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

eatser egg hunt sounds nice it is getting colder isnt it i think i am going to pack my boarding trousers

well the plumber has just gone would you believe me if i say that it is another disaster

boiler wont heat up the water

and no one has fitted the room thremostst

i di my the house is cursed well it was bound to have something worng as it is my house woe is me rent my clothes etc

so he is now back on the cupboard shouldnt be there stuff

but i tried to do the depressed i dont care any more i hate this house thing ans so he is getting someone to fit a thermstat and

then we have to wait for the gurantee to start backdate the registration lie abouit the kitchen and then pretend it was signed off before we put the kitchen in and then get an company boiler engineer and hope he doesnt refuse to fix it

because of the kitechen

oh fuck i hate it and i know when i get the building inspector he will start picking holes too about the entrance to the house and probably my insulation

i am going to by a daypack

it is nearly dark here

and of course i only have one head light so hopefully i wont get arrested

good luck at the dentist

Zippi can I ask you a question? You mentioned getting sweaty with AF...have you had this a long time or is a recent development?

I have night sweats the week before AF is due, often wake up c. 5am drenched. Lovely.

I think I need to take something for PMS...anyone recomend anything? I suppose it's Agnus Castus isn;t it?

Have had fruit salad but not much else. Fridge is full of cabbage but nothing else left from veg box. Have both white and savoy. Not quite sure how that's happened.

Cabbage with cabbage for supper then

zippi ruddy HELL
I wish some of it would go right for you

Idris good luck

I am meant to be taking ds on a peace march this afternoon but you know somehow my commitment to peace is waning

have eaten beetroot salad
am having bulk cooked stew for dinner with brown rice [virtuous]

i have had it for about twenty years or more

sometimes not for ages

i do take evening primrose

was absolutely soaked this morning as well as totally disorientated

nothing does go right for me that boiler has been on the wall in that house for 18 months so could have had its papers and faults sorted before

scream scream

i think the plumber was glum as a glum thing too

tthey hate it here as much as i do

oh poor you zippi

peace march franny?
in this blardy weather?

i feel i have even cursed everyones weekend by arranging to go on this walk tomorrow if i was not fdoing anything as usual then the weather would be nice

oh zippi

I am back from the dentist. It was all right .

Idris can you e-mail me too about MP. Am intriuged!

I feel utterly pants today. Throat is no better and I now have earache and feel fluey and shivery and it's cold.

I think I have the same thing Pink, thought I had a bad hangover but it clearly isn't. Also, my wisdom tooth feels like it is growing an inch a minute sideways.

Will do psw (do I have your email address? I know we have scrabbled but not sure I have your email address).

Sorry about the pants feeling. I feel like I either have a hangover, or have been crying A Lot and have done neither. Sort of manflu ish I think

Have emailed you Idris...

oh oh! Dh looks like he might have got a job!! Possibly even two jobs!!

Will know more next week. Keep everything crossed for us, I was on verge of selling my pathetically small collection of valuables....

Woooooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooooooo
thats fab fmv

good news for the job i am just throwing a few things in a bag and gpooing tp friends for the night before the walk

have a lovely day until i return
