Hey Mr. Tangerine Man - 10 / 10 thread

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

Toot, do you play scrabble?

stuffitall · 04/05/2008 19:49

More apples, carrots

Have prepared house for making asparagus soup
everything is clean, no housework to do, I can devote my full attention to it but feeling a bit unhopeful about the whole procedure

Stripped off to nics and bra today to do the gardening, as it was so hot and we have high hedges, it was v liberating. The children giggled like mad.

I don't understand - so, do you know her? Is she definitely an mner? Is she a random stranger. I have a couple of those who I befriended by accident. An american yoof who kept telling me my graffit rocked, and when i look at his wall it's all 'hey dude, you like suck ASSS, you are like totally GAY dude!'

It's anuvva weld.

UnderRated · 04/05/2008 19:58

Oh Boco, how strange. I only have people I know in RL and MNers on my FB. And a man that someone else introduced me to.

I would like to collect my namesakes but I fear they may be rather odd.

lol @ preparing the whole house for soup-making. If I stripped of to my undies to do the gardening, I would be arrested.

Boco · 04/05/2008 20:00

Well I only aimed to have people I know too, but accidentally agreed to be friends with a couple of people because I wasn't concentrating. That happens in real life too.

UnderRated · 04/05/2008 20:02

Oh Boco, you made me larf. Fancy making friends by accident when you aren't paying attention. It's a dangerous world!

FrayedKnot · 04/05/2008 20:03

Lol BBBee we do potentially have a friend in common

I have just added four people

But only two of you have replied so far...one of the ones who hasn;t replied yet is also your friend

It is a bit odd but logical if you think about it I suppose

After my recent performance adding someone who turned out not to be the person at all, I have got a bit bold

Boco · 04/05/2008 20:05

None of you have added me. Do you know my name?

UnderRated · 04/05/2008 20:07

I'd add you but you are all so secretive.

FrayedKnot · 04/05/2008 20:10

BBBee is away furiously changing her privacy settings so weirdos people like me can;t find her

Boco I have an idea

UnderRated · 04/05/2008 20:12

lol

FrayedKnot · 04/05/2008 20:13

UR you can find me with my e-mail address

TooTicky · 04/05/2008 20:15

Boco, there are 312 people with your name. Or what I thought was your name.

1 wierdo waiting for you FK.

I'm not sure about this MNers on FB business. You all have real names. And they're not right.

TooTicky · 04/05/2008 20:17

My name isn't actually my original name. I have never bonded with my current name, despite having it since I was 4 or 5.

TooTicky · 04/05/2008 20:18

I have TUMMY ACHE. I didn't poo this morning because I was wearing a swimming costume and, thinking about it, I'm not sure I pooed yesterday.

UnderRated · 04/05/2008 20:18

Oh that's interesting, Toot. My name was different for a while but my name is definitely me. Except that people often call me Rachel. Which is odd, because when I was very young, I really wished I'd been called Rachel.

UnderRated · 04/05/2008 20:19

Toot, you are funny. I know I shouldn't have but I laughed at your last post. I'm sorry. Could you do a poo now?

TooTicky · 04/05/2008 20:20

I have tried but it wasn't successful

stuffitall · 04/05/2008 20:20

v mysterious all this FB-ing in and out

go to a library first thing tomorrow toot -- it's a poo guarantee

TooTicky · 04/05/2008 20:21

oh god yes, ds2 used to poo in the library without fail. In his pants.
But it's bank holiday tomorrow.

UnderRated · 04/05/2008 20:21

Stuffit, do you poo in the library? Sending you poo vibes, Toot. Do you have any flax seed?

TooTicky · 04/05/2008 20:23

No, no flax seed. Or prunes.

stuffitall · 04/05/2008 20:23

not actually squatting in the adult fiction but one little mooch and I need to leave pronto then come back, it's a recognised medical phenomoen

forgot about bnk holiday, we are at school
