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

[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

oh I meant they might come on here to read about fruit

you are all making me LOL tonight

Well we REALLY don't want them then do we? Do we? They sound like crashing bores to me.

I am having a Halloween party here tomorrow

I love Halloween

I have got a big gigantic purple hat covered in feathers, it is masterful

I don't know

I kind of started the thread for them

but they seem to have been chased away by a load of loons of late

Oh yes, it sounds like a masterwork. I don't want to think about any celebrations for anyone other than ME forever. I find Halloween a strain.

Sorry, god, I'm moaning tonight.

What's the story with Boco's dd's? Have they improved at all?
dd and I went to the park and collected things on an autumnal theme and then came back and stuck them on bits of cardboard. She had a nervous breakdown over the pine cone not sticking on in THE RIGHT PLACE or IN THE RIGHT WAY. I struggled to summon up much interest tbh.

LOONS?

We are Aunts-to-be and feeling bustley

We are driven by the desire to follow our chief loon. We will all go out tomorrow and buy purple feathery hats.

Oh I love the aunts to be

please come and bustle in RL, I wish you would

100 I think you can have a big gold star for even trying

And we do sort of mention fruit. Have I not been talking about this very attractive slice of lime, what, twice, no, three times, now?

We have Autumn things on the table - Boco said it looked very 10/20

I think her DD's are a bit better but her dp make them feel worse cooking fried potato

don't TooT because I will get all excited and then you won't do it

100 what is IN that cocktail?

Er, I'm not wearing a purple hat

But Lo has a baby pumpkin outfit

100x, shall we swap dds for a day? I will help your dd with autumnal art and you can be Annelike with dd1 who has moaned, whinged and shrieked obsessively a lot recently.

Why is he doing that? Is it something his mother used to do? Do I need to read the thread?

we have got a nature bowl, it looks so poncey but I love it. it has conkers and leaves and bark in it.

the earthy credentials are only slightly ruined by the floor to ceiling halloween shiny foil decorations

He fancied it, he brought home beans and wine and then fried potatoes. He was being a man.

Oh in the cocktail. Honestly, it's SO delicious. There is lime juice, amaretto and bourbon.

We also made Metropolitan's at the party. But they were pink and a bit fly-away I thought. This is substantial and rather medicinal, in a good way.

We have a nature house. It is full of conkers.

Franny, all the fruity aunties could weave you a lentilly square to make a patchwork lightweight summer sling soooooooooooooooooooooo excited for you!

I can't begin to imagine what that tastes like 100x.

Oh, I don't have a bowl. The gourds sort of roll around the table, though they start every day neatly by the sunflowers

TooT, not a bad idea. But if she shrieks at me and moans I shall say 'What are you on about? Have you ANY idea how tired I am? ' and I'm not sure it will go very well.

My dd would be delighted. I was nice in the park, but I got tired around the cardboard bit and kept thinking of reasons to slink off and stare out the window, which was BAD because this was OUR DAY etc etc etc.

what is bourbon? is it whisky? [appalled]

MrsC you could have guessed I would have my nature collection tidily CONFINED

Is it? I have no idea. It's an american thing I think. Oh dear, now I feel bad for talking about drink.

I am SO TIRED, I'm on auto pilot. I'm sorry. There is so much to do in life isn't there? And people always WANT THINGS.

Hallowe'en...well we have carved a pumpkin, and don;t usually go in for decoration really, but I do need to bake something for trick or treaters (our neighbours will come at least)...what shall I make?

Bearing in mind my lack of baking skills in general. I think I have some dubious green food colouring somehwere.
