"We demand the finest vegetables available to humanity. We want them here, and we want them now." - 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

Whose pillow is this? Can you move your elbow please?

Oh we go river swimming - well, in a weir, but it's all basically river, it's lovely lovely.

A 4th child, wow.

Oh BBBee i did that - with the indecisiveness, i think i'm easily influenced.

I just read this article about second life - have you all heard of it? i hadn't, i'm totally mind blown - it's the most bizarre thing i've ever heard of, how have i missed it? Anyway, you're probably all in bed together.

Sorry. Budge up a bit though, and BBee can you please move, you are lying on my nightdress.

Coffee? Hmm. I shall be having Fair Trade finely roasted kenyan beans. In a cafetiere.

Boco, we are, get in, there's room for a little one

Jump in Boco, Franny's in THAT t-shirt.

I read this Tim Adams thing about Second Life in The Observer. He did a big article and now he does a sort of weekly column. I think it's bizarre too. People buy and sell property and all sorts.

Whose turn is it to turn out the light? I'm all cosy now, I don't want to get up again.

second life is a bit like mumsnet but you have an actual character and wander around and chat and stuff.

Were you reading that stuff about the virus spreading in second life? That was cool. Apprenalty epidemiologists are going to use it to study the spread of disease.

Oh god have gone all geeky now.

I think we have a bedside light. I do. And it's just there by Boco. She can do the switch.

BBee - stop fidgeting.

Why does Boco get to do the switch? I was in bed first. I didn't know we had a switch.

You can become a millionaire, selling property and virtual belly button rings and stuff! Actual money, made by selling stuff that isn't really there! Wow. Because you can't run out of virtual land, it goes on forever, and you can make like a penthouse and sell it for thousands of real pounds! And people pay real money to have extra skills in sexual things, so they can go to nightclubs and have virtual sex with strangers - who could well be 13 year old boys. It's so odd - a million pounds is spent every DAY, on NOTHING. I'm sorry, i'm keeping you all awake, i'm just amazed. I want to create things to sell to pretend people, and maybe we'll all implode.

Can i have some cover please.

you can't turn the light off I want to read.

100 - is that a picture of alistair campbell under you pillow?

That is because you always lie in the middle, with your elbows out by your sides, demanding space. Boco is the last in, she has a slither of bed.

I think she might not turn the light off. i think she might want to discuss Second Life though.

I know someone who did it and she ran 2 characters - one all busty and sexy and one all activist and political. two sides of her personality I think.

She wasted so much time she had to drop out of her degree.

God almighty. I am in bed with two coffee freaks and a Sharer who is hopped up on her new discovery of Second Life.

Oh boy, it's going to be one of those nights. And I thought these days were all in the past.

Ok who farted?

[disgust]

I smell plums. And greengages.

I don;t understand the bying and selling nothing though - dp wanted to buy something there based on the fact that we once bought a flat in london that increased in value and now he is the male kirsty walk - not kirsty walk that posh one from the proerty show.

I want to create an avatar! Do you think there are any organicy type lentil weavers roaming around selling guadalupes? Or are they all lithe and erotic goth freak nymphs? I don't want to turn the light out yet, can we talk a bit longer? Look, i can do shadow puppets!

I did all this virtual world stuff before I settled down on MN. I didn't do the visual ones but I did a lot of text stuff. It is very very addictive and very very silly.

No I don't think they're all goths. I think they wear buttoned down shirts and are called Greg. Well some of them anyway. They work in management consulting and things.

To begin with your Avatar is really awkward and gauche apparantly.

Oh god yes 100x [jumps on bed with excitement]

And we must BUY property - MrBBBB is right - because property prices are going up, so it'll be an investment, we'll make enough to keep us in sparkly t-shirts and fine vegetable for ever!

Have you finished yet BB? What ARE you reading? Is it Spotlight? Are you looking for actors? Hmm?

I keep thinking about the name guadalupe since you menitoned it - I might even get a fish just to call it that.

100 whilst you were away we all said what people should be called and you got all the uber sophiscitcated names.

Oh i'm sure they're all called greg - but they look like goths. It's odd, the idea of sexy avatar is all leather swim suit and boots - well boots a bit like those ones franny was lusting after...hang on! [suspicious]

Sorry wasn't yawning at you Boco.

Okay, can we share someone though? One day they'll be all charming and artistic and sharing and they'll be very popular and the next they'll drink too much coffee and be awkward. We might give our avatar a nervous breakdown. Let's do it.
