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

I am going to live with Avi. She has Dogwood too.

Well, yes, and cakes and things apparantly. Where is it do you think? Somewhere beautiful and empty with clear lucid light and fresh food off the fields.

I think its Guernsey in about 1928.

MrsCarrot · 03/10/2007 20:43

Kamut cakes. They were very tasty. I love afternoon tea. I may be in Bristol this weekend, 100x, I could bring some shop cake if you like.

MrsCarrot · 03/10/2007 20:43

Or I could camp out in the park and look out for the bag.

ahundredtimes · 03/10/2007 20:45

lol. You could probably spot my bag from Bristol. What are you doing there? Is a long drive non?

BBBee · 03/10/2007 20:46

oh god boco - they didn't have theory tests when I did mine they just did those questions at the end. One of mine was "what spped should you be going on the slip road of the motorway?"

LL- the hair thing is not nice and it i not vain - it is an identity thing - are you thinking a kind of flapper girl type hat - that would be good.

lionheart · 03/10/2007 20:51

Boco, there are only two rules you need to remember.

  1. Do not put oil in the water tank because eventually, just as you are leaving London and heading for the M4 in the middle of the Friday

night rush-hour, it will cause you car to explode. When the only person to help is the lovely young man wearing an expensive suit and

driving a Porsche who rolls up his sleeves and pushes your car to the side of the slip-road, you will promise never to be judgey about

money grasping capitalist poseurs again. (Or make jokes about car size and penis envy).

MrsCarrot · 03/10/2007 20:52

Dh is working, he is away a lot at the moment and only has short bits to do there so he suggested we all go and do something interesting, stay in a nice hotel maybe. I doubt I will tbh, like you say, it's a very long drive. I forget you're not in Bristol though.

How are you, BBBee?

  1. And when you pass you test and head out for the motorway for the first time do not throw a lighted cigarette out of the window

because it will blow back into you car. You will not realise this until the back seat catches fire and you find yourself flinging water over

your shoulder in the direction of the smoke while trying to control the vehicle.

MrsCarrot · 03/10/2007 20:54

I am having new dogwood, next week, it won't be red yet I don't think.

I have thought about inviting my mother.

Oh go MrsC, go and stay in Hotel du Vin and take dcs to SS Great Britain. Will be great. Or meet half-way somewhere off the M4. Oh go on. I fancy a weekend mini-break myself.

But I will be making (whispers) burgers and chips and pouring (mouths) coca-cola for hungry boys who have just fnished spending two hours shooting each other in a wood.

Sigh. Happy days.

lionheart · 03/10/2007 20:59

Mrsc, MrC, come into the scrabble thread.

lionheart · 03/10/2007 21:00

Bitter, expensive experience.

MrsCarrot · 03/10/2007 21:01

No no, I will not stray onto the scrabble thread or drift down to Bristol.

No, I did not. He called the RAC for me. It was freezing and dark and I had to wait three hours for them to turn up.

And I had to wee in a tupperware box.

I am over it though.

lionheart · 03/10/2007 21:07

Oh, MrsC,

"Censor the body and you censor breath and speech at the same time. Write yourself. Your body must be heard."

C'mon ...

MrsCarrot · 03/10/2007 21:07

why in a box? Was there no bush?

lionheart · 03/10/2007 21:10

It was the slip road leading to the M4. No bushes and about seven hundred cars crawling past every hour. It was damn tricky.

BBBee · 03/10/2007 21:10

because the porsche suit man wated it as a presentmaybe?
