Ding Dong Broccoli on High - 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 yes i have heard of them! looks lovely, much better than mine

are you ing at plates bunny? sorry
in my defence the children are quite little
china plates not the greatest idea

Presma

I think an hour there and back for a half hour class might not be financially viable.

Not at your prices anyway. ROFL.

Sorry, I will behave now.

I would much rather come to your class than the presma one, really I would. They are actually very expensive and quite structured. There aren't many relaxed ones about.

I was joking, Franny. You're allowed paper plates at a party

oi oi! my classes are an hour long and until recently i only charged three quid!

mine is VERY relaxed

That's a bargain. Our music classes are supposed to be almost $20 for 45 mins. DS has a 'scholarship' thankfully

I used to pay £3.50 for a 40 min class which half the time only lasted about 30 mins and once (or twice ) only 20 mins. So we stopped going. Now I want to take dd to football but is £4 for 45 mins and just makes me so she's ONLY 2 fgs!! They're only running around.

This thread is brilliant. I just opened it to the message 'Rape away' and again I quote "I do love that cunt is fine on this thread, but cheese is censored"!

"I do love that cunt is fine on this thread, but cheese is censored"

Who said that? Brilliant!

We're going to a party on Friday with soft play, tea/coffee/juice, biscuits, (possibly other food), a present from Santa and music, running around and general mayhem all for £2.75

SB do you always convert in your head (like '$20 that's £x' ) or do you think in dollars now?

ah

well the BABY class is only 50 mins and i do usually let people mill about and make tea for roughly the first 10 mins
and that one has always been £3.50
BUT you do get duchy originals biscuits and a cup of tea

and a party bag

Mangolassi said it on the last thread! I love it!

I've just had a 43 point go on Scrabble. Aside from that I'm getting my arse totally whooped in 4 games Can anyone stupid or without a good grasp of English as thier first language come and play with me?

for the most part, I think in $ now. I still convert temperatures though.

I fit that description PSW, but I can't play your version.

Mmmm Duchy Originals

Where is Mangolassi?

Hi, mangolassi pops up on her meditation thread and I think is 'busy'.

Hello all. lovely reading your banter again---warm

helloooo

DH out again. Hopefully not getting quite as drunk as last Friday

My lovely sister came to see us today, haven;t seen her for 9 months as she has been round the world

She brought fresh baked bread as since getting back from travelling she has a massive domestic urge

I am hoping she may come back soon to do some cleaning or something

How lovely, FK. She can visit me, if she likes

right

f+v:
melon
grapes
raisins
banana
asparagus
artichoke hearts
cuc, lettuce
red cabbage
sweetcorn

if i don't see you tomorrow till late it is because i am sitting rattling my pot of £ coins
btw forgot to say am paying another mum to help me at the party! as will have both dses etc and won't be able to do all cleaning up
i am really not going to make money on this, i promise [dog with bone emoticon]

SB, I have made vegan stollen before. I think I found the recipe by googling "vegan stollen". It was delicious anyway. I intend to make some this year.

Franny dear, don't chew bones in the yurt, it makes for such revolting dribble. Have some tofu jerky instead.

There is something rather unpleasant happening between two of my toes. It is itchy and it smells
I am Not Thinking About It for tonight.

Oh Franny, I think £1 is a total bargain. A friend and I are organising Christmas party for other friends, and just to cover collective costs it's going to be about £3 - £4

(that will provide:
Mulled wine for parets
Food (mince piese for parents and bits for children and drinks)
tea, coffee, milk etc
Games
Present from Santa
paper plates and napkins

and NO PARTY BAG

If the cost is room hire and clearing up etc that's fine imo

TooT had a message from homoepath, she's sending dose tonight, no further consult etc

Purse

Hello all other veggers

TNM I think you need to concentrate on your own DH, if you have decided you want it to go back to brilliant, that's a brave decision - good for you and good luck

Blueberries
Acai berries [smug emoticon]
carrot
leek
lettuce
peas
OJ

Rats, I thought it was more. I always think its more

Vegan Stollen good idea. I need to take something to a pary of Sunday and I suspect there will be several vegans there

Enjoy the party, Franny.

I have made mince pies and Lebkuchen

to a parTy not a pary. And it's on Saturday not Sunday.

sounds a good idea SB - how "sheepy" were the mince pies
