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

I only set fire to the brothel because of my unrequited love for Franny...I am misunderstood.
But I don't care, because I am rescued from the gutter by a struggling young artist who makes me his muse, tames me and becomes rich and famous for his paintings of the feisty red-headed siren. We have a zillion bambinos and live in a tumbling-down beautiful villa in the Tuscan hills and are wildly happy so ner...

filthymindedvixen · 02/03/2008 19:47

no franny, that is perfection!

FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 19:48

well FMF I just wonder
I think 'deranged and desperate' does kind of sum it up

OP posts:
Bbbee · 02/03/2008 19:52

and we are not deranged and desperate?

FMV - in retort to your end to the story - "they tire of the calm they that have known the storm." Nah!

FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 19:53

we may be, but do we have to advertise the fact?

can we use that one as a title?

OP posts:
filthymindedvixen · 02/03/2008 20:16

hhm, maybe a tad too long...

TooTicky · 02/03/2008 20:17

We'd have to explain it to people. Or are we now admitting to being desperate and deranged?

LOL dp has just told me what happened this afternoon while they were feeding the swans

Random woman: ooh I was feeding the swans yesterday and they didn't like chips! They were McDonald's as well, and they didn't even like them.

Ds: Well you know McDonalds food is actually not very nice

I don't really understand the Kinks title Will you explain it?

Can't believe I missed the bordello, it sounded good. I liked wearing a basque and riding a bike and laughing a lot. Franny scared me, like a grown up Midwich Cuckoo. I was quite sad at the end with Bee jumping and the donkey though. So, is everyone dead and it's burnt down? Where do i go? I only have my bike.

Franny - thanks for photographing shoes, I like them, they look really nice. I'm going to go looking and trying on in 2 weeks, would it be ok if i let you know then, depending on what or if anything that i find? Have 5 weeks till need them.

TooTicky · 02/03/2008 20:29

Omg, ds2 has now tipped flour over himself. Apparently he is FlourMan. Now he is offering to tip some on dd2. She has her bottom in the air. Off we go...

FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 20:37

Boco don't worry
you have got your ukelele as well and you can travel from town to town singing soulfully and tossing your hair about

erm the kinks thing is from the song "we are the village green preservation society. God bless strawberry jam and all the different varieties."

if we don't even get the title ourselves perhaps we need to come up with something else very fast

that is fine about shoes, I am sure you could find something nicer but just in case you get stuck, you are welcome to borrow them

pinkspottywellies · 02/03/2008 20:41

Oh no. You've been role playing again. I daren't read back lest I get sucked in!

I need to eat more fruit and veg. Franny, can I have a little boot camp starting tomorrow (just going to have my creme egg first!) please? I've only been running once this week too. Rubbish

Hope everyone had a nice relaxing Mothers Day.

FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 20:41

here you go

just checked and it is 'god save' apparently
I keep getting it wrong

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 02/03/2008 20:42

you can all have boot camp as long as you give me a title SOON and find someone to wear the scary hat
as I am still lazy and cowlike

OP posts:
Boco · 02/03/2008 20:47

Lololol at 'Oh no. You've been role playing again.'

Thanks Franny, will let you know. And I keep meaning to say that no, not coming next weekend as friends from London staying.

Boco · 02/03/2008 20:47

Love Pea Tender?

Shorter and maybe therefore less deranged?

Bbbee · 02/03/2008 20:52

i love it very much.

lol too at 'role playing'

TigerFeet · 02/03/2008 21:11
