Last Mango in Paris - 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

I wrote a long piece and it disappeared.

Well, it wasn't that long. It said I am probably not on 10/10 thinking here, because I really don't think it matters a hoot, and is all play and they get red faces and spread their legs and have a surprisingly good time.

My line has always been 'don't pretend to shoot real people, point anything at real people, they don't like it and it's horrible' and they really never did do that.

So, I've never minded sticks and gunning down enemies in the woods, or firing arrows (dd has a bow and arrow) or water pistols. But that is me.

Oh Franny,

Nothing helpful to add, 100 has been Anne with an e, and everyone has been helful and empathetic, I can only add my empathy and positive vibes. You will get through, and you will not be immobilised. You are healthy, fit and you have done childbirth before, and you can do it again, it will be different, but you will do it and it will be fine.

Sleep well

Killers, I would like less I think. I would suggest they call them Fighters rather than Killers perhaps? For same reasons re it being a horrible thing to say.

Though also - not so horrible to them, because they don't have the notion of it that you do.

But others will give you better advice, because they will share your concern FK.

Right. really, am off to the boardroom now.

lol read 100 times post and thought it was about the killers and the foo fighters

i struggled to get it to make sense on that basis

Nice one LadyW. Well put.

ROFL at Zip and her grasp of current culchure. I'm till battling with my Nirvana tapes.

Right, actually going to bed now. Make all your fun plans now - I give you a 10 hour head start

sams towen is excellent

Oh but also someone needs to talk to UR about the man in the lift banging on the door. I am not very happy about this. I nominate you Zippi.

It is Zip. I heart Killers. Am looking forward toi new POrtsihead released 28th.

not sure i know how to deal with elevator man i have never been pursued well did have twat trying to tell me i was gagging for it but not quite the sane situation

i have baked bread put local honey in instead of sugar along with sunlfower seeds sesame seeds and ground almonds

just having some witrh more honey

specials playing in the background

Zippi my stepdaughter rang yesterday and said "Dad there's this big concert thing happening near you and I'm going to try and get tickets"

She expected us not to have even heard about it

She meant the radio 1 Big Weekend, I had already registered for tickets earlier that day

I want to go an mosh to the Fratellis (is that the correct terminology )

100 Fighters could be a better word, definitely. I think it is mainly killing "baddies"

fk

music is one thing i have the hang of

my kids are not that interested dd1 is slightly more

her bf and me like quite similar stuff

oh flip trying to read in and got to franny's bit
i'm so so sorry you have been feeling so crap with your spd and so so glad you are back, it is so much better to talk than brood
I hope you are not terrified anymore
you are all such a great bunch

hello osmo and 100 and zippi and mrs c and all, any news of UR, berolina are you better competely

have eaten a load of vegetables in a thai thing, prob about 3 portions but a hell of a lot of choc

it's my b i r t h d a y today hence chocolate
hence also having to enjoy time with dh instead of locking myself away on here

i saw your bf zippi he is a lovely looking bloke isn't he but i had to rip myself away so didn't see the result

The Fratellis were at the IOW festival last year (as was I ). I was slightly let down by them tbh.
