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 crap, it's last day of term tomorrow...should DS be giving his teacher a present?

TigerFeet · 18/12/2008 21:40

DD's teacher got a lump of my aforementioned Mahoosive Marvellous Christmas Cake. I thought she could probably live without another "Lovely Teacher" piece of tat and had no idea what else to get

DasherDancerPrancerFMVixen · 18/12/2008 21:41

she will be a MILF!!

TigerFeet · 18/12/2008 21:42

[deluded]

FrayedKnot · 18/12/2008 21:43

Hmm. I wonder if anyone will question an L-shaped Christmas cake if I carve a bit off it?

TigerFeet · 18/12/2008 21:47

Is it square FK? You could cut a length off it and have two oblong Christmas cakes Mine ended up as two squares and an oblong.

SuperBunny · 18/12/2008 21:56

'L' shaped cakes are perfectly acceptable

I was once told I was a MILF by my best friend's DH I was strangely flattered yet totally repulsed

FrayedKnot · 18/12/2008 21:57

It's 10 o'clock....somehow I cna;t see me doing the cake thing tonight.

So...I have done a quick scout through the cupboards.

I have found:

A jar of chutney
A bottle of nice organic apple & cranberry juice
A bottle f wine
A can of guinness

There are people in the world that have things tucked away in drawers just for these kind of emergencies, aren;t there.

SuperBunny · 18/12/2008 22:07

Thats not a bad find, FK

SuperBunny · 18/12/2008 22:12

I am meant to be going out tonight - only singing, not partying, but still out. I bullied persuaded my friend to babysit but now they are forecasting 12 inches of snow. Wah!

DasherDancerPrancerFMVixen · 18/12/2008 22:20

I love singing....

12 inches?

Must go to bed, night all x

TooTicky · 18/12/2008 22:22

What is a MILF? [dense]

TooTicky · 18/12/2008 22:26

Fine, don't tell me. See if I care.

DasherDancerPrancerFMVixen · 18/12/2008 22:26

Mum I'd like to fuck, as decreed by spotty youths....

TooTicky · 18/12/2008 22:34

Thank you fmv. I feel wiser yet slightly soiled by the knowledge.

You still there? [hopeful]

SuperBunny · 18/12/2008 23:04

TooTicky · 18/12/2008 23:06

TooTicky · 18/12/2008 23:09

TooTicky · 18/12/2008 23:15

Sorry to be slow, computer is running walking crawling tonight.

pinkspottywellies · 18/12/2008 23:31

I'm still up! Wrapping furiously! Not doing too badly. Have all the family stuff for the people we're seeing on Sunday sorted. Might stop now and do the rest tomorrow night.

Going to a Christmas party in the morning
