Five ****ing mangoes, Four cauliflowers, Three french beans, TooTicky doves and a parsnip in a pear tree - 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

Do you mean the next day avi? I fear you mean midnight...

Hi stuffit! How was Christmas out there? Did it feel funny?!

Hi OsBa! It's the holidays. You're a student. Crack on with the gin and revise the night before. It's the done thing

Photos are gorgeous Fran - love the wnakied bouncy chair! How was ds2's first Christmas?

I missed you guys this week [saddo]

I'm planning an early night due to feeling crap have horrid cold and sore throat but at least I don't have norovirus like my also-pg friend.

Oh avi - nice to see you but sorry to hear you are all ill and that is not nice. you will be all bloated and feel awful whilst your body is doing rebalancing and healing - you must not worry about the such at the mo.

i however, have eaten a lot of cheese and the same amount if not more of chocolate.

polypeptide chains sounds fascinating and brainy all at once
I am full of leftovers, very pleased with a carrot, sprout, runner bean and chicken pie tonight

now bunny asked for new thread
gimme titles

Christmas was different, pink. Leave the house and it's not Christmas anymore! But good all the same. We had sweet potatoes instead of parsnips and cabbage instead of sprouts and when I said I had sprouts at home there was a swivelling of eyes and an outcry of "sprouts?! where did you get sprouts?" I think B e l g i u m is the perfect place for Christmas, but really it's where the family is (soppy).

Must away, dh is ahemming.

xx

and I hope all ill people are better soon, I think mums fall ill after Christmas because they CAN'T possibly be ill before and it's all saved up inside ready for the 27th

xx

agree stuffit
i was woeing to dp and he said "but you are ALWAYS ill after christmas"
must be one of the biggest knock to the immune systems in the average year

I have eaten:

too many nuts
chocolate
biscuits
cake

Is that good enough?

I'm rubbish at titles. My brain doesn't work any more.

Was nice to see you Stuffit. Come back soon!

Agree re being ill Stuffit. When I was teaching, I was always ill by the second day of half term. Every single bloody time. Because I couldn't be ill during term time.

ok something to do with should old potatoes be forgot
god i am sure we are just recycling these you know

Hi Pink! Thanks for the encouraging words re: gin, I shall blame you.

SB - we get to see the exam papers as we are 1st years incapable of thinking for ourselves and so must be spoon fed. I don't believe this lasts, merely exists to lull us into a false sense of security - 1st year results don't count towards degree anymore apparently

uh titles.... I still am hoping for 'she bangs the plum' one day.

lol yes have searched and old potatoes was last year
i am on there ranting about needing to give up mn and having a break
how very depressing funny

oh mi like those going back in time things - i am going to peek...

Speaking of potatoes, who grows 'em? Are they worth it? What about broccoli?

Ah you see I wouldn't have been ill cause dh was off work the week before Xmas, which would have given me the break and rest I needed. However, he does the not getting ill thing while at work and was ill during my his week off, so I was running round like a headless chicken preparing for Xmas, looking after him and not getting any lie-ins!!

I don't think I've had any fruit or veg today Oh - we had spag bol from the freezer for tea so maybe one portion!! Maybe I'll find a stray satsuma. Need to go shopping tomorrow, having been away for a week the cupboards are bare.

f+v
apple
satsuma (3)
pineapple
grapes
raisins
broccoli
those long beans can't remember what they are called
corn

hmm

what about

oh fuckit can't think of nothing

oh - have just read thread from last year - I am quite bizarre and random. i am not normally like that am i?

i can;t think of a title.

i am feeling all retro though.

(we can;t do a moldie joke can we?)

LOL have you GOT a moldie joke bee?

could we? something about starting a fresh and not letting your fruit and veg go moldie...

NO MOLDIE fruit and veg for us - new fresh and shiny 10/10ers

needs work and i think i may be being insensitive - maybe..

Oh no, please no moldie jokes
