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

I hasve just guzzled a plate of trout and salad in a way that would not do in polite company.

TooTicky · 26/08/2008 14:47

Well, I dunno if they should be buggering off just yet!

pinkspottywellies · 26/08/2008 15:51

Hello! How are you? Kids club sounds brilliant

I picked a tub of blackberries again today. Only have minor injuries on my hands. Managed to pull thorns out of my jeans before they did any damage

pinkspottywellies · 26/08/2008 15:59

I really have to go and clean the kitchen and make some dinner. Please send me away if I'm on here in the next half hour.

I still have sloe gin I made a couple of years ago. I wonder if it will still be nice?

I am trying not to drink after days of ridiculous drink mixing but I will fancy wine with my tea of cheese I know it.

Guadalupe · 26/08/2008 16:19

Scarper! it's the rozzers!

filthymindedvixen · 26/08/2008 17:55

ds2 has just exclaimed 'Omg! These are amazing' to my raw home grown peas...

Will be eating homegrown baking spuds, with chicken in a creamy ham and mushroom sauce and home grown salad with leaves, grated carrota, spring onions, raw peas, celery and sweetcorn.

Did I mention was all home grown...?

Followed by rasp and blackberries.

And I am trying to pickle shallots but there are so many of them!

TooTicky · 26/08/2008 18:08

Fmv, if I didn't like you so much, I would call you a SMUG GIT

Raisins, goji berries, 2 pears, apple, tomato, cucumber.
Also have flan in the oven full of potatoes, leeks, courgettes and topped with many tiny HOMEGROWN tomatoes. Will have with carrot and apple salad, so an easy (and rare!) ten

TooTicky · 26/08/2008 18:08
