Shiny happy peapods laughing - 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

but she was fullmoonfiend before she was filthymindedvixen, so I call her FMF no matter what she is calling herself

yes slur don't be daft once a vegger, always a vegger. You can come in whether you have eaten good things or not

ds has gone off in car with friend for whole day he looked very small in the back seat and didn't wave properly

Do any of you have any spare squash seeds? Could swap for sweetcorn, peas, kohl rabi, broccoli, swede, runnerbean....

eternalstudent, I have two regular posting names, dependng on my mood (gemini, see?)
If I am feeling 'normal' I am fmf but if I am feeling minxy I am fmv. FmF is my 'original' name.
most people I care about on MN know I am interchangeable and so know who I am. And those that don't, might think ''how strange, there are 2 ageing hippies who talk bollox on MN''
It also disguises just how much I am on MN...

I'm sure he'll be fine Franny - he'll be smiling by now, like this

i think there may be more than two

Toot, I'm sure I have spare squash! Will look now. Got any Kale seeds

Ooh hello veggers! Every time I see this thread title I think you're having a pop at ShinyHappyPeople because she had a dig at your (inspired) thread titles that time

Fmf, any chance of you making it to the Ragged Hedge Fair? Near Cirencester so not as far as BD and cheaper tickets too...

lol chocrock! Never thought of that!

Sorry Fmf, no kale.

is this a game of go fish ?

Prob not Toot DH is rebelling against driving far for festies this year

(I might rebel and go and help on my boss's daughter's tea stall. Called Wierdigans, you'd love it, look out for them )

email me your postal addy Toot|

i think I first became aware of her work as filtyhmindedvixen so she is that in my head.

did we once get slated for our thread titles?

ooh.

I plan a lazy day - back to school monday.

Oh yes, Weirdigans rings a bell - not that we could afford to buy much food!
Will email now - let me know if it doesn't turn up.

Dcs used to play a version of Go Fish on the computer with a jolly talking cat. I never understood it.

Go fish is where you say
Got any tens?
Got any fives?
etc etc
anyway if you haven't you say
GO FISH
and they have to pick up a card
it is the best card game to start them with when they get fed up with animal snap

We play a lot of snap atm....

try go fish it's great from about 4
seven cards each, the rest in a pack
you have to collect runs of the same suit or all tens, eights, etc
so eg when you get a run of 2 3 4 and 4 eights you've won
you have to have eg at least one king to ask for a king
if you ask and someone says yes you get to ask again

also brilliant for littlies is beat your neighbour we love that

Thanks. But beat your neighbour? Sounds a little brutal...

we used to call that Beggar your neighbour. Only I used to think it was bugger your neighbour....

aha fmf now i understand your REAL name

that's where you divide the pack into two a la snap

put down cards a la snap

if someone puts down an ace the next person has to put down four cards

if none is a picture card or ace the ace-putter-downer collects the pile

for a king it's three cards, two for a queen, 1 for a jack

that's very badly explained but i AM preparing for another coffee afternoon so may I be excused from clarity

My real name??

nobody knows my real name...,,,mouwahhahahahmouwahahah!

oh sorry i forgot there was such a thing as real real name
