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 did have the news email, I just hadn't read it yet. Yay for zippi and her wise words

morning lovelies

ohhh it is all misty and strange and atmospheric here - beautiful!

Hope you all have a lovely day.

FZ - do you want me to email you re your friend? Am happy to but a parental perspective will probably be more useful for you at this point.

Bee yes I will email you about it, thanks
100 has been extremely helpful also but I have just realised i may have fucked her off by ranting on about schools which was crass to say the least when she was being extremely wise

pineapple, apple, banana, raisins

I am sniffly and throaty again

busy busy day
and worse to come tomorrow
but ds v excited and is talking about wearing his party shirt and his party belt

I have been thinking about zippi's quote and realised that I have been out with some men who were NOT any different in bed to when they were visiting a National Trust property

both ways round, IYSWIM

we have bananitos in the fruit bowl. ds thrilled

have a wonderful party fra
fmf hope your mechanical problems are sorted out
UR fantastic on the sorting, i did it last week and went to heaven for a little bit then i turned round for two seconds when the children came back and oo-er how did that happen it's a tip again
one orange, four pieces of toast and butter
if only good intentions were full of goodness

Hello

Ds is being a bit horrid difficult today. We were out in the garden earlier and he kept saying he wanted to stamp on bugs and flowers Why would he do this and how do I deal with it? And every time I sit down he wants milk (in an annoying voice)

UR Lavender oil is my friend too

TooT thank you for the offer of shoes, but ds's feet seem to have slowed down. We are still on the other ones you sent, and some size 9 slippers he got at Christmas are too big!

FMF hope you got away ok!

Avi yes email me

Stuffit isn't it amazing how quickly all the tidying is undone

Small piece of apple. Large bowl of leftover stew - onion, swede, carrot, mushroom, potato, garlic, etc.

Oh good Tatties, you did see my message.

Can anybody else use some size 10 shoes? Franny? Lully? FK? Who else has a boy this sort of size? Otherwise they will probably sit around for years, or until Tatties' ds is bigger

Pink, I replied to your email but sometimes mine get lost so let me know if it hasn't arrived and I will try again.

Franny, I emailed you - no need to reply, but would be good to know if it arrived.

Oh, I made flapjack in the end - found a good, not-too-sweet recipe and added raisins, apple and a hint of mashed banana

mmmmmmmmmm
they sound good Toot

Ds is already an 11.5

My dcs all have smallish feet. Ds2 (6) is only just in an 11. When dd2 started walking, we couldn't get actual walking shoes because she was a 2.5.

Morning all,

Can you post the recipe if you have a chance toot?

DS is being a meerkat

It was based on this one, UR.

My ds1 does a good meerkat

What size is dd2 now TooT? I could see if we have any sandaly shoes from last summer if you like?

Ooh thanks She is a 5, poss 5.5

Blimey. DH been in hosp all day with DD. Managed to get there at 4 to have to hold her tiny little writhing body whilst a succession of butchersmuppets trainees savaged her hands with needles. Feel sick. And I smell. Managed to catch some wee though so we finally got let out. Men are not good at catching wee it transpires.

clementines x 2

Where's a beer when you need one?

Thanks Toot - I love that website.

ES, that's awful. I hope she is feeling better. Have you any chocolate to make up for the beer?

2 bananas, raisins, juice, peas, tomatoes, mushrooms, grapes. And it's only lunchtime.

Nope, I do have a very large pile of washing up and a stinking bin to make up for it though

FZ - have sent rambling email on asd

Hi everyone

Have had abusy day, and have a cold and sore throat, after a week of perfect 10/10 every day, I am slightly

TooT I don;t know what size feet DS has they may be a 10...will check later!

Am trying to sort out my music tonight, my playlists have all gone screwy

Love to you all x

I've caved in. Am drinking beer. 2 weeks ain't bad though and I'll get back on the wagon tomorrow. Please don't beat me with that leek I see you brandishing Franny!!!

Oh sorry and ES hope you have found some chocolate & beer

Your day sounds pretty horrebndous

Hello.

ES, poor DD.

I have not been eating particularly 10/10 ishly. I will make a New Effort next week .

My sister is getting married tomorrow. I am very excited .

TooT, DS wears size 10 shoes....

We're ok, DD is built like a brick dunny. Apparently they are '90% sure' it isn't meningitis!!!!!!!!!!

ES, I think a beer is justified tonight.

Enjoy the wedding, Idris.

I'm cold, tired and bored. DS is trying to have a nap so I should be cleaning or something.
