Anne of Green Gages - 10 / 10 thread, all welcome

188 replies

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 i remember - it was a pretty good gag - she said she wanted to have the thread deleted because there were too many c's on this thread [edited incase toots is really getting annoyed], and then she said by c's, she meant herself franny and 100. And franny snorted. It was funny.

oh yes that was it [beams]

it was funny, very funny

BBB please don't censor yourself anymore. I am only going to badger everyone to repeat what you said because it made me laugh, anyway. And if we can't say rude things, to make each other snort, late at night on this thread, then I am not coming on here anymore.

I don't get the TooT / 100 argument thing

TooT you weren't really cross were you? Do you mind us swearing, truly? I need somewhere I can come and be sweary if I want to. I spend my whole day saying "gosh" and "blimey".

Neither do I? Who is cross? About the swearing?

lionheart · 09/09/2007 22:15

Sorry, sleep has deprived brain of vital connections. Has there been unhappiness here?

TooTicky · 09/09/2007 22:16

Can I just point out that I wasn't actually offended by the cunts, just ... actually, I can't quite remember what my point was. Oh yes, I was just amused because 100x was telling BBB it was all okay and that nobody minded but that she'd Made It Worse. So I ed.
Thanks for the songs - I could get pedantic over the words but I won't
I have just settled ds2 and dd2 to UB40 - it is cathartic and agonising at the same time.
Now ds1 is waiting for me with a book and omg why is it so late?

lionheart · 09/09/2007 22:17

What a shame about UB40. Are they your very most favourite TooT or do you just like them rather a lot?

ahundredtimes · 09/09/2007 22:18

lol.

I honestly think that TooT thought I was winding BBee up, rather than objecting to the language.

Also she was cross with me because I told her I spied on her in the park, and she got weirded out and didn't realize I was teasing. (Even though you were also there, leering after teenage skateboarders).

TooTicky · 09/09/2007 22:18

He is asleep. I tiptoed back down gratefully.

ahundredtimes · 09/09/2007 22:19

Oh X-post. Sorry.

Oh LOL, I get it now

100 said "oh don't worry BBB (you made it worse but never mind)"

and Toots said "oh make her feel BETTER why don't you"

TooTicky · 09/09/2007 22:21

Yes, my very most favourite Lionheart. Every so often I think, maybe I don't like them so much any more, in a huffy sort of unrequited way, and then I listen to their music and love them again implicitly.
I went and joined Robin's snooker club once. I was supposed to be looking around Birmingham uni. I met Robin and Astro and James... but not Ali

this thread went a bit wrong didn't it, shall we have a sparkly new one again in the morning like we usually do on Mondays?

OP posts:
TooTicky · 09/09/2007 22:24

Yes, make a new one. Hopefully we have finished being weird and cryptic with one another. And I can just forget about the fact that I have missed UB40 AGAIN.

lionheart · 09/09/2007 22:24

Yes, but the person who named it might feel short-changed.

3andnomore · 09/09/2007 22:24

lol...it might be a good idea...I mean, tis alright between us 10/10ers that know for a while...but we might shock someone harmlessly wandering in...lol...

TooTicky · 09/09/2007 22:24

Okay, what title?

TooTicky · 09/09/2007 22:25

Can we make something of Anne of Windy Willows?

3andnomore · 09/09/2007 22:25

no idea...I am rubbish at being witty

Boco · 09/09/2007 22:36

Hey wah-hoah there! This was my moment! I made up this title, and its my very first and best - and it's been ruined with cunts and 's and now everyone wants to just jump ship? No way! Lets stick this out, together - we're totally fibre loving wholesome types who can weather this little tiny - whatever it was, i think we were all being charming to each other actually.

But if not, then the gourd ones were all mine too. So actually that's fine.

LOLOLOL

oh dear

oh dear well you can choose the next title Boco

I do think we should have another one, just because it will feel wrong not having a new thread on Monday, otherwise

and we have mostly been a bit crap this weekend and I think we should start afresh

so what it is to be? In Gourd We Trust? I love that one.
