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

it was a title suggestion not a surreal moment. All my posts come up twice at the moment for some reason.

except that one...?

BBBeee- go to bed.

I love Last Mango in Paris.

I had 'Shiny Happy Peapods laughing' but that sounds a bit deranged

oh hoorah for Last Mango
shiny happy peapods also excellent
you are clever veggers

good titles

nice day with friend sounds nice UR

i managed to go to bed at a more sensible time but i see bbee didnt tho i guess she was studying rather than faffing

i have procrastinated everything all week so have to do insulation again today and lots of college stuff to start thinking about

i have had awful allergic rhitis since before easter thought it was a cold to start with but i do that every year it is some sort of tree pollen

it makes my nose really sore and dry not drippy sort of swollen inside

dont know what to do about it

Ok......
So,I have woken up with absolutely no voice whatsoever &
Ds is deaf as a post atm
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP

melon,strawberries,blueberries,peach
quinoa in a minute
lots of honey & lemon

somebody remove dh for the day for me
He is being an arsier arse than ever
& I cant even scream with fury this morning

Lully at least you and ds's illnesses dovetail nicely
it doesn't matter if you lose your voice and he couldn't hear you anyway
is it sore? hope you both recover soon

zippi you too - sounds like a job for a wizard to me

am eating apple, pear, grapes, raisins
back MUCH better

and a kick in the arse for good measure

Morning squeaky guts

Zippi - does eating local honey help?

Lully - why is he deaf, is this to do with the immune thing?

What a lovely day. I feel like walking a very long way and then eating a roast at the end of it.

kick harder
he didn't feel it

bloody marathon
bloody horse racing
bloody weekends

glad back is better

lol at franny saying pour LL and ds illnesses dovetail nicely but sorry you are poorly

saw job for wizard and thought yes that is exactly what i need to do the insulation

had a vision of silver insulation whirling round the room and being slurpoed into the eaves cupboards and a n animated staple gun firing raoidly

local honey? i wonder where i would get that is that what you are supposed to do

maybe ryton gardens would sell it

He has had two consecutive ear infections Mrs C
loads of discharge,but no pain
Cant hear & damned thing

what? What? WHAAAAT?
has now turned into Whatto? ( for some reason,probably the fact that I drummed pardon into the equation because I hate WHaT & ds answered that he hates the word Pardon)

So Whatto it is

You are all very poetic this morning, dovetailing and whirling silver!

oh franny ,
You might have a permanent lodger if you attack him with the aubergine like that

i have a lovely sink

copper one on oiron stand and expensive antique copper taps for bath and basin now joining extensive ranks of things which are desirable but i dont know what to do with them

the basin would make a nice garden feature or possibly i could go mad and use it in the utility room

i turned to wash my face with cold water in the bath last night and realised i could in fact use the sink

yes, I think local honey is meant to be good for hayfever and stuff. They often have it in the greengrocers or at farmer's markets. That reminds me, there is one here today I might go and get a chicken.

Lully - that sounds more like glue ear, wouldn't discharge from an ear infection mean a
burst eardrum? I can't see how that wouldn't be painful. The CO is usually quite good with that sort of thing, did you discuss that?

our sink is a pain
It's a massive limestone thing,but water pools around the plug & stains it green

LL that happened with the coper one there was always a puddle of water in it apart from the fact that being copper it goes green anyway which most people dont apparently like when they are cleaning their teeth

but the cold tap was taken off about two years ago cos the washer went

and it wouldnt turn off and the washers on the other taps had more or less gone too

nice idea of mine but totallly impractical

I know Mrs C..I dont understand
I suffered from terrible,painful ear infections all my childhood.
A burst eardrum is excruciating.
Ds says his ears do not hurt at all,or his throat.
CO said his tonsils were inflamed,all gland swollen,ears red & inflamed,eyes oozing
Ds says he feels very well,but his eyes are crunchy & annoying him

hmm, perhaps it's just general upper respiratory viral gunk?

I laughed because when ds is poorly I feel very low
This constant 6m of illness has left me despairing & feeling something is very wrong & that I am doing something hopelessly wrong

CO smiled at me when I was leaving & said despite obvious poorliness atm,ds was one of the healthiest children he had seen in a long while .

well,that's what the dr said
The remedies he is taking,combined with the CO will hopefully draw everything out
