Plump up the yam, til your beet are stompin, and the jam is pumpkin - 10/10 Club

[ahundredtimes]

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

Possum - I ran out of money and traded in dd for a crate of satsumas. It was a fair exchange.

I've also run out of commas.

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

ds is a donkey in his school nativity
I have to make him a costume

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah....a shepherd,a king etc I could manage.....but a donkey....gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

Is he the ears or the tail? Can you club together with the mother of the other half of the donkey??

he is all of it

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP

Oh grey tights, grey jumper, grey eyore tail made with tights stuffed with something and a black bit at the end, and erm, ears on a hairband.

There we go. Excellent.

I haven't mentioned the free rice because I keep getting a lower score than everyone else

LL - Hire one?

I am not even LOOKING at the freerice thing

I have had avocado, tomato and red peppers in a pitta with cream cheese

it is raining. Apparently we are making me some flowers and then some playdough. I wonder how much sofa lying I can get done in between those.

I had one go. I got up to 48, then had a bad run and ended at 44. The bowl filled up mind you.

oh and apparently I am teaching ds to play Scrabble this afternoon

now where did he get that idea from?

can i just say who ever thought up that thread title is a genius i have been laffing at it for the last three hours

Oh thank you dressed up it was me

100x, are you going to come and hold my hand in the shoe shop?

I did the free rice thing last night. Didn't get above 46 I don't think BUT I was so tired that at one point I saw "CORRECT" at the top and tried to find the definition for that
It made me go to bed far too late.

Mirror mirror on the wall
who is the thickest 10/10er of all?

None of us are thick. can't be with our fabulous diets

I think logic helps a lot with the free rice thing. I kept having to switch off the smart-arse part of my brain and listen to the observant, logical bit. It's like finding connections between foreign words and Engliosh ones and working out how they developed. I love it.

Whatever Engliosh is

I haven't gone above 43.

I am not entirey sure about some of the answers though (defiant emoticon).

phew!

TooT, you're right, it's all about etymology IMO. I read a lot of languages (used to believe I could speak them too, until I wound up in foreign climes, declaimed proudly and expressively - so I thought- and the locals looked back at me blankly then addressed me in pitying, perfect English) and that's probably why I reached and remained stuck at 50. Which I have been informed is the peak. Which means it's all downhill from here.
I'm just a word sponge and really quite thick. E.G. I have no idea how to freeze things. I've just discovered all my home-made soups exploded and in a frozen entangled goo in my freezer. I could go on. Examples of my idiocy are manifold each day.

Yesterday, when we stepped outside the front gate, DS1 found a three one pound coins parked under the hedge.

If someone had dropped them they would have been scattered.

He thinks it was a tooth-fairy suffering from flight exhaustion. It was odd.

Common sense and intelligence are completely unrelated. Logic falls somewhere in the middle, I think.
