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

Hello Pink
I'm still here, just.

OsmosisBanana · 07/08/2008 20:55

Ha! I'd thought the v same thing re 'I ma' PSW. Higher beings you and I.

TooT. I've missed you. Strange but true.

Have decided on sausage dress for fancy wedding. Have also decided I have a degree of body dysmorph wotsit. Tis the turquoise chinesey one on profile. I am larger now than in the photo BUT it still fits. So.

For hippy wedding I have found rather large beautiful gauzey butterfly with sequins and stuff which I am going to sew onto a hairband as can't afford hat / shoes / new bra / clothes etc. butterfly only £4.50.

And I shall wear wellies. Bang 'on trend' I are.

Maybe nothing else, just the butterfly and wellies.

TooTicky · 07/08/2008 20:58

Why strange? [potentially offended]

And a dress made out of sausages????

pinkspottywellies · 07/08/2008 20:58

Can't see your profile OsBa. It's not still on your old name is it?

OsmosisBanana · 07/08/2008 21:12

ah. I've spent wellies wrong on my friend list. [Numpty] will rectify (laughs at rectify in beavis and butthead manner)

OsmosisBanana · 07/08/2008 21:13

no I haven't. Weird. Shall I make MollyRoger a friend too?

OsmosisBanana · 07/08/2008 21:15

sausage dress - I said I looked like a badly packed sausage in it. It isn't made of sausages. That would be smelly. Not to mention potentially revealing.

pinkspottywellies · 07/08/2008 21:35

You're not there!! It's not that I'm not on your friends list cos you have to have a public profile for that don't you? It just says you don't have a profile.

OsmosisBanana · 07/08/2008 21:41

right. try now. It's not exciting. That balcony is where the 1st episode of series 2 of Skins was shot. Cool or wot?!?!?!?!!? Feeling slightly over hyped now.

Am wearing beautiful friends' beautiful dress suitable for hippy affair and might never take it off. I look like I should be wearing a knotted hanky round my hair declaring words of support for the war effort. But beautifully.

Think I know who Fabio is. Rubs self with glee. Not in a hand rubbing way you understand.

OsmosisBanana · 07/08/2008 21:41

So is the blurt blurted?

pinkspottywellies · 07/08/2008 21:58

The blue dress? It's lovely!

What's the blurt blurted?

OsmosisBanana · 07/08/2008 22:01

It is a lovely dress, bit snug ATM.

There was talk of blurting a few weeks ago, I have read little of the thread of late and was wondering if the blurt was out there... And if I was right...

You should see the new lovely dress I am wearing now. Not mine sadly. Bought in Cannes with BF when seriously up the duffage. Made me mad at the time but I consoled myself with the knowledge I would one day borrow it.

pinkspottywellies · 07/08/2008 22:03

Yes it's all out now and you were almost right. I am the CEO of Nestle

OsmosisBanana · 07/08/2008 22:16

Yay! I mean Boooooooo!

which dress are you wearing OB? Are you the beautiful blonde with black and white dress or the incredibly skinny leggy woman in the red flowery? Either way, I'd be happy to look like either of you!!

at hippy wedding. We don't get invited to any weddings these days. All our friends are divorcing

TigerFeet · 08/08/2008 08:43

Hello all

My friend (BabiesEverywhere) is in labour and I am pacing, pacing, pacing - she had an awful time with her first and she really needs things to go well this time. I am twitching to ring and see how she is doing but of course that would be a crass and unwanted intrusion so can I please just fret here?

TigerFeet · 08/08/2008 08:45

I am going to a wedding in a couple of weeks - a colleague of dh's - one of those £20K+ productions that is (imo) completely unneccessary. The couple have been together a long time and clearly the relationship is sound so why spend such vast sums? My wedding was uber-cheap in comparison

TigerFeet · 08/08/2008 08:47

DH's colleague - the bride - is on the verge of collapsing with stress. Seriously. THere have been arguments over the colour of the tablecloths ffs .

[witters]

filthymindedvixen · 08/08/2008 10:25

my wedding cost £3k. Including dress, flowers, venue, food, bands, everything. Probably the honeymoon too. A friend did flowers for cost. Another friend professionally iced home-made cake as gift. One of the bands played for a collection of beer money (and probably made more than if they had charged )Another friend designed and made dress for cost. . I made the invites etc.

(Twas all sooo long ago )

Guadalupe · 08/08/2008 10:30

Mine was around that too, FMV, lots of friends helped out with things.

I am packing madly for Cornwall. We chose a place right by the sea but when dh looked at it on the google earth he couldn't see the sand. I said maybe the tide was in but no, of course the pipctures were a bit deceptive and the sandy beach is a couple of miles away. not the sea that you can see from the kitchen window. Hmmm. Never mind.

Then we are on to a farm and then home briefly before Solfest. DH thought we may as well go straight up there but I don't particularly fancy hanging around in the midlands for a few days. I'd rather come home and do the washing and swap the car for the van and so on.

It all seems a bit tiring at the moment and the weather forecast is dreadful but it should be fun!

filthymindedvixen · 08/08/2008 10:33

OMG! Are you really properly going to Solfest? I thought you were kidding!
I am dithering between trying to get in Very Quiet field or family field....

Please email me and let's swap mobile Nos. beforehand, please!!

Guadalupe · 08/08/2008 10:53

yes, we are. I thought you were quiet about it because you didn't particularly want to see mnetters there. Well, I wasn't sure!

I don't know about the family or quiet field either, the family one is still likely to be a bit noisy isn't it? I don't mind some noise. It is a really LONG WAY for us though. I'm nervous about the van.

I think I have your e-mail still.

filthymindedvixen · 08/08/2008 11:10

I don't mind seeing Mumsnetters as long as they promise not to mention on here:

how much I drink/smoke/eat cake at festivals

how rancid I look with no shower for 4 days and muddy feet....(Sugarfree has photos dammit, from Beautiful Days)

how all my stories of how fabulous my boys are are complete fiction...()

how gormless I look when I am dancing to Dreadzone...

littlerach · 08/08/2008 11:16
