'All things fruit and vegetable all beetroots great and small' 10/10 Club - all welcome-

[Carotte]

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

Phew!

I'm still alive?

Toot!!

Here, have a beetroot

Thanks. There's nothing like a near death experience to shake the nerves.

Toot - you start a fire, I'm nipping to Waitrose to get some provisions. I'll bring you apple crumble booja booja and some prossecco for my nerves.

You go and look, I'll hide behind this rock

OMG well done thank the lord

I was reading that awful Truby King thing with my mouth open and forgot all about you

when I came back I saw 1001 posts thought we were up the swannee without a paddle for a moment

and you know you were right about the peaches thing, I forgot that

why are we on a BEACH?

Noooooooo not Waitrose. Find a nice little independent shop. But yes please to the chocs.

Hoorah

Just like to swear myself in under the not taking offense thingummybob

I never take offense and I never intend any, I am always at least 10 posts behing everyone else and I go to bed early

Yesterday was a write off f&v wise, for various reasons, although I did have some pea and mint soup

I went to a works thin last night and it was a bit of an ordeal

I therefore feel a bit lonely and snivelly today. You know that feeling when you think everyone knows everyone else better than you, and aren;t interested in you, but then you hope fervently that it's just that they are dull people and so you didn;t want them to be your best mates anyway

I hope FMV is having a great time

DS has been to get a haircut with DH and has a black adder fringe

It's a nice day, why shouldn't we be on a beach?

Pssst, you can come out now. She forgot about us, Toot, and there we were in high winds and rain trying to save it!

I vote we don't save her a booja booja.

oh tut tut Carotte no links

FK, that work thing sounds horrid, but Carotte has gone to buy chocolates for us all so you will feel better soon.

Ok I am going to Waitrose a very small shop to get your chocolate

FK that sounds v unsettling

Well, I was like, nearly dead and everything.

why are we starting a new thread by eating CHOCOLATE I would like to know?

[pick pick pick]

I saved her with a beetroot

It is apple crumble chocolate

was it great or small TooT?

Toffe apple crumble booja booja. That's fruit and beans, that is.

How can chocolate be apple crumble? You are delirious from your Near death experience

Oh, definitely one of the great ones.
