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

yes I would like to wear glam shoes more frequently but a) i have dodgy feet and b) walk everywhere, so sparkly trainers are as exciting as it usually gets

is anyone else having THE most UNPRODUCTIVE day EVER!

I have had an orange and some beans on toast.

ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 18:05

BBee you deserve some unproductive time. You must be shattered. Put your feet up and juggle oranges for a bit.

FMV, I'm still going to look.

Avi - devise a holding place for 'asked for', if they don't ask for a couple of months then give to Oxfam. Also - key thing is to rearrange the toys. So move unwanted/unplayed with, and line the diggers up around a roundabout or near the sandpit. If they just go back in the box, then the ones that are missing are obvious. Or something like that. Works here.

Oh, and please, get a boat for the sand.

ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 18:06

Oh and I love garlic and olives and all those things, so can I be a prostitute please?

I stayed in a brothel in Barcelona once. I know the ropes. My expertise will be invaluable.

lullabyloo · 02/03/2008 18:19

really 100x?
do tell....
My ex once thought of a floating brothel to entice the chaps from the Naval College...but It never got beyond planning stage either

Have had
champagne
canapes
goats cheese pannacotta & apple & walnut salad
apple sorbet
sea bream & creamed potatoes & truffle oil
selection of puddings....Eton Mess,Passion fruit cheese cake,clafoutis...
petit fours

I am at least four stone heavier than this morning

ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 18:43

Oh well, I was showing off. Me and my friend turned up in Barcelona at about 2 in the morning, and we thought it was the hostel, and they took us in and gave us a room. And then the next night it became quite clear that it wasn't a hostel at all.

They said we could stay, but we got scared and left. Which is a shame. But hey, that's two nights in a brothel, so I reckon I'm still in.

Bbbee · 02/03/2008 18:52

did it have a bar in the front room? My one is going to have that and be all green and gold.

Womble is going to answer the door and look through her hair at people and show them into this bar and 100 you can sit at the bar with a cigarette holder and a moncle and do laughing and franny will stand looking out the window all wistful and sad in those nice shoes.

FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 18:53

why will I be wistful and sad? because I never get any customers?

OP posts:
Bbbee · 02/03/2008 18:53

oh and I have changed it now and it is not a brothel but they come for conversation and they all fall in love we us and we laugh and then we have to move cities every few months leaving behind trails of men in love with us.

ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 18:54

Can I have mannish lesbian pin-striped suit and monocle please?

FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 18:54

oh that is just too much like real life now

Bbbee · 02/03/2008 18:54

NO FRANNY>

You are deep and interesting and wistful and they want to discover you. You are also -um- undercover or a double agent or something enigmaish.

ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 18:55

It could be a Salon.

FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 18:55

LOL cross posts 100

that may be too much like real life also, what do I know?

OP posts:
ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 18:55

A Salon with Prostitute Sauce.

Bbbee · 02/03/2008 18:56

oh yes 100 - and your hair is gelled back and the mayor falls in love with you but then we find out he is gay and that is why he loves you.

ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 18:57

LOL Franny.

ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 18:59

That is also why he is the mayor too, all those chains and bad wigs.

I'm going to have high cheek bones and a bad cough. I will probably die fairly early on. Then Boco will turn up with long hair and a lovely basque and everything will be sweet and spring like and Franny will cheer up.

FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 18:59

I want to be some kind of touched in the head person who should probably be on medication but it is a small town and they just let me get on with it

I look out the window looking mournful and deep but actually I am just mentally challenged

I sit silently while they tell me their problems and they get solace from my unblinking gaze

not 7 sulks

ahundredtimes · 02/03/2008 19:00

You can be from a Tennesee Williams play Franny.

Bbbee · 02/03/2008 19:01

lully - you are very pure you come and save um, boco from her basque and show us the true way with some delightful food and heavenly behaviour.

there are some feathers somewhere too.
