"I crack the whip, and you skip" - 10 / 10 Boot Camp

[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

yes the next thread title is
"What Franny would like to do with dustin hoffman's plums"

don't go PSW - you are able to be sane.

Talking of which where's boco? Did dhe organise a holiday?

BBBe, I have just spluttered plum juice all over my computer screen at that title. Franny should use it, it does have fruit in the title after all.

We need a new title quite fast

we've only got room for 200 more rambling thoughts about plums on here

I don't know what happened last week. There was talk of a brother and a horse-riding girlfriend. Though, didn't she have some eye thing?

Oh why can't we have that one about the chard tolling for you? Was it chard? It made me laugh.

It was KALE. As Not For Who the Kale Tolls, it Tolls for You?

Was that it?

Oh god I can't even remember other people's funny lines, let alone think up my own.

I'm all upset about how old Alan Alda is.

Why would the chard toll?

Why do we have to have Greeny's titles all the time? She is never on here. And she never answers her emails and YES I KNOW YOU WILL READ THIS GREENY WHEN YOU SEARCH ON YOUR NAME YOU BIG JANGLY EGOTIST YOU

possum - I hope the plum juice you spat all over the computer screen was of the fruit variety and not the dustin hoffman variety.

I don't know why it would. That's why I liked it. OK. Can we have one with coffee beans in it? In a good way ?

Coffee beans are not vegetables [stern]

most certainly of the fruit variety, my lap top is looking very 10/10 right now, I won dered why the space bar didn't work and then I excavated a flattened pea from underneath it.
as relief from bootcamp why don't we have a carnival themed thread? What do I know,. i'm not even meant to be on here but I'm so stressed I can't think straight so seek solace in vegetables - eating them i mean.

Oh alright then Is it bootcampy next week or are we relaxing?

I've just seen a mouse. Just now. Come out by the dishwasher.

Do you think clean houses have mice? Do you think they only really appear in badly kept ones? I do.

euromaus?

I have an image of Carmen Miranda shaking her fruity stuff but a thread title escapes me

LOL. No BB quite nice and small. Looked quite jolly. No waistcoat. What am I meant to do about it? I mean is it going to do HARM?

can it have Guadalupe in it? I like that word.

carnival vegetables

100 are you sure it is not just sleep deprivation and coffee?

100x, I'm back.

BBBee, I am in awe of your sheer daring! Actually, I weeed fully clad in the sea on holiday. Was DESPERATE and no loos nearby so, whilst wading out with ds2 to put him on an island of rock...
Actually, another incident on holiday which I will not relate led me to believe that I have been neglecting my pelvic floor.

Okay, let's change the subject, shall we? Birds. I went through a phase of finding them quite unnerving, but really like them now. I think it was the fluttering. Not keen on feathers when dcs pick them up though - I always wonder how the bird died and if there are remnants of blood and skin.

No. It was real. I'm sure of it.

I sort of shoved a chair about and it ran under the fridge. It may still be there. I don't know. I don't like them much but am being calm as ds2 is asleep on the sofa in the kitchen. I don't know why. I just turned around and he was there. So somehow I have to carry him upstairs, and he's tall and I'm not, past the mouse under the fridge by the door.

I may be here all night unless dh wakes up and hears my cries of help.

well they can breed and they can smell and they can run around and frighten you.

can you borrow a cat for a day? if you shut it in that room the smell could be enough to frighten the mice off.

I have had problems with mice - one woman in london said it is nothing to do with cleanliness as they can eat grease behind cooker etc.

Don't believe a word of it. Is sign of a housework slut madam.

Yes I think it is too BB. For sure. I think it moved in last week, it's got a suitcase and things all unpacked, hung up its pictures, just came out to have a look around. Was AFFRONTED to see me here, living here.

whenever I do that carrying sleeping children when they are big I invariably wake them up by clunking their head on a door frame or bannister.

I like you having a sofa in your kitchen.
