In Gourd We Trust - 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

Bee, your rhymes are dark and always involve either murder or maiming.

oh god they do don;t they!

No wait - I did one about trifle - no-one died in that.

I took my cat to the vets today to have his bollocks chopped off. I feel really guilty - I now have a cat eunach.

100 is wathcing joh hurt so I know she isn;t lurking. I am like a detectve me.

Have you seen our good friend Anne
She decided not to visit
She's changed her status into lurker
Which isn't decent is it?

She's probably silently watching cod
Talking about her bum hole
And trying really hard not to type
Something short and droll.

Down in a west country pile
there lived a mysterious guirl,
her name was one hundred
she bowed in conundrum
and questionined 10/10 all the whierle

you know that anne
she's really a man
she posts on our thread for a laugh

she did tell me
that it's true about the brie
and she also ate a whole raw calf

Help - you are all doing Poetry.

I don't do Poetry.

But I will appreciate the Poetry everyone else does .

oh idris idris - how are you today?

a hundred times
most shocking crimes
was to be a little callous
da dee dee, da da, deee
something something phallus

Idris has a filled hole.

I've turned into des lawson on mango.

100 got a bit nimpsky
on a thread about natasha kaplinsky
it won;t be the same
oh who will explain
when it all gets too complekinsky

franny has gone
to see a warbling man
and avi has gone off to france
100's run away
zippi's gone to zimbabwae*

and boco and I have written lots of poems..

(*I know she went to Egypt but I couldn't make it rhyme)

There
was a new
girl here
called
Ann

whose
cunning
mysterious
plan

was
to get
us all
curious

perplexed
and delirious
in awe

of mysterious
hands
that eat
soups

from the
monarchy's
land

and she's
probably
ever so
grand

and was
in a cool
teenage girl
band

and I've
run out of
and sounding
words, and

and

and...

Hee, Hee

BBB.

I am improved .

have climbed out of my hole which everyone has been kindly filling in so I don't get into it again. We may plant vegetables on top.

Can someone make that into poetry?

Idris, I thought of you earlier, as I walked through my garden. DH recently dug a fruit tree up and obviously filled the hole in...(looks like we buried someone there actually, lol)....so, had to think of you and that hole...

Why are you writing poetry? I have walked 7 or 8 miles today, mostly with dd2 on my back

I am very tired and scarily menstrual and keep overflowing my mooncup.

100 has given up carbs,
so on mnet she's firing barbs,
stunned by her behaviour
there's nothing to save her,
she's lurking with coffee in bath

EW, Toot, that won't entice 100x back will it?

We are writing silly ditties. BBBee is doing here nude in pasties.

Oh. Ah. Um.

100x, come back please and I will menstruate silently

Evening

Is Franny on the stairs now?

As several of you know I am another of the co-sleeping variety... However I would say my AP leanings are in reaction to having such a high needs child. Had ds just gone to sleep by himself in his cot I wouldn't have tried to do things any other way. Totally agree with you Possum about our society just not being geared up to parent this way though... without any family close enough to give me practical support I am finding motherhood very hard.

Boco, wasn't here yesterday but hope you had a lovely birthday

Hey ho, Tatties.

Oh NOW you are all here being hilarious

I wasn't on the stairs, it gives me carpet burn

I was packing
