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 gosh FMF, that didn't come out at all like I thought it would. I am quite sure you have thought of all of those things.

FWIW, ime boys at that age tend to have more difficulty coping with things than girls do. In my Y 5 classes, I had a boy who tried to strangle himself repeatedly, one who banged his head on the table whenever he got stressed, several who would hurt themselves (and a girl who called me a bitch and threw her shoes at me before running out of the building because I said it was almost time for PE). And this was a mainstream school in your neck of the woods. From there, I moved to a school for suicidal/ homicidal children.

Should add, I was the teacher of those children, not one of them!

Oh, the lizards. The lizards!

Lol at loo roll SB!

Franny....no3 I love the gentle incline of DS1's head.

fmv, i am going to e-mail as things might get a bit long, but you have my sympathies.

Does anyone want any jobs done...my insomnia is at record levels.

I thought you'd like to know!

My apartment is a total shit tip if you want to come and help! I was going to sort it out but I have been sitting on my arse all night. I will tackle it in the morning.

I keep writing posts that address other peoples, and losing them.

Thanks to all for comments about my site and paintings.

I am going back to bed !!??

.. I have the house to myself on a saturday morning!!!!!

DD going to cinema with friends and H and DS are going to MIL's for the day. I need to be here for DD's return.

What shall I do?
I know what I should do.
Not doing it though.

Might play loud music and go and tidy the 'studio', drink lots of Lattes. Contented sigh.

Oh good, it's sunny again. But cold.

It's so lonely in here when there's noone around

I hope you're all out doing nice things
