It's my parsley and I'll cry if I want to - 10/10 thread. All welcome!

[pinkspottywellies]

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

Is MrsC's mortgage financed by heroin?

lol the prob lem i have with concentraqting is magnified aboiut a 100 times reading this

because i cant remember what i have read after a few posts so it is all disconnected

if these boiys werent doing the shower i would go to bed

I must confess to loving Vogue, 100, I sigh at the pictures and feel quite determined in parts, what for I don't know. Then there's the jewellery, that's mainly what I love about it. My lamp is stacked on about ten copies. There is a place for vacuous glamour in my life, I don't mind admitting that.

Oh good, I'm so pleased you love it and don't disapprove. I even like the adverts, actually I like the adverts hugely.

Good. So Vogue for sure then. Also isn't it glossy? In quite a proper way?

My friend writes for Russian Vogue. She's very glamorous. Dp buys vogue and stashes them under the bed like porn.

I especially like the Asprey adverts. There was an exhibition in Asprey when I met franny and tatties for tea. It was amazing, gorgeous jewels and tea-sets and clothes.

I hate those books. I have refused to read them now but DD asks for them every time we go to the library.

No not heroin or the other things Boco

If you have a mortgage and have life insurance (or possibly critical illness insurance) you should check when it pays out because a few years ago when we got ours I noticed that the life insurance pays out if you're diagnosed with cancer and other illnesses even though most of them are very treatable nowadays. Worth a look anyway.

I've told dd she can only have them if she reads them herself too. She agreed and they bored her too.

Oh and thank you Bero. I think though I'd need her to play beach volley ball. I am v. impressed by this, and if she hates us - which she probably will, dh has just come over looking pale and said 'You do realize that there is NO HANDLE on the spare bedroom door, and the curtains are too small?' - then I shall be asking all future candidates if they play beach volley ball to national standard.

Actually, I won't. I will be sitting on the pavement and begging and saying 'look actually it's not ALL that bad. They are okay really.'

Yes, Vogue is quite porny really. I hope they let it in the hospital.

Tick re Asprey adverts. Agree. Also v. fond of the social diary bit. I don't know why.

lordy you lot
if this is what f & v does to you
I'm giving it up

Where did the heroin come from Boe-coe?

Pink - yes, you did say that on my other thread. I'm sorry, I forgot about it, my head is all over the place. Thank you. I don't have life insurance, we were organising it just before this happened and they are holding fire on it atm, unsurprisingly, but I don't know about the mortgage. I am shockingly ill-informed when it comes to our finances. Dh is always talking to me about stuff and I say, yes yes, while thinking about something else.

Avi - you are right, being informed is very good. I could have done with a slightly less shocking tactic that that organisation but it is important to think about it. I am hoping for a good chat with my gp tomorrow.

100 saw a heron
Franny asked 100 if she liked the heron.
Zippi thought Franny was asking 100 if she liked heroin.
I thought it was an interesting question all round. Nothing personal Pink, you don't seem the type or anything.

It came from the Heron PSW. They are dealing, they are plotting our downfall. It's like Dr Who.

Anywaay - having spent my time poncing on about conformist education. DD and I read my Naughtiest Girl in School and now she is OBSESSED by the idea of going to Summerfield. Is it called that? And she wants to attend the meeting and be a monitor, and take charge of her education. It's all going horribly wrong.

we have a heron too

well obviously not us
we are of the gardenless variety

our local park ,with lake has one

The social diary is usually hilarious and visually pleasing in equal measure. The names are ridiculous and some of the teeth! Then there are dresses and shoes and hair and well, it's another world isn't it? It's fun to look at.

Oh Lully they are everywhere. They are watching us, and waiting.

It's not called Summerfield is it? What's it called?

Summerhill

i didnt see the bit where 100 msaid shed sen a heron

at least i dont think i did

i find vogue too heavy and full of ads

tho it is expensive too

That's the fella. And I keep telling her 'No, no, you must not. You must wear a uniform and take a biology and chemistry GCSE like all the other nice girls, and care about merits and demerits and conformity. Conformity is the way to go.'

Oh Avi? What does Oliver James say then? Goody about July, is it definite?

I love the weight of it though. And the ads. I don't read it for informative articles.

Ah yes Zip, the ads, the ads. [sigh]

Right. Am off watch Mr Men. Night veggers.
