Cream coloured parsnips and crisp apple strudel, Beetroot and bok choi and swiss chard with noodles - 10/10 thread,

[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.

I have eaten an orange and a date.

Zippi, what have you done?

not sure which two things you mean avi [thick emoticon]

I have no fruit or proper veg in the house once the sparks has finished i shall have to shop i think

Have had banana, tomato, cuc, lettuce, mushrooms so far.

The Obama drama is surprisingly interesting.

what is obama

what have i done?

I am also toying with a sherbet fountain (nostalgia) but can't think how it can possibly be classed as fruit or vegetable.

The Obama drama is marvellous, the whole story just keeps getting better and better. And OR and I are going to have a massive fight about Clinton and oh [claps hands] the whole thing is lovely.

I am doing quite well, what with the satsumas and pears (and the unmentionable tooth-rotting rhubarb).

Also, I found a v. good new floor mop this morning. It has made me surprisingly happy.

I have a theoretical weakness for sherbet fountains

Zippi, you had been a good girl asnd now you've been bad...?

Isn't it the wrong time of year for rhubarb?

ah well everyone nagged me to give up my xmas name and the subliminal message was that i had been bad so now i have changed to the awful truth lol

Why don't you just be ZippiBabes? Unless you like the idea of being bad, that is.

see I am good really totally compliant

[airy]

Is it the wrong season TooT?

That's better Zippi

100x, it is a summer fruit. Well, vegetable

BOLLOCKS!

Oh no, 100x is going to fight with me

Wonder what's happened zippi? Could it just be a post-christmas thing?

Anyone care to do a precis of the latest happenings for me?

fantabulous title by the way

Oh Lully, poor you. Lovely to see you though.
Hang on, I'll try to do a precis...

Um...Franny has been trying to cut down on MN but lurking and partaking in strange Swedish porn with cardigans and glowsticks, Bee has gone back to college, MrsC has been suffering with her breasts, OverRated has had a tornado, Avi has either 2 jobs or none, I have been telling people how lovely Sweden is and FK, Bee and LittleRach may go.
There has been talk of another meet up soon, but some of us are skint and the weather is maybe not right for a picnic just now.

Hello, Lullaby. What an awful time you've been having.

think I'm going to have to hide this thread, the title makes me bloody hungry!

Whenever I do a precis, the first person to post after me is always somebody I have omitted to mention I blame my tired brain. Dd2 is doing weird things with her sleep.

I'm behind you TooT.
