They're Changing Chard At Butternut Palace, Crispy Rocket Went Down With Radish - 10/10 Club

[TooTicky]

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 wasn't being filthy

you will know when I am

You were in the fighting camp.

That trip was very exhausting and very jolly.

God, how they talked and larked about. I think I lost concentration and reached saturation point at about the same time as all the 7 y-o boys. The girls and teachers seemed to fare better.

U've been on a trip..sounds fun

Was a Y3 trip to look and 'feel' egyptian artefacts. I started day dreaming at about 2.00.

You Lllucky, lllucky barstard! Eygyptian artifacts?? I was asked to help on ds's last trip - to a water treatment works

They are going to the theatre next week..have I been asked???

makes me think of that scarab thingy in cronos..nothing like that then?

There were scarab beetles to be felt yes. Was good actually, there were boxes passed around with things wrapped up in tissue paper and you had to unwrap your box and guess 'what sort of a person would have had things like thiiiis.'

After 2.00 me and the boys just kept saying either 'slave' or 'pharoah' but the ones who were concentrating were saying 'scribe' and 'child' and things.

Was a good trip really. I wouldn't have wanted to go to the water works. I went on one to the canal last year.

They do lots of outings, it's a real strength. DS1 went on one to Legoland last year. I managed to avoid the Classical Architecture Walk last year, and the bird spotting Can you imagine me on that one?

but they didn't ping open and stab you and turn you into a vampire with eternal youth?

Last year there was one to the museum of agricultural life to see a horse, a chicken and an old plough. I was so desperate not to go i though i might have slipped into a coma if i'd been made to help.

The bird spotting one would have been great - i can imagine them all silently in awe as a rare lesser spotted kite landed and you hurl one of your expensive shoes at it.

Is that the one in the Asda car park? I was there in the rain in the summer on the way back from Southwold. It said The Museum of something like that. It looked dire.

Oh no Zipp, at least I don't think so. They might have done that after 2.00 and I wouldn't have noticed I suppose. Let's see what happens tonight eh?

now that would be a trip worth accompanying Zippi...

Boco, that almost sounds as bad as the water works.

Seriously, why haven't I been asked to the trip to see Joseph next week?

Are you going on the nuddy snowcard, Moony?

Eh what's this nuddy snowcard stuff?

Moony,

Can you volunteer to go on the theatre trip?

I am dreading looking forward to school trips when dd and ds are old enough.

Sadly no. DH was egging me on. He is quite sad (he likes fairies. And probably my body.) But it is toooo cold. I really can't afford to end up with pneumonia this close to christmas and the Mad Family Birthday Month.

And dh's friend (well, and my friend too) would have been airbrushing the pix. And that would have been too odd.

I know I will be regretting not doing it. But relieved at the same time IFKWIM.

wombling

erm here you go...

It would have been freezing.

DH is still in London AGAIN. So annoying.

I have had asparagus (from godknows where), corn on the cob, basil tomato salad and acai berry smoothie. Lunch was mackeral with bean and olive salad and homemade red cabbage/apple/onion/carrot/beetroot salad.
That is a lot of salad for a cold day. Tomorrow I will have soup I think.

DD was very upset when she came out of school as her 'friend', the one we've had meanness from before, was rubbing her wart on DD and telling her she would grow one. Not only that, she said mum has to scrub at it and it hurts so much you scream. She was quite inconsolable at one point and would not believe me that she wouldn't catch it. Not quite sure what to do about it, might speak to the teacher rather than girl's mum or do you think I'm overreacting like other friend implied I was?

I know! But I loved the idea of doing something so silly. And I was in good company (I wouldn't have been the oldest there)

MrsC no I don't think you are overreacting

this is nasty meanness and also rather odd

I think school should deal with it - it is happening in school time

do you like my cunning name change?
