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

oh, that sounds wrong, I mean steely in a good way - you cope with all your family and your pain and your insomnia and your work and still get on and up and do your website etc etc - I am slightly in awe of your achievement rate...

Me, I am wondering if I will manage to write any christmas cards this year

yes christmas cards
i don't appear to be doing them
happy christmas one and all
xx

Thank-you Daisy and I do know what you mean, but I also accept that it is my outlook on life that gets me through, that and diet coke breaks the support of some brilliant friends and family.

Have opened A 'fairy garden' on face book!! in honour of franny....if you are on Franny, do come and take a look. (I'm 39, so this is not going to be something I admit to in RL ). I still haven't worked out who is who yet apart from a couple. So I am not completely sure who I am playing scrabble with!

Boco, I really don't think you should feel guilty at all. Give yourself a break.....xx

Daisy, I hope all is well with you and yours...

Why have you opened a fairy garden garden in honour of Franny. What does that involve then?

LOLOL at fairy garden in my honour
well i have no answer to that
(sorry i am not on FB)

..xx

Guad is scoffing isn't she
she is jealous because no-one has ever opened a fairy garden in her honour

is it like a lady garden, but with wings......

No, no, I have a fairy garden in my garden. DD made it for me.

I'm not saying you don't deserve one, I was just wondering if I was missing something. I didn't think you were on FB.

A flying fanny, ha ha ha.

((Not sniggering at you Smiles, but you need to knpow that for all my glowy veggerness, I have a very juvenile sense of humour ))

Guad...Franny and I seem to have slightly different outlooks on things which is cool, but funny. I discovered fairy gardens on FB lastnight and you grow plants and exist in a slightly bizarre 'other dimension' place (Now I am really ing.) It has fairy characters and plants to grow, fairy dust, you can visit other fairies gardens and is probably a bit 'dippy'..
It is amazing what you find yourself doing at 2.30 in the morning.
Rofling at explaining this.

I'll get my coat again.

LOLOLOLOLOL........

oh Mou, I am just aghast (in a good way) at the fairy garden on Facebook, especially as i can see FMV prancing through with her ladygarden and a long HOOOOWWWLLL at the moon!!!

One of my customers calls me her 'fairy' and I am not going to be able to look her in the eye now!!!

I shall have to cast a spell on fmv...!

I might have to have some naughty goblons and elves in mine.

Mou, you're in the roundup! BTW, I still have the same toilet roll I put on last Friday, so that's 1 week for two of us and DS uses quite a lot.

Veggie vibes to everyone.

I'm taking DS to playgroup and have decided that I will take my book and sit in the bakery and drink tea rather than run around like a blue-arsed fly trying to do the shopping.

Oooh...curious, I don't get the round up, if I 'subscribe' now will I get the one I am on? Can I get Mumsnet Towers to send me one if I ask nicely and have missed it?

Lol at Toilet roll...I am deliberately not counting.

Here:

SmilesLikeNoOther was fretting about how much toilet roll her family uses: "I reduce, reuse, recycle, don't drive, use charity shops, never throw food away, you name it I try to do it...with a family of four, a roll a day is not extravagant is it?" But Lowenergylightbulb thought the OP wasn't trying hard enough: "We use one loo roll a year and bulk it out by wiping our arses with stinging nettles." Wallace always enjoys the description of Tesco Value loo roll on her online shop: 'Tesco Value Toilet Tissue 12 Roll 2400 Sht', noting: "It's good, but not that good!" But serious eco-evangelist terramum brought us back to earth with a bump, with talk of 'the family cloth': "What I would say though, is not to go straight into doing family cloth for both number ones and number twos. Try it for just number ones for a while."

Oh joy, of all my pearls of wisdom....!!!!!! lol.

I am now worried, must rush home and count loo roll use

SB, yeah to tea and book!!

Oh, mou, you're famous

I owuldn't dare ,easure our usage, as dh works from home now

Fran, I sympathsie re dh(p)s.
DH doesn't drink a huge amount, but every year that he goes on his work night out he has to overindulge and vomit. And then one of his friends has ot get him home, amd last year it was his friends' parents who are rather elderly and had kindly offered ot give them alift home (30 mile trip). They had to stop for dh to vomit.
Rest of the year he is fine. .
Male egos etc.

Hello.

Apple, avocado, cuc, tomato, dried apricot.

Tired and lazy.

Hope you're all ok.

hello pink and LR!

The last time I went to a works do with dh I removed the arm of a female colleague from round his neck at the bar and asked him if he was planning to return to our table as I could no longer listen to the jibberings of his arse-achingly dull project manager.

I left halfway through in the end. I didn't bother telling dh, he was so utterly plastered and roaring at the misogynist xenophobic 'comedy' act so I crept out.

A rumour went round the office next day that I'd beaten up Sally from accounts.

I drew a little toilet roll on my calendar so that I could remember when I changed it

Hope DP is ok tonight, Franny. And you, too.
