Cauliflower Steaming On Such A Winter's Day - 10 / 10 thread

[FrannyandZooey]

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.

x posts, if you're ok with it coming out then tell the truth. Awkward situation though.

But is he really going to be shocked that an employee took drugs years ago? Surely NOT?

yes I do see what you mean 100

I think people talking honestly about drugs, might be more useful in helping you to decide whether to do them, than everyone saying "no no no never do them" and your friends saying "go on"

you could say "ah my friend did all this and she ended up feeling x y z". More acceptable way to turn it down than to say "no my mother says I shouldnt"

But would her father knowing that you once did drugs really matter - would he really have a problem with that?

I suppose it's not that she took them, but that she is a confidant and role model for his daughter. He might not see it rationally. Some people are really weird about drugs.

Agh i keep just repeating what 100 says.

I don't think he would be, no

without being de;liberately arrogant, it is not a terrible risk for me, I can afford to lose the job more than he can afford to lose me right now!

then it's ok then

MrsC I don't think she does have another grown up to ask

I don't think most teenagers do, do they? I never did

Boco and I are as one.

Yes Franny, I think you're right. It should be a conversation anyway, because they are easier to have and less absolute, and you will be able to judge what is appropriate when you are together.

Agree about mother says I shouldn't.

anyway had not realised how many different opinions, thank you, it has pointed out some things I had not thought of

reallly must go to bed, see you all in the morning xx

God, I came across as all poker straight then.

i have totally lost the plot but

i do still think that it won't be that bad

Anyway here we are fretting about it, and she probably just wants to share with you how Amazing she thinks drugs are, and how Brilliant and what a great weekend she had with some mates and how you musn't tell her father about it.

Goodnight Franny x

MrsC, go take a turn around the garden and have some crack, it'll be fine

My thinking was because you have a relationship with ehr parents could it become awkward for you if they knew - and of course also if you know things about her.

FWIW I do think it is important for young people to have older people to talk to honestly about this kind of thing though. And most probably don't, actually.

so did boco and fk once go touni in bvrighton

I am 30 now, Boco, I don't do that sort of thing any more.

F's parcels are on the table all wrapped in starry paper, can't believe he is one tomorrow.

Off to snort a camomile teabag

Night all

No Boco didn't. But she was shown round by a weirdo and decided not to go.

I don't suppose teenagers say brilliant and amazing do they? DS1 says 'mega'.

I did Zippi, Boco didn't, and BBBee may have.

I think. Now, it's really good night!

theres no diffrerence beteween legal drugsb and prescribed ones except cicrcumstance

ds1 says wicked

Happy Birthday to F!

I must go to bed.

I am worried JJ may be a dud. I have been googling genetic mutations of cocker spaniels. Hmmmm. He may have ingrowing eyelashes or something.

We are going to the vet.

What will we do if JJ is a dud?
