Lentil Guru - is it stew? - 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

Nowt wrong with Bristol TooT. It's fun. There are freaks everywhere to make you feel better about yersel.

Windmill Hill is horrid. According to my friend. I have never been there. Wrong side of the river see?

AND the bus (aargh brain blank casn't remember number!) that comes from WSM via Winscombe/Wrington etc, know the one? Also goes to airport then through Bedminster.

Sorry OB how are you, I didn't refresh before I posted so I didn't see you there!

That's the side of the river I lived on. Used to go to Young City Farmers club at Wh ON sATURDAY MORNINGS ...HAPPY DAYS...

OMG I typed casn't
I am NOT Bristolian. No offence to anybody who is, but I am NOT.

OB, I went to school in Bristoil. I was one of the freaks.

Dp is attacking the tap with various heavy objects.

ill come depending if im here

Oh good Zippi

What school TooT? LOL at NOT bristolian - I wrote a similar thing myself a couple of days ago! Yes, tis the Better Food Co - much bigger now with events n talks n all sorts of shit inspiring stuff. Good salads and cakes though.

Hello womb!

I think for all round fun St Werbs has it nailed. And it's full of hippies likely 10/10 recruits

i think we are booking a short break in portugsl in july..we are going to do that this weekend i think

Slightly more hassle to get to thoughg.
Hengrove school. BEFORE the drug issues.

will i need to borrow a small person for the day

I like stiffit too, and I disappeared to the boring school

OB that's a huge trip! we're not down in Kerala but might doing a trip that direction we should keep on top of that as it could work, also Rajasthan is an option too wow what a holiday that will be, covering so many miles, you lucky thing. It's lovely down in Kerala are you going on a boat?
be careful of the swimming at Kovalam if you head to the south coast (pulled out by lifesavers, it's a shitty rip current)

ok I am going to set up a stuffit mail account wombling
i hope some of this works out, it would be extremely marvellous

my ds has rotten self-esteem and poor organisation and is always getting detentions and being told off but the whole class had to put this play together and he was SSSOOO nervous and I was too, because you know when these things go wrong it LASTS for ever in their mind

he did this solo dance at the beginning and people cheered and whooped, i swear i could have wept with pride

I'm so sorry not to have read in, feel like a poor internet chum

Then Cotham for spending time in the pubs 6th form.

toot get back to the right thread you silly sausage

whoops i thought you were on the schools thread withdraw silly sausage accusation and redirect to myself

Stuffit, how old is ds? Does he have friends? Is school supportive and kind?

silly veggie sausage [dignified]

Stuffit, do you want to email me and tell me when you will be in Wales? [email protected]

lol think I'm a 2p asda one

he's 12 Toot -- they're ok, I blame myself for a lot of it from when he was little.. my mil took over from birth and I didn't manage very well or bond.. I just didn't get it.. it's a constant struggle to boost him now

Boys are quite tricky, aren't they?

blimey -- impressively arcane email address
will do so

TooT - Cotham Grammar eh? That is where we shall prob try and get SD into. She is in Colston's primary school round the corner. Not Colston Girls School i hasten to point out. Mega $$.

Stuffit - we are going to get a house boat thingy in Kerala and investigate food. DH feels the need to see mountains so will have to fit that in too.

Have friends with houses in Goa so may just end up going there and doing nuffink.

Cotham's quite eclectic, but my (younger) friend did get bullied there. Mind you, it can happen anywhere. They adopted a "no blame" approach to bullying and Esther Rantzen came.
Cotham's quite a good bet really.
I find the whole secondary school thing rather scary.

QEH fascinates me. Do the boarders still walk around in full uniform?
