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, ok, good. Come and sit in my car. I have a radio. Bring the dolcelatte.

Can we go for a drive? I am not very good in the dark, can't see where the road's going which is always worrying.

No more cheese i'm afraid. Two's up on the rolly.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 23:10

come back......

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 23:11

god what are you DOING
GOD
don't drive the car you are drunk and you'll fall in the pit

Boco · 31/12/2008 23:11

I think i'm over the limit so we'll have to just pretend. I did lots of driving in the dark along country lanes teh other day, it's not easy, and you go on full beam then a car comes and I forget how to turn full beam off and turn on indicator and then swerve dangerously and dp does screaming.

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 23:11

You can come in if you have the password.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 23:11

tey left us FK - they left us - just like that horrid lawyer in jurassic park leaving those children in the car and the t-rex comes.

how rude.

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 23:11

bee they've gone off pissed in the car with cheese

Boco · 31/12/2008 23:12

Franny! Sorry about the drinking and smoking and cheese.

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 23:12

that's not a canyon that's the pit
well you'd just better stay down there until you sober up
dear oh dear

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 23:12

It is a cosy canyon. Lots of pits.

Just say cheese you fuckers.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 23:12

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 23:13

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 23:13
Boco · 31/12/2008 23:13

No no, we didn't go anywhere, not like the horrid lawyer with the T-rex, no.

BBBee · 31/12/2008 23:14

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 23:14

Guadalupe · 31/12/2008 23:14

It runs in the family, Bee.

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 23:15

you have all been a bit silly haven't you
ah well

BBBee · 31/12/2008 23:16

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 23:17
BBBee · 31/12/2008 23:17

NO I was not silly - i was really trying hard but you left me here on my OWN with the bad girls.
