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

so how was it?

I found a lovely coat and it is made by

GOAT

I bloody hate this time of year. Everyone is ill. And ds's birthday is on tues and his birthday treat is on sat and he is ill and I am ill and we will all be ill for xmas again. And that will mean a crap birthday and xmas....

a goat coat? wtf is this goat obsession
you are all worse than MrsC, she has a terrible thing for goats

no you will be fine FMF
YOU WILL BE FINE
repeat after me
"I AM GETTING BETTER. i WILL NOT BE ILL FOR CHRISTMAS"

there

i could charge people - oooh - a pound for that, couldn't I

i am feeling better already Franny!

FMV - be strong! It will be GOOD! I do wonder though at spending so long getting ready for oooh, about 48 hours of chaos!

Oh no Mango, sorry about food poisoining. DS seems to have a bug which involved diarrhea in the night. Co-sleeping was less lovely than usual.

Well done on cold turkey red bull. LOVE the dress.

LOL @ GOAT coat. You must buy it!

How was the party Franny?

Sorry for shitty day, OB. LOL @ FMV & the vile slatterns. I think I may be a VS.

I want edible glitter!

Peas
Beans & Broccoli
Tomatoey sauce
Banana
Grapes

I feel a bit crappy and DS is not on top form so I plonked him in front of the telly and Barney's on and now I feel even more crap cos it's total, well, crap and I want to punch the bloody dinosaur.

At my meeting last night, everyone had a snotty cold and chesty cough

WE had a party for preschool today - it was free and they got crap food and a visit and present from FC and it was at the soft play hell nearby. I was knackered.

Then we went out for lunch which was nice - ish.

Oneof my eyelashes is poking my eyeball
It is most odd.

Ouch. Can you pull it out, LR? I sat opposite someone in English who pulled out her eyelashes every lesson.

thank god today nearly over
am REALLY tired
right next challenge
tomorrow am taking boys to see this
tube a go go
don't know that part of town - could be fun finding it
i think can do jubilee line which is excellent for stair free access

Come on then Franster. What's the lowdown on the party.

We have had a totally Dry Day 7 wees in the potty, 1 poo on the toilet, no extra washing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow we are leaving the house - dd has only been out twice since Saturday! - so that's the next challenge. But I'm soooooooo proud of her.

Guad gave me a beautiful bar of chocolate with pink glitter and things on! I wonder if you could just mix food colouring into sugar? You'd have to make it cold perhaps and do a tiny bit at a time to stop it dissolving.

Sorry everyone's ill. DH has been poorly today lost his voice and everything. My throats starting to hurt so we'll see if I'm ill enough to stay in bed til lunchtime tomorrow

We've had our picky 'deli' tea again so a few crudites, chutney (yes it counts!), pickled onions etc etc oh and an apple earlier. Hmm. I ought to at least have some juice and dried apricots tonight.

Good idea to have a lesson Guad - is the intention confidence building and reminding? Glad it went well.

Right I need to play my goes on Scrabble and then get wrapping.

That looks marvellous Fran. Good luck with the tube.

oh i think it was ok [flat apres party emoticon]
the people are all v nice and the mess was not too hideous, but it still took me and assistant ruddy ages
ds2 was a bit grumbly so i carried him most of the day which is tiring in itself
and i am daft with lack of sleep - forgot words of the songs etc! i hope people enjoyed themselves - i did games and some litte treats as prizes
there seemed loads of food
quite a nice calmish party i think

are you running out of fish pink?

We start the fish again every day. She got 10 today - 1 extra for a poo and for going to the potty herself! I told my mum that you all covet the fish! She said it was all cheap stuff - £1 shop type bargains!

Party sounds nice. Now go to bed instead of chatting to us lot!

yes i can't yet
dp has gone out late night shopping
ds2 attached to me
ds1 having a good month i think, not so anxious about things

i can't wait for the string show! want to take ds1 to see selfridges afterwards and buy a cake from patisserie - he has never been

Party sounds v good.

Pink, you must be a super potty trainer

I have friend coming for brunch tomorrow and I can't be arsed to make food but I said I would and she always does stacks of delicious things.

Thanks SB but I think she's just a super girl (or sooper dooper as she copied iff me last week!) She's tried so hard. I love her DH has been super too. I would've given up on days 1, 2 and 3!! Can you buy lovely food for your friend coming? Or is that cheating?!

Fran that sounds like a lovely day out!

oh everyone i know seems to have been to london recently. I'd love to take the boys this tie of year. Maybe If I start saving now....oooh! Let's plan a Great Meet-up for next November!

That show looks great fun Franny!

I would buy lovely food but can't leave the house with DS & his stomach bug and it's too snowy to go to shops really.

String show looks interesting

I don't believe it, the shit day has got shitter!

DH came home, we tried to go out for Chinese in my car but they were doing extortionately priced xmas menu so we downgraded to P Hut. Got in the car, won't start, petrol pissing out of tank onto floor.

DH's car not ready, mine broken, DH no way to get to work.

And he now has to walk to his friend's yard where our scary dogs are kept to walk them with a bad eye cos he got a branch in the eye at work.

It's almost funny. But............not.............quite..........

I tell ya, bad luck follows us like a shit storm atm.

Still, am so excited about having a saucy outfit to wear tomorrow night I don't really care.

How's everyone else's day? Have you lot pinched all my luck or is it a thread wide shit storm going on?

what's happening tomorrow night then OB?
Sorry about your storm of shit, Hope it thins out to a mere drizzle of shit tomorrow

Austin Powers vs James Bond party. I have a small dress which is quite rudey and knee high purple and black swirly suede platforms. Not to mention a bra with sneaky squidgey bits. I am competing with yoofs and will not be outdone.

A drizzle of shit would be fab if you could see to it FMV.

Outfit sounds fab OsBa. Hope everything else improves. See my earlier post for shit and other bodily functions update

Please don't mention drizzling shit. I just had to bath DS. Again.
