Fruity Bitches at your Cervix - 10/10 thread, all welcome

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 herehere and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

Guadalupe · 16/07/2008 19:49

TooTicky · 16/07/2008 19:52

psst, Franny, ds2 is delighted to have "joked" you and is laughing up his sleeve. Well, he would be if he was wearing sleeves. He is half naked as usual.

Can't you just do some squatting Franny? Every now and then, or maybe thats bad for your painful bits. [useless at advice]

DD has made her teacher a card, with a very nice picture of her and lots of small children who all reach her knees. It looks like her a bit and has very red lips. Inside it says

Thank you for beeing my teecher. I licked beeing in yor class bicose it is a reelly nise class and you are a reelly nise teecher. I will miss you. Love from dd1.

I don't think I'll buy presents, that's enough isn't it?

TooTicky · 16/07/2008 19:53

That is lovely Boco. If I was a teacher, that is what I would appreciate the most.

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 16/07/2008 19:54

yes sorry squatting is out
bouncing is in - do you think all fours leaning on the birth ball would be no good then?

TooT what does he MEAN? I have taken every post as the gospel truth. And how did Mr Tennant get your log in details?

UnderRated · 16/07/2008 19:55

Sounds lovely Boco.

TooTicky · 16/07/2008 19:55

Which part would yopu be leaning with? I mean, you still need to be able to type.

OP posts:
TooTicky · 16/07/2008 19:57

And what about the webcam, eh? I mean, surely it would be easier to set it up now than update us between contractions.

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 16/07/2008 19:59

I thought I could lean OVER onto the sofa TooT and still type

right I know none of you want to hear about my giant reflexology poo
so I won't tell you

filthymindedvixen · 16/07/2008 19:59

hmm, can ds type yet? Can't he keep us updated while you sneeze this one out?

Boco · 16/07/2008 20:00

Oh a big poo is a good sign! It's the one poo ever that you are allowed to talk about in fact. The one that happens just before labour starts!

UnderRated · 16/07/2008 20:02

The first poo after delivery seems pretty important too. My, that hurt.

Well done, Franny

FrannyandZooey · 16/07/2008 20:05

ok I got the webcam fixed up
don't look for a minute, I'm just finishing something

TigerFeet · 16/07/2008 20:12

well done Lupe it is indeed what are you up to

However I find it far quicker to type "What are you up to?" than to remember the shorthand.

Lully I have the teeth falling out dream too never one about periods starting though.

How's the niggling going Frances?

TigerFeet · 16/07/2008 20:13

Oh sorry are we talking f&v?

Three plums
Some cherries (god they were nice)
Salad of lettuce, red cabbage, pepper, cucumber, onion, sweetcorn and, erm, other stuff
Fajitas with chicken, red, yellow & orange pepper and mushrooms.

No exercise today [kicks self]

UnderRated · 16/07/2008 20:15

LOL @ naked smoking labour, Franny. How very 10/10

FrannyandZooey · 16/07/2008 20:16
