Riders on the Corn - 10 / 10 thread

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

my friend had her boy at the weekend. She has called him the same name as my ds2.

TooTicky · 10/07/2008 13:43

We need a new thread, I can't be doing with all these slow dinosaurs when I want news!
Any ideas? Can anybody think of a good topical title?

Tatties · 10/07/2008 13:43

OOOOooooooOOOOOoooohhhh! So there might be news soon! [excited]
I also thought that about collective period TooT

Tatties · 10/07/2008 13:45

Guad I love your ds2's name. I cannot for the life of me remember what your ds1 is called though

Boco · 10/07/2008 13:54

Waaaah! How exciting - a show!
I skimmed thread and thought it was of the musical performance variety rather than the bloody mucous plug - so things are happening!

With dd1 I had a show in the morning and dd was born at 1.30am.
go Franny!

OsmosisBanana · 10/07/2008 13:59

Got it in one TooT. Or hold off till 9am tomorrow.

Either way I don't win the sweepstake darn it.

Pute back at home now, fixed by wanky people, (long story) won't go online though. Fucksticks. Maybe I should seek out le lapin?

What is up with DC eye TooT? Is this hospital visit related? [forgetful]

TooTicky · 10/07/2008 14:01

Boco, are you expecting her to give birth to a horse or do you suspect the midwife to be of equine persuasion?

Tatties · 10/07/2008 14:02

I have to go out very soon but will be back later. My suggestion for new title is the fruits of our labour

Boco · 10/07/2008 14:04

Is a doula not like a small pony?

Umm, I don't know, ignore the horse - I needed an open window in a hurry and the horse was just there.

I want to know what the deleted message revealed! Was it just clues?

Boco · 10/07/2008 14:04

Or how about 'The fruit of Franny's Loins'

LullyOfShallot · 10/07/2008 14:04

Fabulous Tatties

LullyOfShallot · 10/07/2008 14:05

Noooooooooooooo Boco

LullyOfShallot · 10/07/2008 14:06

Someone do the title quick

TooTicky · 10/07/2008 14:07

It's the ongoing eye saga OB. Ds2 appeared to be coping well with it all but is now struggling - not sure if this is physical or cumulative IYSWIM.
I think I was so chilled about it when it happened (well, apart from the GA bits) that it is catching up with me too, and waiting for the referral was making me edgy.
Anyway, we can go and see consultant chappy on Monday just to check if there are new problems or, well, I don't know

We all have colds and short tempers this week. Dp is climbing the walls and shouting a lot because the dcs bicker and emit shrieks.

Okay, moan over

How is the Frannulous one?

Guadalupe · 10/07/2008 14:08

I wondered about the horse too..

Tatties · 10/07/2008 14:08

Or the fruits of Franny's labour

LullyOfShallot · 10/07/2008 14:12

yes

OsmosisBanana · 10/07/2008 14:12

What about 'Franny's having a baby we don't have a title'

TooTicky · 10/07/2008 14:13

Is anybody doing it? We can't fall off the edge of the world today of all days.

LullyOfShallot · 10/07/2008 14:17

Toot
Over to you

TooTicky · 10/07/2008 14:18

The Fruits of Franny's Labour, then?

TooTicky · 10/07/2008 14:21

Yes? No?

FrannyandZooey · 10/07/2008 14:21

oh no I am too shy
do the fruits of our labour (hopefully)
