'Women on the Veg of Reason' 10/10 club - all welcome

[Boco]

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

No not teasing. I've never been opposed to mooncups per se but just about women talking about their periods, because of that friend's mother with her horrible food going on about having a period all the time - I have told you this. I might get a mooncup - I thought that thread was good and everyone seemed so pleased with it.

Boco, that is a story. Tell your FIL that to stop him talking about allotments.

Right, pavlova.

Isn't my life repetitive? Sitting here on mn when I'm supposed to be whipping up some masterwork for dcs birthday, which will then fail and I'll come back and panic.

I am briefly popping in. We had sausage casserole. And many vegetables.

I am going to write more tomorrow, o nthings other people have written about already and be behind the times but the thoughts go round my head so you may as well get the benefit(?) of them.

Am going to bed soon. I am tired. Always at the moment, which is somewhat frustarting.

Shall I get a mooncup? I use washable towels, which is OK I think.

Boco - your post about breastfeeding till the last minute has made me go all funny. Maybe because my Lo is 8 months as well.

I have one sister. She is 7.5 years younger than me.

MrsC she didn't keep her that long - only 2 weeks, and just stayed in the hospital with her. But it seems brave to have bf, knowing how bonding that is. She then went to a foster family. Now it's frowned upon to have white families adopting a black baby - or a white baby going to a black family. It must have been really hard for her - we usually lived in rural places where she was the only black person for miles.

100x, how come you watched the Bratz movie? Maybe that's why they didn't go in and see it after all, they got there and dd said they stood around for ages and changed their minds.

gosh....have just caught up
you are all so lovely & so amazing
this thread enthralls me...you all do

100x.....am so sorry about last night...I was low & in a funny mood & didn't mean to not reply to your lovely posts...i am deeply grateful for your concern & advice.....i feel bad ...am sorry

Is Bee ok?
Has anyone heard from her?

everyone has run away.................
or playing scrabble

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Oh I see, Boco. That was very brave of her, a really special thiing to do. My sister lived with us for six months, then she was adopted. I think my mum had a nervous breakdown, I don't remember much about it but I remember her.

wow Boco...that is really fascinating....what film is it by the way?

oh, in my excitement I forgot something far more important.

We are reallllly proud of es He was chosen to take part in a video philosphy project, that will be shown at a conference, to make a point of why philosophy should be offered in the generic curriculum of all secondary schools...they chose 2 of each class....it's such a boost for him....he doesn't find learnign that easy in general, and well, he must obvioulsy have shown some potential, iykwim...

Oh, no, Lullaby, that's all you need. Was it, um, contained?

ha!
I knew you were here really
errrrr no.....is the answer to the sick question but i cannot deal with it tonight

Gosh Boco...

Gosh MrsC...

LL hope DS is OK?

I am not playing scrabble, I am going to bed. Shortly.

i mean.....i have changed ds,the bed,my bed,removed the bed side ,cuddlies etc......
i cannot deal with the washing of it

no, you must deal with it tomorrow. Poor you, hopefully that will be it and he'll feel better in th morning

I would very much like to paddle round the world (maybe after I have finished my game of scarbble).

he had jelly
he had a biscuit
he had a pain au raisin

at friends house
all non organic,non home made....i think his body went into shock at toxic overload....
poor little chap

he kept saying...i'm so sorry mama...i couldn't keep it in

3and, more great news

I love it when we have got things to celebrate, it feels really good to share them with you all

Lully oh no! On the clean white sheets and all

100 I am sorry I forgot. It is easy to just let these things turn into a joke and a bit lazy. I am glad the thread encouraged you. I might get some at wholesale price next month if you want a slightly cheaper one, although I think bodykind have a good offer on atm?

ds was most disgusted not to be allowed on the boat...after asking the sky news man to excuse me so he could climb up

he also was deeply disturbed at the apparant lack of sea

Yes, great news 3andnomore.

I just raced to get a glass when dd showed me a long purply rash on her leg saying it didn't hurt. It came off on the glass

That's good news 3! Can't remember the name of the film, i don't think it was a very good film, probably late 70's - someone quite famous though. I remember watching it years ago.

obviously I am pleased it came off...

has anyone ever seen the Billy Connely sick fairy sketch?

the one about the carrot? (sorry mrs c)

the one where he enquires why even if you havn't eaten carrot...there are always pieces of carrot in sick....

because the carrot fairy comes

well....ds had no carrot today....the carrot fairy definately came......big time
