They're Changing Chard At Butternut Palace, Crispy Rocket Went Down With Radish - 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

but she looks so dazzling, so beguiling, so intelligent and alluring and marvellous.

How awful none of you spoke to her, how awful none of you can lay claim to her.

I was trapped behind a table. And franny's head. After my mother telling me i am fat of face yesterday i'm quite relieved.

FrannyandZooey · 20/11/2007 22:31

nope

I think she came in to clean the toilets

FrannyandZooey · 20/11/2007 22:31

nope

I think she came in to clean the toilets

FrannyandZooey · 20/11/2007 22:31

oh

a couple of times

MrsCarrot · 20/11/2007 22:35

Toot is right, 100x, your post was riddled with smuggery.

Boco - what did you say when your mother said that.

Franny - this is late for you

MrsCarrot · 20/11/2007 22:36

that sounded like the cat in the hat for some reason

TooTicky · 20/11/2007 22:36

I thought she was rather sweet.
She had a funny accent though.

I have some worrying news. Remember that funny man sitting in the corner - i have a feeling it was ahundredtimes come to spy How else would she know who we all were? He did look suspicious.

MrsC, i was outraged and offended of course. And told dp and made him repeat countless tiems that she was wrong.

TooTicky · 20/11/2007 22:40

What did you say when your mother said that?
When she said I was fat? I said, Fancy that!
Then a rat wandered past with a cat on a mat,
And a gnat and a bat fighting over a hat.

When my mother said that
I cried take it back
and gave her a whack
with the hood of my mac

MrsCarrot · 20/11/2007 22:42

I thought he was the manager disguised so he could count and see what we ate.

100x - you must have had a clue you can't have got it all right. You slipped Franny a fiver eh?

Boco - she sounds a bit like my mother who thinks I look nice when I'm a bit rounder, more matronly, I wouldn't like to be like her would I? She just can't keep the weight on.

Boco · 20/11/2007 22:44

But i am NOT rounder [weighs self neurotically

MrsCarrot · 20/11/2007 22:45

of course not, but maybe she needs to transpose your youthfulness into roundedness to make herself feel better. Some people do this.

ahundredtimes · 20/11/2007 22:46

No honest miss, was all my own work. But actually, there has been quite a bit of picture sharing on here already, and so there weren't that many unknown faces, and you had all described each other. So you know [small shrug] just idle genius at work really.

LOL @ disguise. Boco had the great misfortune to be treated to a character assasination of me by dh. He described me as rabbinical. It wasn't kind. We are still Having to Chat About It At Length Every Evening.

ahundredtimes · 20/11/2007 22:47

Perhaps your mother meant 'fuller' sort of 'full of joy' like that, 'full of joy in the face'. [clutches at straws].

Boco · 20/11/2007 22:48

Hmm maybe. She does say things like that a lot. Things about my eyes being too high up and forehead too short and stuff, always has. I hope that i give dds a positive self image. I'm sure i will, they're beautiful.

Boco · 20/11/2007 22:50

Oh that 'maybe' was to MrsC.

MrsCarrot · 20/11/2007 22:50

Yes, that's it, full of joy!

Rabbinical?? Is that because you have a hebrew name or do you look like a rabbi?

ahundredtimes · 20/11/2007 22:52

This is Under Discussion, Mrs C. I don't really have a hebrew name actually, not really. It's a perfectly common place name. Like Anne. Only not Anne.

Boco · 20/11/2007 22:53

No not Anne. It's Shimret.

MrsCarrot · 20/11/2007 22:54

Now I am trying to be clever like you, see, I have a vague memory of a misty picture and I am adding rabbi-like things to it so when I have to spot you in a group photo I will recognise you straightaway. Oh yes.

ahundredtimes · 20/11/2007 22:55

See. Rabbi Shimret.

I must go to bed. Night all.

TooTicky · 20/11/2007 22:56

Boco, your dds are beautiful. They have such sweet, sophisticated little faces. And they get it from you because you are beautiful. Your mother is talking out of her hat, which is obviously pulled firmly over her eyes.
