I love rocket and roll, put another lime in the fruitbowl, baby - 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

I read that as 'panting' instead of painting and was wondering how good exactly, for you go get so excited.

Are you pg Tatties?

LOL at panting. Yes it really was that good

And at am I pg! I don't think so...

Avi, you can pop in here (if you don't mind utter chaos), we're probably the closest...ish...

Yes, must think about meet up again. Somewhere near Lulsgate? Hmmm.....

Okay, just for the sheer hell of it, how about Glastonbury?

Glastonbury festival? You have to enter competitions to get tickets now. Oh, you get the sunday pass if you live nearby though don't you, my friend's parents live in Bath and he always goes for the sunday even though he lives in France.

I am tired. My new way of putting ds2 back in his cot if he wakes up too early, ie before 6am, is working, he is cross but he goes back to sleep quickly. I couldn't get back to sleep though as DH was doing this hideous snoring. I felt like shaving some soap into his mouth but I got up instead.

There won't be any croissants for Pink now as we have eaten them all. Well, they were small, and I did have a whole mango to myself with a pt of raspberries seen as I was the only one up.

omg boco - is the poland thing a joke? why did you go to poland? what has been going on with toot? is carrot all recovered? please answer for yourselves or on behalf of others.

morning BBBee, I am the only one here I think.

Boco did go to Poland and was unfortunately not joking but was grateful to receive some jokes.

I am feeling dandy if a little tired.

Franny is bored

Avi might go to glastonbury with toot

Lully is makin us all cakes, she is going to send them later

Pink is coming here for coffee this morning

100 is in the smoke

idris has too much marking

um, can't remember anythiing else

morning, MrsC am shocked you have eaten Pink's croissants
I expect she will chastise you and quite right

have had huge lie in as sleeping is slightly less boring than anything else
still fkn bored, sorry, but will try to stop mentioning it, as it quite dull in itself

avi our window cleaner doesn't go up ladders, he has poles

I don't mean POLES from Poland

I will send ds to the shop in a minute for sme nice biscuits instead.

Morning loves

MrsC and Pink enjoy your croissants coffee

Franny have you anything planned today? Dp will be off later so ds and I shall go to Matalan to cheer ourselves up.

Avi a very categoric NO

no ds is invited to a beach party but dp is taking him
there is really fuck all I can actually do
well nothing that I can think of in my demented state

Oh dear Franny

Some creature has eaten the sunflower seedlings I planted in the garden I have some in a pot which are doing lovely, but I transferred a few to the flower bed and now they are gone

yes ours have been munched also
we are trying to grow some more but it's a bit late isn't it

Well I am not putting any more in the ground. Even if it is a bit late I might have a go with some more in pots [inexperienced gardener]

I would think this would be of interest to most of us

I ed at this bit though:

"Like pears, mangoes ripen slowly, but they generously hold on to their window of perfection longer, sometimes for a week or more (a pear can shoot its bolt in a day or less), giving you more of a chance to catch them at their best"

Snap at sunflower seedlings

I am feeling delicate. We have had 4 different lots of houseguest this week, last night DH passed out went to bed at 10pm, leaving me to entertain die-hard party people (and over escited children) until 1.30am when, mercifully, one of the guest children had a Dr Who-induced nightmare and effectively broke up the party. I am so exhausted. I want my house back. I want to go to bed at 9pm with a book and a mug of cocoa.

everyone is playing Star Wars trivial pursuit right now, allowing me some precious MN time

Mmmm Nigel

Oh you too with the sunflowers What is it eating them?

In your position FMF I would be feeling well and truly peopled-out. I would be hiding by now I reckon

oh FMF when are they going? I bet they have had a fab time, think of all those hostess points

dp has just managed to open his father's day present while tidying up in the spare room
it would be funny if it wasn't sad and irritating - he came downstairs looking very serious and sent ds upstairs so he couldn't hear Then hissed worriedly "I have just opened a box that I thought had nappies in it and it was PIRATE RELATED"

LOLOLOL oh dear
