Riders on the Corn - 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

Dd2 is on the mend
I am desperately replenishing myself with salad and rice and leftover chocolate fudge icing after several hours nonstop bf

Sports day can be very hard. I remember ds1 sobbing and clinging to a bench after one when he was about 6. I think they should incorporate other skills.

Hat sounds wonderrful. I would like to see it on a small person (hint hint Franny)

Sorry Franny, I am not hassling.

Btw, is your paypal address the one I normally send emails to?

oh yes touche Avi! I can see I must try harder to be original. What a complete doddle. I'm glad I can't do it

TooT nonono, please send to my other one if you know it (I will email it to you if not)

Yes Franny, email it to me please because I'm not sure.

Why don't you take up crochet? Doesn't call for so much coordination. See if you can learn before the baby comes.....

I can cross stitch - that'll do me

will email you, TooT

Just checking in. Nothing to tell except apple juice, raisins, carrots, peas, tomato, sweetcorn, onion/beans/mushrooms in saus cass. satsumas. 8. Was going to say really bad day F&V wise because I've not been shopping since before hols but I guess I did ok

I see you're still pg Franny. Don't you think it's wearing a bit thin now

Oh Avi, knitting! You're so clever! I wish I could knit

Oh god cross stitch. I started one when I was pg for my friend's wedding present. I thought I'd get it done before I had dd. Thier 2nd wedding anniversary is in December and I'm still not finished!

they take years
I do very little ones (well I used to)

pink thin is precisely what it is NOT

have had cabbage and broccoli and corn - at least 4 portions

Hello

Still 'ere, Franny?

I can;t knit, or crochet, and haven;t the patience to embroider things.

I have nothing much to report either.

Oh except TooT I got the parcel, thank you! Will e-mail xx

Moderate f&v.

I have cleared out 2 drawers absolutely stuffed full of crap
they were busting at the seams and I have sent bags and bags to recycling and bin
said drawers just about close easily now - only just about, mind you
how do things expand to fill all the available space? Is there some law of physics about it?

Franny, will you please stop reminding me of things I should be doing insteadofmumsnetting like cross-stitch and clearing out drawers (well boxes in my case!) Photos, bank statements, bills, cards and general crap with no home gets put in a box until it gets full then shoved in the loft/garage! I have loads of sorting to do

if you still have room in your loft and garage then what is the problem?

Oh yes, are we doing closing or opening at the minute Franny? You've well and truly missed my on time prediction! You could still call her Liberty though

Oh no my 'puter is doing weird things again

I think I posted on here but now I can;t see it

your last post before the wierd 'puter was just before 10pm FK. Have you just done one that's not appeared?

No, that was the one I couldn;t see!

I had to change the date on the PC earlier, it was 8th Sept for some reason and on another site it wouldn;t log me in due to cookie issues.

I am a little confused

Franny if that isn;t nesting.....

Here comes Windy >>>>>>>>

That was not a reference to my f&v consumption, I was visualizing

It's still doing it, I am stuck at Franny's post of 18:43, then when I post again I can see everything

If I start posting random dots, you will know why

Hello FK

Morning

I want to see the vegetable hat!

My house is tidy and finished It makes me feel very serene but it is strange... I'm going to try to teach myself how to crochet. I may shout for help TooT!

.

Morning

Hello Tatties

DS was up at 5.30 this morning. We had a half hearted attempt to all go back to sleep but it didn;t work.

It seemed to be linked to hunger. He has had three breakfasts so far

I have requests for paper plates and sticking things so off to rummage

I can see rain and blue sky at the same time...I wish it would make up it#s mind
