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

Sorry, am getting carried away with

but you have to go, he doesn't have to stay, that should be the important issue with custody, that he could come to england if he wanted to

Does he live with you? Or with Ex at the minute?

[thumps keyboard]

Oh this must be frustrating for you, because you can't tell us and we are hitting keyboards and asking too many questions.

You use as many as you want to UR, you don't have to apologise.

Lots of positive thoughts & hand squeezes from me, coming your way. What an arse your ex sounds.

DS spends weekdays (& nights) with me and weekends with ex.

Sorry I can't give details. You're all right though, there is a simple solution - ex could come back to the UK. But he won't.

Anyway, enough about me.

I have a suspicious looking mango that I am going to palm off on the kids.

You are all very lovely btw. Thank you. I haven't really mentioned this before but caved yesterday. Sorry.

[bites tongue]

Nggggghhggg or, or you could bring him back because you are his mother and he has to come and visit. Nggggg.

Yes, I know. We'll stop. We'll do hand holding and mango prodding instead.

no, not enough about you, UR, we are demanding but we want to help

just because he doesn't want to isn't good enough. How come the fact that he has an option doesn't affect the custody case?

UR, if you wanted to speak to any of us by email I am sure we are all willing.

Arse, have forgotten what else I was going to say.
Ds1 cooking drop scones, dd2 sorting cherries.

it is so patently unfair and wrong in every single way
I know this is not going to be news to you or anything UR
but it just.....nnnnnnghh.....makes one's head......aaaaaaarghhhh.....want to explode with injustice and WRONGNESS

yes, it is mind bogglingly stupid and unjust, how can such a thing happen in America?

I forgot the hmm...

yes, tell us about salad, Franny

errrrr

UR how rude are we allowed to be about Americans please?

oh good I hoped there was a that had fallen off there, it was hard for a moment to know
oh well MrsC started it not me

right
the salad
will gather myself and try to do it justice
I should probably email details to MrsC and let her put it in a sonnet, really

a salad sonnet, now there's a thing

um, Franny, Aitch agreed today that my name is humdrum...

oh grrrr, how can a carrot be humdrum? there is poetry in a carrot

I told her you'd sulk

you know you will try something else and then come back to carrothood with your tail roots between your legs

I am allowed to shake off my blousey apron now and then aren't I, I always come back anyway

I'm not sulking I'm

oh ok I am sulking

right
the salad of delight
