You're a part-time vegger and full time friend... 10/10 thread - all welcome

[pinkspottywellies]

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.

Oh Avi, if you are about, if you don't receive an email from me then please shout. I have seen the parcel!!!! But I don't have it.

I haven't had a reply today but hopefully he's still improving. I feel bad now, as Franny did actually say he was feeding better but for most of the conversation we were amazed about the lack of feeding support and in being angry about that I forgot to convey that he was a bit brighter. Sorry - I am not a very good messenger!

don't worry Guad, I'm just glad you can keep us updated. Seems silly in a way to worry about someone I've never met, but I am - sure we're all in the same boat!

that's the funny thing though isn't it, theoretically this is just the internet but even if you haven't met people and become friends in real life you can still develop a relationship with them. I probably speak more regularly to people on here than I do to other friends.

Guad, keep those updates comong, you are doing a grand job. I've never met Franny either but I am fretting.

Shit shit shit shit

Name changed

Obv

I had an upsettng morning. I was using a voucher I had been given to have a facial. I left ds2 with a friend, don't usually do that, andwhen I was walking along I texted Franny and nearly bumped into a man. I said sorry very nicely, even though he was reading the newspape r as he walked and when he passed me he said 'watch where you're fucking going you stupid cow'. He was reading, and I had apologised!

I put it out of my mind but then I had to fill in a health form at the place and when the beautician came in she said they couldn't do the normal facial for five years after a cancer diagnosis, I would have to have the refresher as that doens't involve any massage. Unless I had a doctors note that it.

I burst into tears and I NEVER cry in front of people usually, just I had really been looking forward to it. I said that I had four complimentary massage sessions at the Big C centre so obviously massage is fine but she said it's just policy. I had the sshort treatment but I felt upset by then and didn't really enjoy it. I still have the Thai wellbeing voucher from 10/10 ers so I will go and have that and not write it on the form. It didn't occur to me not to, the questions asked if you had any surgery recently so I said yes.

anyway maybe the day will improve, is the last day of school so we might take them out for tea as a treat.

Don't worry Guad you're a very good messenger.

Had to go to bed for an hour and leave dd2 in front of a dvd as feeling rather rough now, streaming cold adn headache. I woke up with someone at the door and so was a bit fuzzy - a woman said 'hello, can I just ask you a question? With the world spiraling into crisis, global warming and the credit crunch looming, do you trust politicians to sort it out, or is it time to ask God?'

I just gawped at her for what felt like ages, really couldn't form a coherent sentence. In the end I said 'i'll think about that another time but I don't want to read your magazine so don't give it to me please'.

Does anyone else find that difficult? It's such an odd thing to do I think, even if you're a christian, it's quite brave really, I can't imagine she gets many sensible answers to her question.

Anyway I'm rambling.

oh thats crap Guad! What a horrible man, firstly. A woman once bumped into me in the street, I said sorry (habit, she barged into ME not the ohter way around) and she turned around and shouted "you fucking will be" and cackled with all ehr mates - I was very shaken.

What a pity about your facial as well, after looking forward to it so much

I never know what to say either Boco, usually just that I am busy at that moment. Mostly i don't answer if I see someone with a clipboard bbut you don't have glass in your front door do you? I screen the visitors and phone calls. I am very unsociable.

Oh dear Guad, sorry you're having a bad day. I can only read the first bit about the stupid horrible idiot man, the rest is all scrambled because my computer keeps going funny and putting big grey squares in the middle. Hate it when people are rude like that, hope he walked into a lamp post and broke his nose.

That's what he was like, sort of spat it out at me, even though I had smiled and said sorry. He was a mean little weasel of a man. I thought all sorts of nasty things that I won't repeat.

I just said they wouldn't do my facial as I hadn't been clear of cancer for five years, Boco, was a bit upsetting.

When my curser goes over my name on here a little pop up says go to your calender. I don't have a calender except for on the wall and it can't mean that can it?

you're obviously a much nicer person than me Guad - I'll say it for you "he is a twatty pigdoggy dickhead"

There.

Boco - DH once answered the door. He has an amazing ability to arrange his features so that he says "fuck off" without opening his mouth. I was in the kitchen and heard -

"Good afternoon Sir, I'm from X and we're in the area hoping that people will complete these surveys, however I can see from you're face taht you're not interested so I'll jsut leave"

DH then quietly closed the door withotu speaking he can be VERY rude

cdo, that you?

lol at your dh

fuck is not banned no, it wasn't that I didn't want to be abusive I just found myself thinking very snobby thoughts and thought better of repeating them.

I was surprised that he could read the newspaper though

He was probably looking at Page 3 Guad hence the distraction

Sorry about the facial . Similar thing happened to my Mum - she has a heart condition and a defibrillator fitted which somehow means she isn't allowed an Indian Head Massage or similar - for which her friend had bought her a voucher. It's horrible when reminders of your illness is thrown back at you unexpectedly isn't it?

lol guad

I had a thread about the mum at preschool who signs her name "jaccii"

someone said on here "what if she reads this"

"I'm not convinced she can read" said I

That's good if things are improving for Franny and L. Really hope they can get home soon.

TooT - Avi isn't likely to get online for a few days, do you want me to text her for you? (Will be doing anyway to give her Fra updates)

Guad sorry about your upsetting morning What a rude man! I find that so often people are rude by default and there is really no need for it

yes, I think that's it. I felt a bit humiliated
I suppose, it just seemed unfair. Then she was patting me on the shoulder saying, there there, and you know they will be telling the others about it later and I felt stupid.

Oh yes, when I got back to collect ds my face was all blotchy so I didn't even look nice

really, MamaG, Jaccii? That is hilarious

I remember the Jaccii thread

I tried to change my name to Jaccii but someone beat me to it

Then JackieNo changed to JacciiNo and that made me chortle

I do think we are perhaps overly cruel at times. On MN generally, I mean, there is never anything other than loveliness on the 10/10 thread and I find it a bit of a haven

TF

I'll keep my cruel side off 10/10

(but it was a funny thread )

I did craft stuff with some very unusually named children this weekend, was hard not to raise an eyebrow sometimes. The twins, Atlas and Manon!
