Hey Mr. Tangerine Man - 10 / 10 thread

[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

oh and the cherries soaked in kirsch preserves thier vitamin content adn then the dark chocolate has antioxidants.

They are virually one of those superfoods. I am going to devise a detox around them. And coffee.

I will be famous like carol voderman but wuth a more symmetrical face and not so much number sense. I will throw a champagne party to celebrate my success and you can come. I won;t forget where I started.

oh boco - dp ids OFFICAILLY a TWAT and yoiu shoudl divorce him for lack of choccolate buying skills.

Can you make hot chocolate - the half way inadequate stop gap.

hallo, its tangerine time here and i am going to buy some mandarins from a orchard stall shortly. I need to boost my health so will start coming here regular will help Also put on some weight. Had an iridology test and while my constitution is good they recommended more fruit and vege... Had porridge, cooked two huge pears Mum picked, and then added that to porridge for breakfast. Already had a sandwich, with avocado and riccola in it. Add an apple, new variety of Fuji, they are huge. I will get to 10 !

hello papillon

how are you - wonderful to see you again. You should get franny to do a boot camp to celebrate you coming back.

BBBee - the world (being watched going by) in this case being MN

I would do your kirsch-and-coffee detox.

I have put ds2 down! And even covered him with a blanket! And he is still asleep!

I'll look forward to that Bee. Very much. I'm not going to buy the chocolates though because I'm on an essentials only budget this month.

DDs both have toes hanging over the end of last years summer sandals and I'm trying to convince myself that it's not really an essential. DD2 can wear her winter shoes but dd1 only has school shoes and trainers that don't fit. She has freakish feet that are too narrow for most shoe shops and startright adn a fricking rip off aren't they - £36! Had to make a sharp exit on saturday.

Sorry that's boring.

A boot camp! I am ataken back, I thought Franny liked mixed baskets of toys. I will revolt.

Just ate cooked pears, I am infant feeding myself, feels healthy.

I could offer you shoes but we are a fat feet family. I kind of envy your slim feet - like ballet dancers.

no we need to odd threat of boot camp or we stray off into coffee and chocolate detox.

Do you know 100 once ate a whole wheel of brie and drank a pint of coffee whilst on the way tot he schhol run.

We need reigning in you see.

She is a C fitting - so narrow, like a slice of foot rather than a foot.

Its pouring with rain here and I am hoping to have a new roof and insulation on on Wednesday My folks have gone to the States for a month, and I heard last night that they are staying on another month... am going to move into their lovely house while mine leaks and gets repaired. They have a spa pool ...ahhhhh

I am working 30 hours a week at a native tree restoration nursery, but doing homework today cos of the rain, MN as well...

bring it on, I need telling off. They are sending a free iridology, naturopath consultant to my house sometime soon, to sort me out... so I will have stars on my boots by the end of May.

I'm having a text argument with a friend about an argument we had over a year ago and whether or not it was a cunt that she called my brother. She swears it was cretin but it was cunt.

what a bizarre and confusing thing to have a text message argument about. Did she call him it by text? Correctrive text won't let me write cunt - cahnges it to boat or something.

I hate her - I am in love with your borhter. We are married in a pareelel universe you knopw.

No she said it to me in rl - that he was a cunt, and I defended him and then we had an argument and she cried and we didn't talk for a while and now she's downgraded it to cretin.

He's single and heartbroken atm Bee.

lol @ all the poo jokes [childish]

Did 100 really eat all that Brie? I don't feel so bad for scoffing a huge wodge in a couple of days.

Hello Pap. Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd say.

What a strange argument, Boco

Ooo, talk of single men

Yes I've simplified it quite a lot.

No actually, I haven't that's about it. 27 texts that say 'it was fucking well cunt!' are not part of my monthly essential budget really are they.

UR you keep having cause to tell me how odd I am. I'm being a bit foolish I think - I must go to bed on my squashy floor mattress.

And yes, 100 really did eat all that brie, she has a really really big bag for carrying around all her brie. It's a fact.

goodnight x

Sorry Boco - it's not that you are odd at all. You just do lots of amusing things

call me Paps if thats any better underrated... its my abbrev name round here.

Butternut pumpkin soup for lunch, 2 mandarins.. think I will pick some crab apples this arvo, probably need 4 or 5 for a portion. Hope it doesnt have adverse effects later!

I had a luvverly salad for dinner with slightly dodgy feta but lots of spinach, tomatoes & olives meant for gin (they ran out of normal ones).

Paps, I think I shall have to use your full name. Or an abbreviation and snigger quietly to myself. They call smear tests 'paps' over here so I just can't say it without remembering that I need to book an appointment.

Hello Paps! I love it when a vegger returns

Morning all
ds up at 5.30 crying because we can't go to End of The Road this year. We really can't, can we, the baby might only be 6 weeks old, I mean we just can't. Tell me I am not just being mean and boring. We thought of going to another one before the baby was born but I can't do long car journeys. I have glossed over the pelvic pain / camping combo altogether. Now I bet everyone will come and say they went to a festival when they were 9 montns pg and gave birth there while watching someone on the main stage.

Speaking as someone who was half an hour away from giving birth on a Berlin bus I would say giving birth in front of the main stage was nothing really

No, really, I'm with you. Poor ds, but with such a young baby it would be misery for you, I think. Can you plan something else, still nice for ds but a bit moe suitable? When ds2 was about 7-8 weeks we went to stay with lovely friends. It was a 6-hour train journey and it was fine.

dh is a twat twat arsey twat

he is sodding of biking when ds was promised a day out

I have a crying child
a headache
& I want a divorce
NOW
