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 please don't talk about brandy butter. That is just beyond foul.

zippitippitoes · 24/11/2007 19:57

i promise not to talk about brany butter..i have never really understood it it is just sugar and fat

now cream whipped with brandy is a different thing altogether

zippitippitoes · 24/11/2007 19:58

fat and alcohol being a perfectly legitimate combination of course

BBBee · 24/11/2007 20:01

I have loads of work.

I have to pull an all nighter tonight and drink loads of coffee.

I am most certainly not 10/10 at the moment.

TooTicky · 24/11/2007 20:02

TooTicky · 24/11/2007 20:03

Cream and brandy is still foul.

TooTicky · 24/11/2007 20:06

About shoes - dd1 and ds2 have both had shoes from Green Shoes. Dd1 because she was wide and ds2 because he was incredibly narrow at one time. Do you know of them or shall I link?
