Franny Had A Little Yam - 10/10 thingummies :o)

[TooTicky]

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.

He's only been alive for a couple of weeks. Surely anything he does is neither ordinary or out of it yet? Nice that he did sleeping in the sling though

Do I use too many smilies I don't like to taken the wrong way. Not that probably help

I missed the pink wind-up thread. Can someone link for me please?

Fakers

Oh my word. Trolling on the vegger thread

Hello fishie

i am a fish of ancient provenance. i have met nqc (she has forgotten though). have also appeared on earlier f&v and was a contender in the sweet potato v yam war.

do you think that it is necessary to have a profile to get round this sort of thing?

I had a profile when I first joined mnet but I sounded like a complete wanker so I deleted it.

I have done exercise, in the form of swimming .

And I have eaten greengages, many of them. And salad, a lot of. Today has been a good vegger day.

Tomorrow we're going crabbing and staying with friend.

I hadn't realised pigeon bingo was on hte home page. We really do play that - clapping like crazed sea lions just to get through a weekend with fil and his pigeon based anecdotes. I always win, dp is too sheepish with his claps and is disqualified.

I am suspect about boco's "swimming". This is why:

• did she go with children? If so does not count - it is merely standing in water.

• she has nevermentioned swimming before

• she has the kind of nice hair that people who swim don't

• she has never mentioned swimming on here before - infact I hazard a guess she can't swim.

she will be claiming that 'crabbing' is exercise next.

we are going to a BBQ today - a veggie one so that will be good as I will get more than a roll and some coleslaw.

Have fun all - esp. carrot. Go alone, drink wine, dance and do laughing and hair flicking.

Actually Miss Bee, I go swimming every single Friday. DD2 has lessons, and while she's having her lesson, I do lengths, but now that it's holidays I take dd1 and teach her to swim while dd has her lesson. Yesterday she learned backstroke.

And I have mentioned it many many times, but you don't actually concentrate, like when I go away and I go on and on and on about where I'm going, and then you come here and say 'where the fuck is boco?' and email me saying 'where the fuck are you?' Like one of those people who only have short term memory.

I wear a delightful swimming hat with rubber flowers on the top to protect my beautiful hair and I can once swam in the olympics.

Ok the last bit was a lie. My hair is rather dry and I'm not brilliant at swimming.

I was about to agree about Boco's hair being too beautiful for swimming then I realised. She's a mermaid and when she swims her hair stays golden and beautiful and swishy and not ratty and birds-nesty like mine

Must go. Stripping wallpaper and arguing with DH about housework

Oh I like that Pink. I do have slightly scaly skin on my shins actually. But the fact I have shins at all makes a nonsense of the whole thing.

oh you see youwere all angry and then you said about a wonderful 50's swimming hat and I got all excited but it was a lie.

Pink - you have to sit and rest whilst he does EVERYTHING.

I had a woman knock on my door yesterday and use my toilet because she had morning sickness. She is same preganant as you pink so I was extra nice to her and even drove her home in some pathetic Kalmer thing that means that, um, someone might be nice to you? or something - it kind of falls apart now.

The house was a mess and not really in the mood for impromptu visitors (normally it behaves like a palace see.)

ds1 just said, 'what time is that wedding of yours then?' I think they are a bit miffed that they are not coming. I don't feel guilty. This is the first morning that it has not been blue skies though, hopefully the bride is too busy to notice.

Boco is a mermaid really. There is sometimes a flash of blue around the shin as she walks and it is the reason for any skin or respiratory problems I am sure. I mean, you'd get a bit gaspy and damp on the dermis if you lived underwater wouldn't you, stands to reason really. There is yur problem, Boco. Just add water.

I must not be on here talking shit about merpeople. I must find my turquoise flower heels and paint my toenails and do my hair and go and buy cheap plastic containers for the salad because I am damned well not taking it in the mothership.

Good day.

oh yes - carrot - go and find your beautiful shoes and paint your nails whilst humming and daydreaming.

(salad blah blah - just pack it up and think no more of it)

Go with our blessing my sweet.

Fly my pretty (carrot) fly!!!!!!

Bee has just made me put coffee up my nose. You did. It was the 'I would hazard she can't swim at all' bit that did it.

is v. cloudy here, and rainy. We have no plans. I'd better think of some.

Dh v. pleased as he had a tennis lesson this morning. This seems to have been sneaked in on the quiet. He says the 'professional' (this is what he called him) was 'impressed'. lol. I do love dh.

I reckon it was all an elaborate lie, and he just went out to Starbucks or something, and then came back telling us all about how this 'professional' has rarely seen a better backhand.

Morning.

Have a lovely time, MrsC. I know it is also work-y but I am of you having somewhere to go that involves flower heels and painted toenails and done hair.

We are not going to see a ground-floor flat with a garden in the area I aspire to. dh thinks it's not perfect/special enough to consider moving to when we might have to leave Berlin in two years anyway. He is sort of right - the garden is shared and next door's patio is very close, from what I could see in the pics, with no fence and the kitchen is small and I want to move to a big kitchen. But I am still feeling wistful. I will not go, though. dh has taken ds1 out and I am not turning up to a mass viewing on my own with ds2, surrounded by families looking askance and thinking 'her dh couldn't be bothered to come with her'.

tell me it looks crap

oh 100 I love your dp too. sometimes i think i love him more than you - have you told him about this?

ds2 has been practising smiling (you see - G+T) but only at dp
the ingrate
who has given him 2 double chins full of milk? not dp that is for sure

we are going out for lunch
I can wear
nice tight lowish top with bfing cleavage but also shows very round belly
or kaftan thing - no redeeming features - looks like sack - but does not show belly

votes please

Tight top. belly at 2 weeks post-partum nothing to be ashamed of.

i know but knowing it is 2 wks pp doesn't make it look any better
perhaps wear badge - "only recently not up the duff"?

strawberries, grapes, pear, pineapple, raisins

at badge.

I generally tend towards belly. People asked me if I was pg again over a year after ds1. One very unfortaunte colleague managed to ask me just after I'd had 2 mcs in 2 cycles.

apple, pear, plum. ds2 is asleep so now having early lunch of veg lasagne and salad (carrot, lettuce, chickpeas).

I bet you would look very nice in kaftan too though, if you mind belly a lot.

ds2 just dropped a brick with a bell in on my foot. It made a lovely sound as it chipped all the polish off, how annoying is that.

Franny - tight top, definitely. Shape is always better even with round parts. I wonder about putting a sign up too sometimes, 'round but only 13 weeks post op, am sure it will go down in the next few months' kind of thing.

ah sod it
dp says wear tight one
wish I had flower heels
would fall over though
