Raisins to be cherryful - 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

Where is everyone?

If I hadn;t been going to the gym lately, I would have wet myslef at Flat Stanley.

Sorry about your back too Avi.

I used to have horrible back probs when I worked full time. Dodgy sacroileac joint. Not sitting down for very long periods has really helped.

Hi pink

Hello Pink and FK,

Just popping in to see how everyone is, and to check for news from TooT

Hope everyone is well & feeling fruity.

Franny how [shock} about doula. You seem to be getting lots of great advice here too, it will be fine, you will get through it.

Boco - hope you are not too psychologically scarred by your experience, and MamaBoco, sounds just wonderful, hope she helped informyou put your mind at some sort of ease Mrs C

TooT:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hello briefly
back on track yesterday with banana carrots broccoli peas olives double portions of all boring but does the job
toot .. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx how is your little one
boco i think you are very brave and your mum is terrific and you have made me rofl -- I was imagining a tiny little tea room with your mum and mrs c discussing clitori while the teacups tinkled
hello slur and womble and bero and ur
fran have emailed you but it is not something helpful about legs I'm afraid
see you all later
xxx

zippi yes frightfully selfish and uncaring for not saying hello to me but your thing -- "it keeps being the next day all the time"
that's poetry

good morning everyone
TooT?

Our water is off and my cough is back. My (sorry, this is yuck) phlegm tastes rather horrid Will have to go back to dr at this rate.

Olive bread, banana, raisins

sorry u r still ill berolina

i am trying top leave shortly to do some gardeningbefore it rains

Morning all

Bero your mural sounds fab! Sorry you're feeling yuck

Hope your back improves soon Avi

Franny the midwife had me on my side for a bit when I was in labour. I didn't actually give birth like that but it was a relief to have a change of position

have nominated flat stanley for quote of the week

morning chaps
kiwis (3), pear (crunchy), banana, raisins

forgot to say amongst whinging last night I had mushroom, onion and courgette frittata, with cabbage, peas, sweetcorn, and the fabled beetroot (yes it has worked )
and then an apple

Avi how are you? TooT how is ds? Bero hope you feel better

ds is hobbling from his sorely knees but I have bribed him to go to nursery with the promise of kittens later

Oh dear Franny his knees still sore?

Hope TooT is back soon with news

Zippi hope the rain stays off!

oh I would think they will be sore for at least a week

he doesn't cope terribly bravely with injuries or pain

wonder where he could possibly get that from?

what can you do avi? surely you need to see someone who can tweak you?

the fat burning pill is obscene, I agree

however would be slightly tempted if someone left one on the table in front of me about now

Hi all, T i g e r F e e t here wearing a cunning disguise whilst I conduct a thorough character assasination of farking dh on a different thread.

Toot hope ds is on the mend. xxxxxx [nuts][mango]

Hurrah for Boco Sr she sounds lovely.

Franny I have a lovely friend who had progressively worse SPD with all three of her pregnancies and was wheelchair bound whilst pg with her dc3. I'm sure she would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Tell me more about the meet up - how what when where

oh Tiger Feet please email me on

frannyandzooey at india dot com

and I will tell you everything

I am very sorry for your friend...I want to talk to people who had it a little bit for 2 weeks and then it went away, though

ooh not IN my ears I hate things IN my ears
bleugh

are you still feeling positivity from Mama Boco MrsC? How are you getting on today?

Yes, am fine thanks, feel nervous still but more positive. Going for a lie-down, ds2 woke up a lot last night.

hope you have a good rest
try not to dwell on Mama Boco's sex life won't you now

Ok well I think whatever she told mrsC must have been things she read in a book because she doesn't or hasn't done anything like that. She conceived me artificially under general anaesthetic in a hospital. So, that's fine. She had to because she only has molded plastic parts like a doll. Ok?

Ok Boco luvvie
We get you

My mother went into graphic detail about my father's sexual preferences after he left her

I SO did not want that information buzzing about in my head

a pidgeon hit the window wiith a huge thud earlier & my heart has not recovered yet
ds thought it funny

Still no TooT? I know she probably has more pressing things to do. But doesn't she realise we're all camped out in the yurt waiting for news!!

I know loads of people who had really quick SPD Franny that went within a week or two and hardly stopped them doing anything at all. Especially riding bikes and doing sports and running round after other children. If you want to speak to any of them just ring me and I'm sure they'll be here and will speak to you and tell you it will all be fine

Yuck at pidgeon @ parents talking about sex.

Tiger, haven't seen your other thread but hope you are ok.

Where's Toot?

Hope everyone else is ok.

I seem to have scary red eczema on my eyelids. I had it once before, about 10 yrs ago. It is making me look even more washed out that I usually do and I think I have a bit of a junkie look going on. wonderful.
