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

Dd2 has woken up terribly hot and miserable today She seemed to spend most of the night bf and gulping down water.

I test Lush stuff because I wrote to them and said that I really liked their products and that if they ever wanted anybody to test them, they had only to ask. They wrote back saying they had plenty of testers thenk you but would keep my name on a list. Shortly after that I receiverd a box of goodies and havebeen receiving them periodically ever since.

Stuffit - I think my proper name shows up on m You can find me on facebook with that. I don't do all that much on there but it is fun to collect friends.

TooTicky · 14/06/2008 09:31

Stuffit, tha tis supposed to say that my name shows up on my email. Not sure what happened there.

Boco · 14/06/2008 09:32

The Franzo's and the Family Guadalupe are visiting today so have stockpiled fruit and veg and last night we made cake (actually I was creative director and dp did the actual work)

Wrestling dd1 into ballet outfit and trying to get her out the door, but she's busy playing a complicated and dramatic game with dd2 involving a lot of pretend crying which is making me go all prickly.

TooTicky · 14/06/2008 09:33

Another Eastern meet up
Should the Bristol on e actually come about I will have no shame in talking about it relentlessly.

zippitippitoes · 14/06/2008 09:34

i have never used lush in fact never saw a shop till i went to taunton with bf

picked a cake in there for my sis birthday but then panicked i had lost my walet so bf bought it and said well you will have to keep it now as i bought it for you

it is sat in the bath and i keep being tempted to eat it when i sit on the loo

i feel they would be allergic nightmare for me

Boco · 14/06/2008 09:39

My sil always buys me a lush item for xmas and I've never actually used them There's something so sweet and sicky about them that I just don't like to - and maybe it's because going past the shop when pg used to make me gag so I'd have to edge along the far side of the road. But they look pretty and I can see the appeal.

TooTicky · 14/06/2008 09:44

Some of their products are very sweet and the shop as a whole is overpowering, but they do have some gems

FrannyandZooey · 14/06/2008 09:52

they annoy me a little as they do make out they are very natural etc and the products are full of SLS and parabens
however I used to buy their stuff a lot and do miss the effects some of the products had as they were very effective - particularly hair care stuff - almost all the shampoos and conditioners are excellent
that's great they send you lots of stuff TooT! what a good idea to write to them

breakfast is apple, banana, orange, grapes, melon, raisins = 5

TooTicky · 14/06/2008 09:54

Yes, I prefer the more natural ones. Love Angels on Bare Skin andf some of the moisturisers. And the fizzy things are good.

No food. Snuggling small hot person who doesn't want me to move.

FrannyandZooey · 14/06/2008 09:58

I love Cynthia Sylvia Stout (smells like coca cola or something!) and that dusting powder - forget the name - Silky Undies, that's it! very sweet and a lovely fine powder
I am jealous about the Ice Blue, it makes your whole head TINGLE

FrannyandZooey · 14/06/2008 10:00

right am going to have feet messed with
wonder if I can get away with nice bright polish
my feet do look a bit freaking old, tbh, Boco if I turn up with mutton dressed as lamb toenails don't tell me

Boco · 14/06/2008 10:05

I have freaking odd feet too Franny, my big toes are the size of potatoes and all the other ones are small. I can't wear thong type sandals as the gap between mutant big toe and the others is so big I have go grip like a monkey. My dad used to tell me my big toe is where I keep all my special powers.

BBBee · 14/06/2008 10:07

have not emialoed you about west meet toot as i am not actaul west i just 'go west' for studies and that is during the week so it is not going to fit in is it really.

I will 'go east' in the summer and demand cake from boco.

Guadalupe · 14/06/2008 10:22

I have a headache

I only went to see a friend for tapas and we drank Too Much Prossecco and listened to all our teenage bands and laughed until very late.

Then ds2 decided to be awake a lot of the night to punishe me for having fun.

I have eaten a vast breakfast of smoked salmon, scrambled egg and toast and jam and some grapefruit juice to try to be healthy.

I hope I have perked up to be sprightly at Boco's. I know, I will take MORE prossecco and have hair of the dog there and it will be fine.

Toot - what a marvellous idea. I am going to write to my favourite cosmetics company and see if I can test things, though I don't know what my favourite is. I quite like Weleda too.

BBBee · 14/06/2008 10:54

well you had fun mrsc and the headache is a small price to pay. boco will be all clam and funny and ave cake and you will feel wonderful again.

Guadalupe · 14/06/2008 10:55

I hope so

I keep burning the quinoi

TooTicky · 14/06/2008 10:57

Bee, I was just being optimistic with the meet up. Sorry you can't make it

Guadalupe · 14/06/2008 10:58

there will be quite a few in the west though won't there, Toot? Have you decided where to go?

BBBee · 14/06/2008 10:59

i know toot - but the west city is very much my study ground and i fly in, study, and fly out again - without children obviously and i don;t think i could justify a trek there - oh hang on though i could bring the children couldn't i? um,um, will emial.

my brain doesn;t work very well at the minute.

BBBee · 14/06/2008 11:00

oh and before you stamp carbon footprints on me i don;t actually fly in and out. I drive come on the train.

BBBee · 14/06/2008 11:00

oh toot what is your email address?
