When you say it's going to ripen now......well when exactly do you mean? - 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

Bee I am in need of short sleeved tops that are really voluminous on the tummy
or thin caftany sort of things - it's getting hot

plus would love a pretty summer skirt with a nice print on but am not sure such a thing exists

i have eaten quite a lot of apples and a clementine

i have no milk so couldnt have breakfast and have had coffee

and been rather bossy on mn

its getting hot
is that in a microclimate around your bump

LOL @ mega sword problem
I never watch stuff on YouTube while I am MNing, sorry - it just makes ds come over to see what I am doing and I have no way of knowing if it will be suitable or not

"is that in a microclimate around your bump"

yes

and while I am at the gym, basically

i suppose normal clothes that look loose are to small are they

i have completely forgotten whatv it is like to be pregnant

i have practically forgotten what it is like to be fat

some are alright zippi - I have got a few larger size tops that are ok, but they are not always very flattering
eg a man's t-shirt fits me but looks ruddy appalling
a smock top is ok but I mostly look fat

river island have some nice things but they probably arent vegetable enough or amoral in some way

or just small

LOL thanks zippi
I only brought it up because Bee asked if there was anything I desperately needed

oh i am just looking round for more people to boss about

i am in full on advice mode

oh Zippi, I could bend your ear until you're well and truly cured...I have so much 'stuff' going on it's unreal.
Still smiling though

Salad, fruit juice, melon and banana and strawberries so far. Veg casserole for dinner. prolly almost definitley 10.

Hello Veggers
Have just seen dermatologist about mystery rash and I have a 60% certain diagnosis which isn't hugely reassuring, and it's so vile that I cannot disclose ever. But if it's not that, then I have to go for biopsy and blood tests next month. Was prodded around by 3 doctors, seems I am an anomaly.

Good news is that dds orange allergy seems to have vanished - she ate an orange sneakily and nothing happened.

oh Boco

If you want to email me (or any of the other veggers) to discuss, you can...

Fmf that's really weird in my book, esp if you are v regular
are you sure you are not too skinnyminny

Franny what about long sleeveless stuff that always looks nice on a bump

Zippi I did not know you were building a house, how come you don't mention it every single second, it's astonishing

weird is the wrong word fmf but I can't think of another one but do you know what I mean

about a dozen cherry toms, two bananas, a pear, two raw carrots

two

I'm perfect BMI

Thanks filthy, but I think every time you saw me you'd move away and go bleurgh. Even so, hope it is that as the biopsy sounds a bit painful.

Am making stir fry with lots of nice things in. We're all eating oranges to celebrate dds lack of allergy.

Mind you, dh has cheered up - he reckons if I am pregnant a) he will feel like the world's most virile man to have 'beaten' a vs after all these years
b) we can sue the arse offa the surgeoun

f&v, well food in general really, = 0

am warming up a pizza as I type

Boco hope the potential dx means you will be better soon. I will admit to being intrigued though, is it scabies or ringworm or something that sounds equally vile but shouldn;t? [nosey]

FMF I weigh more than twice as much as you

zippi beat me into submission please and sort out my eating

FMF non appearance of period could mean you just didn't ovulate. Fairly common apparently. Are you going to test in case?

Tiger LA LA LA LA LA LA fingers in ears change subject.

[strokes boco soothingly]

[disinfects hands]

I'm not infectious! [brightens]

Boco you poor old bean
it obviously isn't madly infectious in its vileness or your whole family would have it
we still love you

stuffit I think sleeveless would look the pits on me
I have the world's skinniest arms and prior to becoming pg had abandoned weights at gym so they don't even have nice toned bit at top
now have nice flabby yet skinny part
niiiiice
