No time for losers, cos we are the champignons - 10 / 10 thread

[FrannyandZucchini]

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

Franny, I would very plaintively like to know when you are next making playdough, and if it were soon, if I could maybe buy some from you

oh yes, I did. You still need a bag in case. I think you are doing the best thing, it's much harder to make the decision the other way round.

Of course you are probably far too busy with other things

Understandably

Oh TooT I would LOVE to make you playdough and would happily send you as much as you wanted but it would cost silly amounts to post
I can easily easily teach you how to do it
and it'll cost you pennies only

Oh but I would pay - I can't make it, I really can't. I can't do any more in the kitchen than I do already, for reasons of crumbling sanity.
I remembered you talking about your lovely colours and scents.... dd2 played with play dough at the hospital and rather fell in love with it, and her birthday is coming up.

BUT god knows you won't want to be slaving over a hot pan just now. Was just being hopeful, in case you were making some anyway...

nono I would love to
and I would happily pay the postage and send you it for love
but I really think it is SO EASY really truly and you are such a fab cook anyway it would be such a waste for me to make it and post it
but yes I will if you really can't bear it, I like making it
you would LOVE it TooT it would restore your sanity, the bit where it comes out all warm and fragrant and you have to knead it, is so wonderful and good for your soul

we are going to the circus
it's going to be a fab one I think

Hello. Am clearing up after dds party, it went really well, coconut shy, pin the tail on the rhino, we had home made bunting and games - was good. Can't believe how lucky we were with the weather, it's been a clear sunny day.
Brother just left in and inlaws staying until tomorrow. (that thread turned rather didn't it?)

Sounds really splendid Boco
Have just been reading your other thread
How are you feeling?

Have been to an airshow
It was hot & noisy & smelly & dusty & full of foul people & foul food stalls.
My idea of hell actually
ds thought it was utterly marvellous though as it involved bunjee trampoline rides,simulators,bouncy castles & ice cream.

My face is burnt & sore

oh lully nice name shame about the horror of your day out

i have had a lovely afternoon in a nearby village going to their open gardens on that open garden scheme

was very posh and immaculate and full to gills with very posh immaculate old people

so i felt very young and athletic

gardens were amazing the kind of wonderful plants that you know you could never emulate along with the kind of care that seems to involve nail scissors to trim everything with and spend ing 36 hors u a day hand picking insect life from leaves before polishing the tree trunks

Hello everyone.

I haven't time to read thread, am just popping in to check how my child banding age books political action is proceeding.

We went to the most 10/10 place EVER today for lunch today, in Glastonbury. I thought of you all. The food was delicious.

Hope all well.

oh where was it 100, I always think the Assembly Rooms at Glastonbury would be a perfect 10 / 10 meeting place - all those salads and even vegan mayonnaise for TooT

Boco how brilliant - a coconut shy! I was so jealous impressed at the almost unilateral kind reception your thread got actually
I don't think I have seen such warmth and support on a thread that could have so easily been a witch hunt against the OP
not that you deserved a witch hunt - just that it was easy to criticise if you wanted to

zippi glad to hear you and your knee are feeling more athletic

Lully love your name, hope you can soothe burnt parts with an avocado or something

circus was MAGNIFIQUE
there was a human cannonball, fab trapeze act, a really bizarre but good ping pong ball act and a scary crossbow thing where people were actually ducking and hiding. I seriously thought someone might die.

Ds's favourite was "sticking big sharp knives into the woman". Hmmmmmm. They did one of those fairly disturbing 'severed head' tricks. I thought ds might be really freaked out as he has never seen anything like it before, and was preparing to quickly tell him it was a trick, but he just said in tones of the vaguest concern "oh dear no head...."

yes i managed styles no really far walking tho not more than a couple of miles

of course i thought you felt young being with young people but have just dioscovered the rather glaringly obvious fact that no yoiiu feel young when everyone around ypou is at least 86

circus sounds fun

and lol at severed head and knives

saw dgs this pm came into their back garden because they awanted me to take stuff to the tip

i did that then went off to do my garden poncing
and then came back a few hours later

dgs greeted me with polite oh hell grandma (momentary pause) again

with raised eyebrow inflection

oh hello

tho oh hell probably wouldnt have been surprising

LOL at oh hell grandma again
which is of course my reaction to my mum coming

ooooooh zipps & franny
your days sound lovely

sounds like the circus we went to last year...was fab

100x..that place sounds very good
Forgot to say,that I tried to take my father & partner to the 10/10 ish place in Covent Garden...they perused the menu...said 'Oh salads' & ambled off in search of something & chips
I was most sad & ds cried with dissapointment

lol

well they are in a flat spin of painintgin and going to the tip because grandad is coming on weds

ie exh and it is his house they all live

and horror of horrors his parents my exinlaws great grandma and great granddad are coming next weekend hahahaha

i remember that so well

they wont be seeing me tho

only exmil can say things like

well once you do in here it wil look nice...after you have just spent a pmonth decorating

get the national gardesn scheme book lully

very civilised

cream teas and great for nosing behind all those pretty houses

i also bought a jar of marmalade and in a different garden a jar of raspberry and redcurrant jam each 2 quid

probably totally contra health and safety

part of the charm

here you go gardens

i used to take my kids but today i was by far the youngest by about 30 years

Oh sounds so lovely & just up my street..but dont drive & dh wouldn't go.No sireee
