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

Tell her Avi and I nearly had a conversation about benign neglect and Thomas the Tank Engine. That'll perk her up no end.

Yes, go up with a ladder to do gutters. And being up there means you can inspect more closely and hope that the problem is easily (and inexpesnively) solved.

I like the auditor one but I wasn't entirely sure I got it [thick]

ahundredtimes · 29/05/2008 21:44

I didn't get it.

I don't think I know what an auditor is.

TigerFeet · 29/05/2008 21:46

Does it refer to financial auditing?

DH is an auditor but not finanical. He audits farms.

FrayedKnot · 29/05/2008 21:46

I am hopeless at jokes. I file them in that part of my mind that has big holes like swiss cheese and when I go back to look for them, they are gone.

Sorry Boco

The chair sounds horrendous. My sister had a similar chair / no food experience in a Spanish hospital.

DS was introduced to Thomas by his cousin at a very early age and thus we have rather a lot of Thomas gear. Mostly wooden, and they do interchange with the Brio. I don;t mind the actual trains eitehr, but we do have books and I hate them. Luckily lately I am allowed to choose the bedtime story books so we haven;t had to read any for a while. And I am very adept at changing lots of the words and even skipping great chunks out as necessary.

Am hoping DS will have lost interest by the time he can actually read.

IdrisTheDragon · 29/05/2008 21:48

I was a financial auditor. The joke is slightly funny as there auditors often just do whatever was done in the audit the year before without thinking about whether it is the best approach to take.

I will tell my sister's first ever joke instead.

IdrisTheDragon · 29/05/2008 21:49

How did the lady get out of the well?

She had a ladder in her tights.

She told it when she was about 6

ahundredtimes · 29/05/2008 21:50

My favourite joke is

What did the 0 say to the 8?

Like your belt.

UnderRated · 29/05/2008 21:53

I love these jokes. I can never remember anything more intellectual

The Man tells me complicated ones that I can never remember.

MrsCarrot · 29/05/2008 21:56

oh, thank you, I didn't get the auditor one either

My favourite one as a child used to be,

where do you find a hedgehog with no legs

where you left it

Boom boom

FrannyandZooey · 29/05/2008 22:10

stuffitllama · 29/05/2008 22:48

UR your jokes are excellent
and winky wonky donkey
have waited until everyone has legged it to say two bananas
it's all going fruitastically wrong

UnderRated · 29/05/2008 22:53

Oh Stuffit, I'm still here. Don't think you're 'two bananas' has gone unnoticed.

I think we need a boot camp next week. My Dad will be here so I'll have to have real food in. That will be v good for my 10/10. In the meantime, it's going to be quite bad.

berolina · 29/05/2008 22:55

Night all < wave in the direction of Poland to Boco>

UR have emailed you.

Very much enjoying the slug/snail joke.

berolina · 29/05/2008 22:56

(cheeringly) stuffit, two bananas is (are?) better than no bananas

TooTicky · 29/05/2008 23:00

Stuffit, how are you? How was the trip?
