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.

Toot - I command you to go and wash

TooTicky · 16/10/2007 10:11

Ach, plans scuppered by defective email. And now dd2 is tearful and likely to fall asleep.

'We were discussing butchers, daleks, fags and fetishism'

Had I known it was this sort of thread I would of signed up ages ago

MrsCarrot · 16/10/2007 10:12

Why do we have a berry dripping vulva for a title?

MrsCarrot · 16/10/2007 10:14

There must be a way round the problem, Toot, can't you wait by the bandstand in the park with your flannel?

lionheart · 16/10/2007 10:14

Where? Have you been reading that Rossetti woman again?

SauerKraut · 16/10/2007 10:14

It is a HYMN, MrsC or am I the only one who was dragged to church as a brat?

TooTicky · 16/10/2007 10:15

The dalek is currently under 2 inches high and looks like a small hat - not sure what size it is going to be.

And dp named at least 3 brands he considers worse than L&B.

Hello Gibbon.

MrsCarrot · 16/10/2007 10:15

Oh, sorry, no I did not attend church. I was a brownie for a bit though.

lionheart · 16/10/2007 10:17

lol TooT. He must be a connoisseur.

SauerKraut · 16/10/2007 10:17

Well I only did when I couldn't get out of it. And even then, my brother and I used to black out letters in the service sheets to see who could make the rudest sentences!

GibbonInABloodSoakedRibbon · 16/10/2007 10:17

Hello lionheart

TooTicky · 16/10/2007 10:19

Well, he has smoked some shit.
Mind you, when I went to Russia years ago I smoked some rough things, and they were the more expensive ones. The cheap ones looked half empty and people just threw them into bins still lit.

I went to Quaker meetings as a child. My mother took me to church once, fgeeling it was the sort of thing she ought to do, and apparently I asked after why That Man was so cross. She felt this maybe wasn't quite the right sort of impression and we didn't go again.

MrsCarrot · 16/10/2007 10:22

I want to go to Russia. There were Russian people on the table behind us at dinner last night and I kept listening to them instead of DH. He got annoyed in the end.

Boco · 16/10/2007 10:23

Hello MrsC, glad you're back. Have you been productive? Can i come and see your bathroom?

Hello Gibbon, i like your Halloween name, i still haven't found one i like. What do you think of Bocowithbubblingbrains.

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2007 10:24

MrsC hoorah!

You are all here and all chatting and I must clean up the house, I must. I have 1.5 hours while ds is at nursery

and you all SMOKE! I am so jealous. You all smoke, and you look young, and I have given up, and look like a hag. I am cross with you all and will make you all do bootcamp.

TooTicky · 16/10/2007 10:24

Russia was amazing. As a vegan on a budget I lived on bananas, bread, plain chocolate and afizzy kiwi fruit drink. I would love to go there again one day. But eat better!

OP posts:
TooTicky · 16/10/2007 10:25

I don't smoke any more.

You may come and see my bathroom, Boco, yes, when you come for lunch, but it isn't very noteworthy. Certainly no rubber other than a duck.

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2007 10:26

I want 100 to install a webcam so we can watch the meeting and the bath and the pink vinyl.

Boco it is Boots Time Delay Restore Radiance ( at name). It makes you look pearly and shiny, which I have convinced myself is good. Possibly I just look like a wrinkly person with a pearly shiny veneer, but it FEELS good.

SauerKraut · 16/10/2007 10:26

What did you do there? I mean were you working or travelling round?

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2007 10:27

We will have bootcamp on Thursday because I am working tomorrow, so everyone has plenty of notice to buy lots of fruit and work out an exercise plan and stuff. I am serious here.

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2007 10:28

I am going to sit here talking to myself while you all discuss Russia and daleks until someone tells me to go and clean the house.
