Night Of The Living Veg. . . .(10/10 club star in 3D Terror Vision. All welcome)

[fullmOOOOOWHOOOOOnfiend]

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 OH OH MamaG!!!

I am here! I am here!

that is so exciting!!!!
drink some more Diet Coke QUICK!!!

MOU!!! did I miss something!
what man
when
don't go
you can't leave and can't work til 3

WHAT....

(and I don't even LIKE diet coke)

hang on

unless you were one of our unhappy F&V friends posting under unhappy other names re sad DP stories last week....

car broken into, stereo stolen, door broken and won't lock, coincidentally won't start either. DH not talking to me. Can't get to uni.

banana
cherry toms
lettuce
satsuma

Go MamaG!

oh dear OB - how annoyingly irritating. I hope it is easily sortable.

OsBa how fucking annoying .

Right! Right! I'm back!. Scrub up everyone! Hot towels and water and scissors! Breathe MamaG, BREATHE!

mou - I spotted your confesssion but was in another name (for a delictae matter) and couldn't post right away. Is it just a crush, or is it impacting on your real relationship? People are allowed to have crushes you know. DH suffers a million crushes a month from me - though, to be fair, they tend to be people off a the tellybox. Like Ray Mears. Johnny Depp. That young west country comedian from Mock The Week....
Mind you, having signed off MN last night to spend some time with DH, he reciprocated by watching Match of The Day or something at 10pm So I huffed off to bed with a book.

Right, ou want a new Autumnal title, you blardy well think of one. I am punned out.

OB at thieving wnakcers.

Toot - how is Teething Tormented SmallTooT? (though he is taller than you )

It's nearly 3pm so Mou should be back soon.... am worried I have been crass

crushes, well, we need more info clearly!

Baby Toot and Teeth - how is it going?

FMV how about "remember remember the 5th of Cucumber" or is that TOO feeble? and not long lasting enough?

Osba - sorry re car, why is DH cross with YOU??? was it your crowbar?? sympathetic humph

MOO MOO MOO for MamaG

or are whale noises more her thing

Seasons of mist and mango fruitiness?

or has that been done?

osba - fucking bastards

EVERYTHING has stopped for me. False alarm I think

His reasons for crossness are manifold.

He always tells me not to leave the stereo in there - cost £200

The bloke he was meant to be working with didn't turn up so he can't work today - cost £100

Car door fixed - £40

Unused childcare fees - £35

general fixing car costs - who knows

Not many of these things are my fault per se, but I am the source of many of the expenses.

And he didn't talk to me yesterday cos I got v drunk at Samhain thingy and was no good to man nor beast. How he thinks I could have helped with all the electrickery things he was doing is beyond me. A useful target though....

It is freezing here. And still no kitchen for nourishing items.

Feel embarrassed at my outburst now....
Yes, I am one of the earlier posters DD and no, you are not crass. I call him my diet coke break to make it more bearable, it is my way of dealing with life. Always held him in the highest regard but I think my H's appalling treatment of me over last 2 yrs impacted on my feelings for him. Long story, not got the heart to tell it in full but I take it each day as it comes.
I am sorry if I disrespected the nature of this thread, I let it all build up inside and need to let go some times and it feels so comfortable and friendly on this thread.

I refuse to feel sorry for myself hence the bloody running!

Sorry to all, please don't be mad at me.

So sorry for your bad luck Osba.

Oh Mou... What a shitter.

Oh God dd's teacher has just called me, dd in floods of tears because she doesn't want to go to the childminder after school Fuckety fuck.

Mou don't be embarrassed lovely, here have some yurtiness. ((()))

MamaG even if nothing is happening now, you are ripening and effacing and so forth, so it isn't wasted effort.

OsBa men are buggers for projecting aren't they?

in fairness, I can see DH's point. However, even I don't sulk for this long.

You back on the poot then TF?

I think I would prob have the opposite problem with DD, I would have to call the CM to say she didn't want to be at home with me!!

Mou- don't be silly, I am sorry sorry sorry
heartache is always bad (((hugs)))
come and snuggle in the yurty loveliness that we all hold so dear

MamaG - it will happen hang on in there! at least your mum didn't miss mammogram - and the postman got off scott free

Osba - that is pants, isn't it

TF - also pants, not sure what to say - anywhere else your DD can go this arvo?

sending fruity vibes

Am back in the office so pooting from work [slap] - no pooter at home. DH needs to ring the insurance as it's in his name and he hasn't done it yet [fume][twitch]

DD has to go to CM's, I have to be at work (even though I can MN between tasks I need to be here doing stuff) and dh can't get away, no one else near enough that doesn't work. Also I'm kind of afraid that if I give in once... god I don't know, even though it's jsut been half term she is knackered and clingy, she isn't happy atm unless she's physically touching me and tbh it's getting a bit wearing. Poor dd, she's still very little (4.4) and school/CM combo still so new. Arrrggghhhhhhhhhh. Will ring CM shortly for an update.

Oh, I know it's so hard TF. I work full time and have done since DS 6 months. Some days he just hangs on and hangs on and hangs on

I just try to think one day he will be a big strapping teen and run away when I try to cuddle him not easy I know

some days when I come home DS both rushes at me to join in and gets really cross and pushes me away - I can feel his little body surging with conflicting feelings...

oh, I must stop, this won't make you feel better. You are not doing anything wrong, DD is probably just tired and may well have cried at end of school in any event....

I worked full time too daisy until very recently - nursery was easy though, chuck her in through the door in the morning and pick her up in the evening fed, watered and adequately rested. I was told (by MN!) that school would be different, but it has hit her much harder than I was expecting. The CM is a good 20 min + walk from school which I htink is the problem - usually she'll walk for miles but at the end of a school day I think it's the last thing she wants to do.

Poor sausage
I have a feeling that school is much harder than baby ness - I mean I remember feeling knackered after school and just wanting to flop on sofa, eat toast and be grumpy

not sure I can say much to help, others will be wiser, but I can send a few fruity vibes

Just spoken to CM - dd is now playing happily

I have cried in the bogs over this

Apparently the teacher said "Oh the mummies are coming soon" and dd thought that meant I would be picking her up.

"just wanting to flop on sofa, eat toast and be grumpy " - sounds like me after work most days

Poor dd TF She'll probably be fine when you arrive to collect her and won't remember all the fuss!

I had a bad tooth thing once TooT (think a filling had come out and exposed the nerve) I was about 16 and I remember having an awful headache with it. Felt like the whole side of my head was going to explode. Hope the Dental Surgeon gets back to you quickly and you can get DS sorted out.

Mou, I thought your diet coke break crush sounded wonderfully exciting! I'm just sad to hear that you're one of the sad people. Always come here and offload in any way you need to and we'll be here to give you yurty, veggy hugs (((mou)))

OsBa bummer about the car hope DH stops taking it out on you soon.

I've been to a third birthday party and I'm exhausted! Need to cook dinner now. Think we're having the roast chicken I couldn't be bothered to do yesterday!

Don't suppose anyone is interested in the new F1 World Champion?
