Rock of 'gages cleft for me, let me hide my fruit in thee - 10/10 club, all welcome :o)

[TooTicky]

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.

Yes perhaps Avi. Though I thought that the way Franny pointed out that it is more complicated than that distinction - with the tooth brushing thing - was more persuasive really.

Because I can see that saying 'you have to brush your teeth' IS good parental choice, whereas 'you must not play with gender-specific toys or anything vaguely aggressive looking' is not quite in the same ball-park. For me, anyway, perhaps not for you.

Right TooT, my bath, my rules. There is shop bought pastry in the fridge. Could you bear it? Are you going to do your sad not shop bought face?

However there are apples from neighbour in a bag - might that persuade you more?

I am sitting here in a quandary of indecision. I am not good at deciding. You may already know this
I have to go to Trowbridge tomorrow anyway and that is on the way... but to drive or to bus? can't risk being late back to school. But if I drove you would see a mad, incompetent parker revving back and forth outside your house and think good god, I simply cannot let her in. And I drive a rather distinctive car. Oh, I want a bath!
(I also want to meet you )

And then there is the dalek.

Yes, Avi wasn't that what the whole discussion was about?
Exactly how you adjudicate and how you make the call about yourself?

TooT, Franny has my email and so does Boco. You are welcome to come. I am working here and so is dh all day - don't mind him though, we will give him warning. I shall discuss Russian novelists with dd and it will be good for the project, and when you come back we shall be pale and interesting looking and she'll roll her eyes at you and mouth 'get me out of here.'

I MUST go to bed. Is this going to turn into a shoes thing? Goodnight. Email if you want to come, do give me warning, i will need to clean it first.

I'll come!

I don't know your email though. Mine is [email protected]
DON'T clean anything!

I'll come for a bath and the floor and the pastry too.

100 is it your ds's birthday today? I am having trouble keeping up. Did you get a present?

Ds woke up very upset this morning "I wish we were at Grandma's". I said "well are there things you are missing about Grandma's house, perhaps we could do them here?" (yes I know this was asking for trouble but I am masochist)

"Yes there is something I want but I can't tell you because you will just say no."

"Oh ok then it is because I WANT TO GET DOWN FROM THE TABLE AND PLAY A BIT BEFORE I HAVE MY PUDDING WAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

I said he can, sometimes.

I am thinking we should have boot camp, on Thursday, what do you think? I saw myself in the big clean mirror at my mother's (my mirrors tend to be all dusty and forgiving) and I look pasty, and thick waisted.

You all stay up late!

I'm very excited about the bath. Two veggers meeting for personal hygiene related activities. I wish we could watch. (not the actual bath bit, i'm not a pervert) But i would like to understand the pink rubber flooring. Is it a fetishistic thing?

It's book week today and the children had to go dressed up. We have a hand made (not by me) giant cat outfit, it's so furry and all over and dd looks like an ewok in it. It's fantastic. I have to show you a picture from last year, - on the way to school cars were slowing down to stare. She was walking all droopy and saying 'everyone will laugh at me', and i was saying 'of course! but in a good way!'. She was mobbed at the gates, larger children were picking her up, a strange woman hugged her. ONly the head turned her back completely as we approached. Tempted to flick her the v's.

DD1 back to lying on the sofa wheezing and its' damp and cold so i dont know how to get out. I want to come and look at fetish flooring - i can bring dps russian novels!

Oh i meant dd2 on the sofa, it's so confusing with the numbers.

Franny once you posted a link to a product that keeps you looking all luminous - what was it? The link didn't work and it's bothered me as i imagine there's some miracle cream that would stop me looking grey and pasty. There is isn't there?

Boco, she didn't actually admit that it was fetish flooring.

Boot camp good idea (I'd loved to have seen your face when your DS finally said what he wanted, Franny).

Possum, love that whole analogy.

Hello, everyone.

It is NOT fetish flooring, it is pink and has bumps in it. Is very groovy. I might show TooT another bathroom on the top floor, that has turquoise rubber flooring. She can chose.

I am not actually a proper vegger though am I? I am looking about my house wondering what I should remove in case TooT does decide to turn up in her distinctive car. There is a lot to chose from, everything suddenly looks very incriminating when seen through her eyes. Also no vegan bath products. I think she is going to hate me.

I am going to make her sign a confidentiality agreement. Hah.

See, that's what I thought, cool and groovy and not fetishistic at all.

The fetish word didn't enter my head until someone else mentioned it.

I can't really imagine what you need to hide. Picturing your house littered with empty gin bottles, cheese string wrappers and packets of Lambert and Butler maybe? You're a semi-vegger like me, lentil leanings rather than a fully operational weaver.

Pink rubber is fetish. Is it on the walls too?

It's an interesting question. What would you hide if you were hosting a meet-up?

My house. That would be easy enough, i could just toss a blanket over it.

Franny you are a hard woman! (we could do with some rules in this house, especially at mealtimes)

Distinctive car on my profile.

100x, I have replied

Hand-knitted with naturally dyed wool, I hope?
