Broccoli and kohlrabi, when they are both full grown.....10 / 10 thread

[FrannyandZooey]

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

hmm
agree soft blanket is nice to chew and suck, that could work?

i am in trouble
i have just discovered etsy
i may never come out

Woohoo! Postcards by Mou. I'll buy!

Well done on weight loss Franny. I am going to lose weight too. I want to lose 10lb but I think 5 is more realistic. Toot, eat cake!

My DS sucks his thumb but that's probably not what you want DD to do?

Fingers crossed, Guad. There was a girl in my music class this morning named Guadalupe. She sat in between Elsie and Dorothy. They are all under 3.

Just to brighten my day further, ds2 fell off the sofa and cracked his head open on the coal bucket and my mothership fell of the work surface and smashed the olive oil and plum chutney all over the floor as well as taking a whopping great chip off the blue enamel.

I am aware that ds's head is more important than my pot but still, you can't steri-strip a pot can you?

Hello everyone

I am seriously stuffed ater DH & DS' surprise supper, which was lovely. And three - no four, if you count mushrooms - different kind of veg. I must give DH a sticker

God I had forgotten about POD even though I know who Wildebeest is.

I posted on that thread fgs. Giving intimate details about something which happened to me in a similar vein

Guad the house stuff sounds enormously stressful - good luck with getting to exchange...

TooT DS has various pieces of a cut up nightie that I wore when he was tiny - kindof soft jersey material, that he takes to bed and occasionally still sucks.

Oh and Mou I would definitely be interested in postcards or ordinary cards for that matter

I put on 3lb this week DH said that's ok but I pointed out that it would be a bit of a coincidence for the baby to have a growth spurt the very same week I ate 3 bags of (Franny don't look) Haribo and far too many Mars bars. Can you boot camp me. Shout and take away my diet coke and things! I won't have any more Haribo either. I promise.

Mou I would buy post cards too.

Can someone e-mail me about wildebeest/pod. I'm confused and I might cry if I'm left out of an in-joke.

Broccoli soup, half an avocado, cuc/toms, apple juice. Oh dear. Bit lame.

I was obsessed with fruitellas when I was pregnant with ds1. I used to buy a multipack of five and unwrap the entire lot before rolling each into a ball before eating it. No wonder I put on four stone.

Guad. I thought you said rolling the whole lot into a ball then!!!

oh I'd buy postcards too. DS1 would adore the lizardy ones....

Ahem, spinach, carrot, mushrooms, beansprouts, peppers, pak choi, sugarsnaps; clementines, mixed veg soup.

PINK NO MORE DIET COKE OR WE WON#T TELL YOU WHAT POD IS

apple pineapple 2 satsumas raisins
small salad of tomato, lettuce, cucumber, red pepper, beetroot, avocado and chickpeas
and a whopping jacket potato smothered in ch**se

guad at the mothership injury
I feel your pain

Oh TooT I am being chewed atm too... I swing from trying to grin and bear it to getting very irritable. First thing in the morning is the worst. He is there, chewing before I wake up and doesn't want to let go. Not a brilliant start to the day

Franny Etsy is great isn't it!

Guad, hope ds2 is ok and sending you good vibes for the house. It is so stressful isn't it

Smiles, just found your link, your work is very impressive. I love the colours

Tatties, I have taken to sleeping with my arms wrapped defensively around my chest.

Guad, my god, is he okay? Was there lots of blood?

Thumb sucking would be fine. Anything non-toxic in fact. ANYTHING!!!!!!

Not sure which is more preferable, being woken up by chewing or by having small metal cars dropped on your head

What's Etsy?

FK!! FK!!! Oh god, it is FK's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY FK !

Oh there you are

Etsy is a website where crafty people can sell their crafty things.

a cake for you

Have you fallen asleep?

Thank you! TooT I can;t see the cake

Yes, day has been good, even work was good, as I mostly ate cake, and faffed about

You can't see the cake? It works for me.

Oh! FK! Happy Birthday! [not with it]
