The Invisible ...... Mango - 10 / 10 thread - 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.

boco - well done and what fran said about the vegetables esp. eating the apsragus alone.

I have had greengages, plums, apples and tomatoes.

For supper we are having cod and prawns in parsely sauce with rice, peas and edamame. Then LL rice thing.

I have bought my sister a monkey magic t-shirt for her birthday. I wen tot the post office by the way. (now is where I should insert that wink face)

Bad people on here.

I will make it when the children are abed (and probably eat it before they wake up).

What is monkey magic?

ds was the only child to eat the veg crudites offered as a snack at nursery >
the other lo's were whining for biscuits....ds said mournfully that no one else was hungry so he had lots to eat!!!!

whispers

Let us have it. Franny will not notice.

monkey magic was on telly when me and my sister as little- it was japanese dubbed badly with English - was very surreal and weird.

It was on when we had piano lessons and we had to decide if we wanted to see the first half of MM and then garble it to the other sister in teh change over or miss the start and have it garbled at you and see the end and then have to explain it.

I am sure it was not as good as we thought.

Oh, I remember, it was slightly disturbing, wasn't it?

yes is was disturbing. There was a character who was kind of half pig who ate a lot.

< Hi, BBB >

I've eaten an apple and a raw carrot.

Will try and do better tomorrow.

oh forgot to say I went to specialist chocloate shop yesterday - no montezoma crying chocolate. When to little health food shop that has montezuma chocolate but no crying kind. Am getting worried it might no be in my town.

Oh when we went punting my dad hit me on the head with the punt pole - it made a clanging noise and both my children laughed.

hey TnOgu!

Lovely to see you!

Eat more than that. Boco is here sometimes - you must know her - she does art.

I love Boco.

She is very funny.

< I love you too >

oh i am going on holiday on sunday

Where are you going, zippi?

i just started a thread..egypt..i just booked it on impulse

Ooh.

Dp has a Monkey Magic t-shirt I bought him a few years ago. He really likes it. Occasionally I worry that we have made a dreadful mistake and that it might be racist? Is it?

TnOgu hello, please do eat more things

and I WILL NOTICE any recipes (bet LL's is better than mine, grr)

Overrun it is darned popular isn't it? A couple of the new cool girls hang around on here sometimes, that must be why I don't forget who kept it going all those lonely months when they was only about 5 of us, though

I loved that programme ........oooooooooooooh memories...i'd forgotten all about it

franny....i shall not post it.....out of respect

Ah gwan

I could use a new one

oh no - is it a bit racist? No it is not - can't think how - oh no but if it is glaring racist then I might be a racist and I bought the t-shirt. I always fall into racist traps on mn.

I have lost the sodding pe bags in my feral nest of a house.

Sod, bollocks, bum.

I suppose it might be, or the voices they do might be. If I remember the programme in question.

Off to google.

I just wonder if the appeal of it in the UK is bound up with laughing at Japanese people

however I don't really know much about it except that I found it scary and dp is very fond of it

Yes, it might be.

Although more diverse forms of Japanese culture have become influencial since then, so things have improved a little.

Yes it is kind of popular in a post modern ironic kind of way now I suppose [fret] [hand wring]

anyway, have eaten kidney beans, mushrooms, peppers, corn, carrots FROM OUR GARDEN, cabbage and tomatoes
