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

There once was a poster called hundred
About whose life we all wondered
We know she loves brie
And drinking coffee
But her days on MN now seem numbered

that one wrote itself (I couldn't have written anything so dire) but I hope it is not true

FrannylinePankhurst · 13/09/2007 22:37

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving ---->
But I guess that's just the way this flouncing goes,
You never
But in your posts your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

No I can't forget the handbag
And the stupid playground cowbag
Ah, we had you here but then we let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

We cant post
If posting is without you
We can't post

I've already got my coat, but I'll get my bag as well

lionheart · 13/09/2007 22:38

lol

TooTicky · 13/09/2007 22:39

I'm just sitting here in slow-witted awe.

FrannylinePankhurst · 13/09/2007 22:40

BBB did you get my email? It's been a bit random this week and people haven't got stuff. All that stuff about the nature events you sent was brilliant. I am putting it on hold for now (cold feet, literally and metaphorically), but I met a woman who knows a man who might be able to get me in with someone in the council. And they might pay me to do it, possibly.

Carotte · 13/09/2007 22:40

That was so heartfelt. I loved it. She will come back. She loves us too and will miss us keenly.

FrannylinePankhurst · 13/09/2007 22:41

I have that song stuck in my head now

if she ever comes back she'll be scared, won't she?

Boco · 13/09/2007 22:42

Hello tatties. DD2 was a high needs baby, but a low needs toddler.

Yesterday, Idris felt sad
She's better today,and i'm very glad

Not sure what it was about
She's not the sort to fuss and shout

Luckily she climbed out of the hole
So now she is a cheerier soul

We filled it in with junk and brie
On the top we'll plant a fruit tree.

Good lord that one was bad idris sorry.

TooTicky · 13/09/2007 22:42

Then you need fairy boots Franny. That will sort out your cold feet. What did you think of them? I keep going back to the site and gazing.

FrannylinePankhurst · 13/09/2007 22:44

TooT I thought "SIXTY-EIGHT POUNDS????!"

BBBee · 13/09/2007 22:45

i liked that one boco

IdrisTheDragon · 13/09/2007 22:46

I heart the poem Boco .

Are you all packed Franny? When do you leave? Will you miss us?

TooTicky · 13/09/2007 22:47

But they are lovingly handmade and would last for years....

BBBee · 13/09/2007 22:47

no email from you fran.

Now I shall use an emoticon thing (which I hardly ever do)

there.

BBBee · 13/09/2007 22:47

(TT they are also a bit horrible)

BBBee · 13/09/2007 22:48

OH FUCK TT - you don;t make them do you?

(wishes hadn't skim read post)

TooTicky · 13/09/2007 22:49

Noooooooooooooooooo!

Well, okay, some of them are a little odd. But some are works of art.

TooTicky · 13/09/2007 22:50

No, I'm not that clever

We don't know

she said she has annoyed herself which I think is a euphemism for something

(and in my self-obsessed way I think it is a euphemism for "Franny has pissed me off with her dogmatic views and unappreciation for all the helpful advice I have given her" )

if it is that 100 please tell me to bugger off

BBB sorry, I thought as much when I didn't hear back. I think asked you a question but I can't remember what it was now! It was all very helpful, thank you for writing it down.

Idris no I don't think we are all packed. I have done my bit and dp is playing DS Lite I am going tomorrow and I will miss you and I bet there WILL be wifi hotspots there and dp is just being an arse.

BBBee · 13/09/2007 22:55

for franny

Frannyisgoingonholiday · 13/09/2007 22:56

Hello Paps! I am going to a festival so dp can look at men with big beards, while ds runs around semi naked talking to strangers
