Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls - 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

I like Belle and Sebastien too.

Franny, why can't you just put it into the suitcase yourself? Just...put it in? If i left anything to dp it'd be done at the last possible moment, and it'd all be wrong. When he dresses the girls they look like little tiny bag ladies - stripy tops and spotty skirts and flowery tights in summer etc.

Not doing well for fruit today, but had nice vegetabley pasta - and a small salad for lunch on the pier in Southwold.

Why don't you just put it in the suitcase Franny? I pack everything, except DH's stuff. He shoves it in at the last minute, and is his responsibility if he forgets his pants.

Because

because

because

because I CAN'T

because HE ALWAYS DOES IT

it's his job you see

oh come on you must have stupid ruddy things that you never do because dp always does them? Anyone?

anyway he has done it now, I can go to bed [phew]

uuum, I never put the bin out?

Boco - which is your favourite? They are always art school to me, I love tigermilk best

100 - my dd is feisty too, lovely, but a challenge! ds is sensitive but he has made himself be into football and now is obsessed.

something is rustling in the corner and I don't want to look

erm . . . I can't think of anything he's meant to do which I wouldn't do because he does it even thought I want it done now.

Anyway, he packed the night before. This is progress. Will he be unhappy at having to do this? He might not sleep and be sulky at the Anthony Gormley.

MrsC i like Dear Catastrophe Waitress - reminds me of a happy summer a few years ago.

Do you like Kings of Convenience? They're lovely.

I haven't heard of those, no, I am enjoying Vetiver very much. Have you seen Aitch's changing art faces, they're weird but lovely.
here

LOL @ your 'but' Mrs C. I think he can be sensitive and be into football. Is allowed.

Oooh that's wonderful. I love that. They all had the same nose for a long time didn't they?

yes, yes, but the BUT was sort of representative of the point of tension, I don't really think he likes football that much, he's just sort of made himself like it and now is obsessed, to fit in see. He prefers rugby, and really prefers fimo and drawing little stick-like space ships and making banners at art club but now he wears an arsenal shirt and postively reeled off football trivia to the barber with astonshing confidence to the point of, well, geekiness. Oh dear. I am a mean mum maybe?

I have chuckled like mad over this thread but can't remember what about - oh, apart from Franny's hilarious suitcase dilemma. I'm sorry Franny, but it is hilarious.

However, I will not do the bin because it has dp's fag ends in and stinks. And I will not take plastics/cardboard, etc, to the recycling site because I would always have at least one child with me and I do not like leaving dcs in the car. So there is method in what I will not do. Also will not hoover atm as blasted machine coughs dust and it does bad things to my nose and chest.

I made a hooge stir fry and ate it with an alarming amount of sesame oil.

they do look very similar for ages, I found it a little unnerving I must say.

Hello Toot - DH smokes in the garden too, I hate it

Oh BBBee, even with your real and unusual name - you don't exist on facebook! And i've gone off scrabble today as houseguest told me that everyone cheats and uses an internet site that gives you all the best solutions, and that no one knows who's cheating and who isn't, so uses the sites anyway, and if you don't then you're a mug and if you do then the game is essentially pointless as it's just the computer playing itself.

Took away all my enthusiasm.

Smoking is really ick, isn't it? And I am an ex-smoker I do worry that the public places ban may drive some people home to smoke so will be worse for their children.

Oh. That is disheartening, Boco, I will come and play real scrabble with you one day, on a sand dune maybe?

Stick to real scrabble. If you have someone who will play it with you. Dd1 and ds1 are coming on but don't quite have the obsessive attention span that I have.

I am an ex-smoker too, I hope that doesn't happen, Toot, but I expect it will a bit

MrsC, good luck with your test results. I think you're quite right to refuse the biopsy

Strangely, I seem to have got over my wheat/bread/whatever it was problem. Just an odd sort of blip. But dd2 may have a dairy problem - which won't affect us too much as I don't have dairy anyway.

Another ex-smoker here too. I still miss it occasionally. Bad.

Yes, would love to play real scrabble in the sand dunes MrsC. Dp won't play any games, he hates them, refuses to be competitive and it's no fun playing with someone who doesn't try to win.

DH is no fun either, Boco. Every Autumn I buy playing cards with the scarves and wood imagining romantic firelit games but no, we sit there with our laptops. We played Trvial Pursuit once on holiday. He won.

Toot- I am not having it as my mother had on once and I remember her saying how awful it was. She knew it was going to hurt when the nurse came and held her hand.

How awful. I shall have to start whispering about homoeopathy again if I hear any more medical horrors.

I use homeopathy. That reminds me, I must dig out F's tissue salts, he's very mucousy after wheat week

It is very late, I have been on the computer all evening now I am a bit fuzzy, Might go and look for those perseids

I know nothing about homeopathy, I wasn't an extended bfeeder, I still have the odd cigarette from time to time, what am I DOING on this thread?

I think your ds1 is very wise MrsC, and I think you have to let him do all that. He'll come round again to being himself in time. I wish my ds would say 'Oh my goodness, people really aren't interested in Bobby Fischer's chess moves are they? Oh right, ok. Up the Aresenal.'

Ah but, 100x, if he is into chess and the like then presumably he isn't the wild, boisterous type who leaps into people and winds his siblings up for fun? Be grateful!
