Keeping on the straight and marrow - 10 / 10 thread - all welcome

[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.

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

Oh Franny,

What about Edison?

erm big
metal (we thought it was wood and dp apparently didn't notice when taking delivery of it)
awaiting an application of hammerite and 200 kis of sand

no I don't like ANY of these names
I will have to start another name thread for people to mockingly proffer names to me, I can see that
1000 posts not enough for you all, oh no

200 Kilos! Wow that must be ££££

mp wrote that she had found a 10000 word essay she wrote about the first time she slkept with her now husband

Yep Mp did, and she shared far TMI, and it all went tits up!

well we have found a place that does 25 kg for a fiver. Trying to find somewhere cheaper or it will have to have less sand in it, basically

dp says it doesn't need 200kg anyway but I worked it out very thoroughly and scientifically with an online sand volume calculator. Oh yes.

Noooo

I have family coming all weekend including nephew & neice...can;t bear the thought of all being cooped up inside

I have plans

I thought Kit was lovely and great with your surname but then I thought about Knightrider

It's probably best I didn;t post on the names thread

I am pretty sure you can use them after birth (I didn't start using them until some time after DD's birth but am sure you can).

I use these ones and the maxi ones mention about them being very good for postnatal bleeding (or stress incontinence). Not sure how many you'd go through though.

LOL Knightrider
oh dear

are there local places eg museum, gallery you can go to if the weather is dreadful?

We are going to Oxford, to stay with DH's family. Did I already say that on this thread? Well we still are anyway .

DH and I are hoping to go to the cinema together. I would love to see Juno, but (a) am not sure if it is on anymore and (b) DH says there is no way he would see it with me and I can (c) watch it on DVD some day.

oh Idris they look super don't they, how comfortable
hmm pricey just for using after birth, too pricey I suspect
I have sanitary product now

They are good. But I agree about too pricey for just after birth really. I remember working out when I would have broken even on using them and being very excited

they really look good. Hoorah for nice pleasant sanitary doodahs.

Lovely bump Franny! It's quite hight isn't it? My bump was always LOW

FMF you make me I would have a go at knitting anything for anyone, I really enjoy it. I will reply to your email!

I have had quite a good f&v day; made a leek and potato soup with butter beans and other stuff and it was yummy

Oooh Franny, get you:

sounds far too professional and organised for me!

yes i did it on the back of an envelope really

Tatties thank you for the book! It arrived and dp has been laughing at it consulting it already

Glad you got it! LOL at dp, has he come up with any decent suggestions then, hmmm?

nah
his role is to sneer at my suggestions

galahad

Not really Franny

Smallish Kent town not centre of cultural universe really...we have to go to Lunnon for that

Children aged 6, 4 and 2.5...

WE have so many lovely outdoors places though...oh poo

What a perfect and lovely bump Fra. Really, isn't it neat and lovely? I am always deeply jealous of pregnant ladies who manage to just sport bumps - I always seemed to be pregnant from my eyes down. Look at your lovely slim legs and perfect bump.

Good work. Keep it up. [hangs up bunting in an amiable way]
