 22:53

yours are close in age then, I have big gaps, 9, 5 and six months. Is it your eldest who is most sensitive?

MrsCarrot · 11/08/2007 22:55

We were stuck in traffic near Bristol returning from Cornwall. I said to dh, we could pop in on 100x for coffee. She drinks lots. It will be good coffee.

zippitippitoes · 11/08/2007 22:58

I decided not to go to tescos and went to the fruit and veg shop instead and it was closed! whether permanently or what I don't know so i then got tempted by buying things..tried about ten perfumes and found two I liked and managed to let myself but one rather than two..so now have the rather grossly named 212 sexy on..

fantastic busker outside woolworhts so had a couple of sits there and watched an astonishing number of people anxious to give him money..I have never sat on a seat outside woolworths before int the 22 years I've lived here so was a strange and unexpected pleasure

then someone had rung me and told me that hmv had boxed sets of hitchcock films on offer so i was tempted to go there and spent ages trying not to buy cds and dvds...eventually didn't get either boxed set of hitchcock, neither brighton rock nor the constant gardener, didn't get blade runner because it wasn't there, didn't get metropolis or any old belle and sebastian but did get pan's labyrinth boxed with cronos and the devils backbone..not sure if this qualifies as restraint or not

MrsCarrot · 11/08/2007 23:00

I love Belle and Sebastian

FrannyandZooey · 11/08/2007 23:00

No we are going for 3 days, and I think we will still have trouble fitting it all in

Dp was being such an arse, he always REFUSES to pack the night before we go and I want to leave straight after breakfast. This time I said "please please can we pack the night before" "yes yes". I have got everything ready, laid it all out on the bed, every single ruddy thing and he said "I can't put it in the suitcase until tomorrow." (for some stupid reason I have to lie everything out on the bed while he has to put the things in the suitcase. Why? I don't know ffs. Oh god. Even worse. I do know. It's because my PARENTS did it that way. Aaargh)

anyway I said "I have put all the stuff on the bed" [escalating hysteria]. He said "I will move it next to the bed." "I cannot sleep with all that atuff next to the bed, I just can't." "Shut your eyes and you will not know it is there."

Thank fuck somehow I have persuaded him to do it now. Am I completely neurotic or would anyone else have trouble sleeping with the entire contents of their holiday suitcase laid out on the floor next to them? God I am being mad. Sorry.

MrsCarrot · 11/08/2007 23:03

Hmmm, that sounds like very 10/10 behaviour to me

I never let dh pack the suitcase, he shoves it in any old how, but for some reason only he can roll the sleeping bags up tight enough. That was the thrilling fact of the evening

ahundredtimes · 11/08/2007 23:05

Yes it would have been darn good coffee. I wish you had come, or alternatively called me and I could have whisked a thermos over to you on the motorway. I could have whizzed up on a pair of roller blades.

DS1 sensitive yes, sort of in a slightly chess-playing, geeky kind of way, DS2 sensitive too but in different ways. But we've quite a neurological mix over here. DD bewitchingly confident, sociable but feisty.

Zipp. Yes, restraint for sure. Well done. I love the thought of you sitting on the bench going 'Oooh, look at that, I've never seen that before.'
