I Started Pumpkin I Couldn't Finish - 10 / 10 club

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

Ecover also have (or had, I think) links with Group 4

TooT that cleaner looks great. I love Green People products and I am so happy to buy their stuff as they are such an ethical company. I know their hair products are very concentrated, I presume the cleaner is the same?

franny I am craving cake on your behalf. Is that okay?

ahundredtimes · 04/11/2007 22:14

Oh titles - I love the titles here, they're funny, I can't pun AT ALL.

I was thinking about something like 'Please to remember, 5th of November, sun flower, teas and shallots.'

It's rubbish isn't it?

TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:15

Yes Franny, just a drop works wonders. Even in this house

MrsC - AAAAARRRGGGHHHH! Why do some of my emails just wander off? I was just saying how pleased I was really. And asserting that OF COURSE I will still be your friend

TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:17

That is fabulous 100x! CAn I add, "I see no reason why cauliflower unseasoned should ever be forgot." ?

TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:17

And maybe peas instead of teas?

ahundredtimes · 04/11/2007 22:18

Oh TooT - that is SO MUCH better. I like that.

TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:19

Oh, you could put chowder in as well, couldn't you?
What is chowder? Is it soup?

ahundredtimes · 04/11/2007 22:19

Of course, peas not teas. Doh.

I'm enjoying this creative partnership.

FrannyandZooey · 04/11/2007 22:19

Yes, I thought of clam chowder, but I thought of all that stuff about rape of the oceans malarky, and decided against in case I was asked to leave, but I think you can suggest it because you have Superior Cleaning Products.

FrannyandZooey · 04/11/2007 22:20

I know peas is good but I like the neatness of "sunflower seeds and shallots" personally

OP posts:
TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:20

Okay then....
Please to remember the 5th of November, veg chowder , peas and shallots,
I see no reason why cauliflower unseasoned should ever be forgot.

FrannyandZooey · 04/11/2007 22:21

at rape of oceans rearing its fishy head again

OP posts:
TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:21

Oh YES, sunflower seeds! Genius!

FrannyandZooey · 04/11/2007 22:22

and yes I do KNOW sunflower seeds are not a vegetable before we start all that again

but they are v 10 / 10 ish

MrsCarrot · 04/11/2007 22:22

Yes, I had some chowder, season plot thing going on in my mind but couldn't finish it or make it work

ahundredtimes · 04/11/2007 22:22
TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:22

Can't you get sweetcorn chowder? Or am I imagining it? Not that it matters now.

TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:24

Who was joking? What have I missed?

ahundredtimes · 04/11/2007 22:24

Right here we go then:

Please to remember 5th November, Sun flower seeds and shallots.'

ahundredtimes · 04/11/2007 22:25

Oh and then 'cauliflower unseasoned should never be forgot'

TooTicky · 04/11/2007 22:28

That's that sorted then.

ahundredtimes · 04/11/2007 22:30

You know how it always Lennon and McCartney, unless you're McCartney then it says McCartney and Lennon.

Will be be like that TooT? I might be. We might have artistic differences and fall out.

BBBee · 04/11/2007 22:32

oh that is good. I was going to be all flicky and sulky but it is so seasonally perfect that I endorse it heartily.

In ds's school they said a prayer and tahnked god for bonfire night - isn't that like asking god to endorse guy fawkes? I did a snort and got a stare. That happens quite a lot.

100x did you wear a special push up bra and low cut black top to be a witch?
