Tutti frutti - all booty - 10/ 10 club BOOT CAMP - all sign in and line up for parade

[FrannyandZooey]

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 used to sell those china teasets in the wicker baskets...you can get two sizes in the teddy bear ones

No Franny you weren't being an arse, you just didn't sound right.

FMF you don't sound 12! I have never liked my voice

Oh, shall I give everyone a laugh with my new DM-inspired thread title idea?

oh go on, I am doing Kegels in preparation

oops that came out bitchy! sorry

LOL ok. But you won't approve of it.

I PEEL YOU

Avi, didn't look into it seriously but had seen some programmes, read some articles and spoke to someone who lived in the village. We wanted to go and have a trial holiday there but never quite got round to it.
Anyway, we Decided my eldest ds was too old to transplant to middle of nowhere and make him be a tree-hugging veggie. Still have vague fantasies though....maybe I'll do it when the boys have left home

I secretly covet those sliceable wooden vegetables.

I don't think I have an accent, although ds1 sometimes sounds rather Londony and I wonder if that is me. I did everything I could to avoid picking up a Bristolian accent at school - they hated me for it. I used to come over all Lancashire when I visited my dad and grandmother, although they had the posh, non-accent version. But still Lancs.
And sometimes when I answer the phone, people ask to speak to my mummy or daddy

LL, Chinese stew because I started with sesame oil (run out of sunflower and olive), added ginger and what I deemed appropriate veg. It was jolly nice, if a little too gingery for the boys.

What is DM? It's not Doc Marten is it? [dunce]

LOL @ I peel you and everyone carrying on talking politely around it

Avi I don't see why

dp is being an arse. I think he thinks he is being assertive but he is in fact just refusing to do everything I ask him to, and I really need some fucking help here!

Fmf, have I missed pics of your cake?

I still have two cakes to make WITHOUT AN OVEN> Ha!

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode

LOL I nearly put an after mine Tatties, it would have looked funny above yours

then realised all my posts are coming out grumpy not humourous and realised had better not

Hello TooTicky. Where is the DM? I have lost it.

Have now realised .

We have neither china teasets nor wooden vegetables. Are DS and DD deprived?

Ah. I don't think I could name one of their songs.

Franny does he not realise you were upset earlier?

LOL of course! That was why I was upset!

TooT you can now, it is "I peel you"

(I am not actually concerned about my children being deprived by the way. But possibly I am deprived )
