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, no, I really did laugh, and then I told him and he laughed and that made me laugh more and suddenly we were in hysterics. Maybe it was the cider.

UnderRated · 26/07/2008 19:09

lol

I imagine other people may not have laughed. I hope your scar has stopped hurting.

FrannyandZooey · 26/07/2008 19:21

LOL thank god for cider

off to my 2nd residence for the night with laid on hospitality
someone makes your bed and you get water in plastic jugs
oh yes

FrannyandZooey · 26/07/2008 19:22

oh I keep meaning to say
no food for parents in the children's ward - i mean you have to bring your own in
you can imagine how many meals I have been getting - with a newborn to look after who is not allowed in any other part of the hospital, and the canteen is on another floor

FrannyandZooey · 26/07/2008 19:24

LOL before this happened I was really nervous of being left on my own to look after ds2 for a bit
now have just about got the hang of it
doing all the night stuff on your own every night slightly wearing
I know some women do everything anyway? or some women I knew did
dp always helps me out if he is here

Really, Franny? That's appalling.

When DS was in, I was allowed to keep my room and they fed me because I was a 'nursing mother of a hospitalised newborn'. I suppose that is what you get with private healthcare (thank goodness for insurance) They did forget to bring me food most days, so I lived on cake from the bakery outside. Ex had to keep running out to get me something because I was so hungry all the time.

When the hospital sent my bill, it was $30,000

pointydog · 26/07/2008 19:26

I've missed this - why are you goin ginto hospital all teh time?

zippitippitoes · 26/07/2008 19:27

when do you stop going in to the hospital?

soon i hope

all the baking souinds wonderful

i am too lazy for that

i think i am getting my car back on monday...he siad they would wash it lol

for £3250 i should think so

UnderRated · 26/07/2008 19:31

Bloody hell, zippi. I'd expect a new car for that amount. Or at least old car working and very very clean. for you

Is your face ok now?

BBBee · 26/07/2008 20:02

zippi my car cost less than that.

mrsc the maypole story is rather wonderfully ironically hilarious.

oh look we need a thread title (no franny to prompt us)

zippitippitoes · 26/07/2008 21:35

my face is fine thank you

yes well my car is barely worth that either

so i would have scrapped it

but it didnt have that estimate to start with

another of my mistaken decisions having the new engine put in

anyway i am trying to think positively as my dd1 has told me that i wont make any progress otherwise

zippitippitoes · 26/07/2008 21:37

sorry that post sounds a bit grumpy not at asll as i intended sorry

but it is because my car cost so much i fpund out about this job

UnderRated · 26/07/2008 21:41

Thinking positive is important but not always easy to especially when it seems as if everything goes wrong.

Why are you all eating at PE these days? We don' have them here.

Shame about pub, FK. I have lots of memories of playing in pub gardens while my parents sat at a bench and drank. We'd always get Beef and Onion crisps or, as a special treat, scampi fries and a bottle of coke. Decidedly not 10/10.

BF pissing me off

BBBee · 26/07/2008 21:42

I am thinking something along the lines of "fuck the fruit we are delighted"

but lacks the usual wit.

zippitippitoes · 26/07/2008 21:43

bf pissing you off because he is late?

FrayedKnot · 26/07/2008 21:44

Where's Habbibu when you need her

UnderRated · 26/07/2008 21:45

DO you want to move to Surrey tho zip?

UnderRated · 26/07/2008 21:50

I like that Bee, but I suspect Franny would diaspprove of the 'fuck the fruit' bit

Not so much lateness because we never make plans to meet at a certain time, it is more like "I'm going to go and have a shower and set off, so see you soon. I'll call you when I'm on my way" That should take 90 mins max but it was 3 hrs ago and he still hasn't called to say he has set off. Which means he hasn't because he always calls. Which means we will miss the music in the park and I haven't done the things I was going to do because I thought he'd be here by now and didn't want to start something I couldn't finish. But I could have finished it by now. And I am annoyed and irritated.

UnderRated · 26/07/2008 21:53

Actually, I think I might just pack the picnic and set off at the time I need to whether he is here or not, so that I can do what I want. If he wants to come, he can find me. If not, he can bugger off home again. Is that really mean?
