Fruity is in the pie of the beholder - 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

lol

My mum does that, talking in a posh voice very loudly when she is on the phone - I suspect because she is talking to someone far away I suppose and one must enunciate clearly (for reference my Mum is a scouser). My Mum's telephone manner is now entering family folklore.

oh my Aunt does the posh voice thing, whenever she's with strangers.

Its incredibly cringy.

She did it one time and DH looked at me and said loudly "where's that voice coming from"! I blushed and hissed "its Auntie June you fool"
