Why do you build me up, butternut baby, chestnut lentil me down? 10/10 club - all welcome!

[pinkspottywellies]

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

Darling,Darling one.....I cannot access my old email...I thought you had fallen off the face of the earth....I will text you my new email
I would hug you....but I am rather lurgyish this morning
How are you

fmf.....make that boils

Whoops Idris, I didn't know dragons sneezed fire, you nearly singed my eyebrows with that one!

phew!!!

Was starting to worry! oh sweetheart it is so good to see you!

Haven't been on much lately

Sorry for the hijack folks

I have become so unhealthy too lully...keep wanting to join this thread but fear a) my will power where wine and rich food is concerned is as we know very poor and b) don't think you healthy () chaps will have me

yes stop singing! (that bloody thread title is so in my head...it always used to be the last song played at ddgy local nightclub.)

ahh. Singeing.

LL {{{{hugs}}}}
And tea tree oil.

Have a banana gibbon

that made me giggle FMV

Why is there so much wee in the wrong places today? This is a genuine question. One person was not a person but the cat. I think it was because DH left the conservatory door not open enough for her to get out last night. But why she had to do it on our bed I do not know. Hmm.

Was calm in the face of adversity.

Then DD had a wee that suddenly came ("I need wee.....oh" At least that one was on a wooden floor.

The house is a mess. I am unprepared for tomorrow's party. At least it is in a village hall and not here or I would go banananananas.

best solution would be to leave the yurt/village hall/gathering place and sort some things a bit. And amaze myslef with my sense of purpose. And maybe eat chocolate .

So I will sort out for a little while as DS is at pre-school and DD is "reading" (on the grounds that she is 2.2 I presume she is not actually reading).

Gibb....there is nothing remotely healthy about me at the moment

please stay.....or at least visit often....& eat cake....& chocolate

fmf...for boils or sty?
gawd I feel utterly flattened this morning

I don't want to draw this out, so I'll try and make this the last post about it, but I wanted to say I was not suggesting that we don't ask questions or discuss things or that we always have to agree with each other, or anything like that.

However I do think there are ways of doing this respectfully, and I don't think that last night's discussion was supportive. It made me feel uncomfortable. If you go and read it and you honestly think all the posts were friendly and supportive, then it is me that is being too sensitive. Which is of course entirely possible. But I don't think it is patronising to ask people to be kind to one another. I personally don't want to read debate and arguments on this thread, but I am ONE PERSON posting here and other people may feel they DO want to have big debates and stuff.

Personally I think there is some right old bollocks talked on here at times I tend to keep my mouth shut if I think that - I don't always have to take issue with stuff that I don't agree with, and I don't feel it would add to the convivial atmosphere and the friendships I have here on the thread.

You have said you don't feel you are the right kind of person to be here, 100, but I presume you have enjoyed the atmosphere and the posters here or you wouldn't have been spending time here in the first place. I don't see why you need to say you are leaving, because one poster (me) disagreed with you about one thing (this).

sorry

have been pondering on it, will let you move on now

Where is Boco?
Someone is looking for her regarding the beastly birthday table

oh lully...wish I could make you feel better, I really do Have missed you so.

Have to dash now...text me your new e mail address or mail me from your new one

Bye all

Well, there we are. Mostly we are friendly, sometimes there will be debate, some people will speak out and some prefer not to, occasionly thses two things will clash near a full moon. Then we will all eat cake, no?

will do lovely one

ds is making hundreds of fairies on the ceiling with a mirror ball...it's beautiful.
He is begging me to buy a Christmas tree today as my grandparents are coming to stay on Sunday & he wants tthe house to be beautiful

Well, because what you took issue with is quite important. Yes, of course I love 10/10 and all 10/10ers - that goes without saying - but I also don't mind discussing things and expressing points of view in a debate.

I don't find debates upsetting - it's that rabbi thing - in fact I quite like them. I don't see differences of opinion as not being convivial to friendship or harmonious feelings, and I certainly don't think it is an act of unkindness to disagree with someone.

Of course I bite my tongue a lot on here, but I'm not sure it's okay for you to tell me to do this always. I think that's a bit boring tbh, but I also understand why you have said it.

I am sorry though if I have caused ill feeling or discord. I don't mean to do that. Let's leave it now.

is it stir-up Sunday? I have never made my cake on that day but I think I will this year.

please dont anyone leave

I don't have a problem with differences of opinion, I wish I could express that in a way that you would accept what I am saying.

I haven't told you to bite your tongue always or anything like that. You do keep saying that I have said things, which I in fact have not said. It's frustrating when I am thinking quite carefully about what it is in fact that I do want to say.

Nobody else seems to have a problem with it, so I presume it is just me, however I do still feel strongly that I don't like combative debate on this thread. You and others feel differently. So I hope we can accept that this is one of the areas in which we have differences of opinion?

No, I think I do understand what you're saying. You are taking issue with the manner in which the difference of opinion is expressed, I think. In that it is challenging and questioning rather than supportive.

I understand that, but I also know my limitations.

Which is why it is better to bow out gracefully, I am really v. limited in many ways.

I really think there should be an attention-seeking emoticon. I need one. Right. Lets draw a line under it now.
