Should old tom-ay-toes be forgot and lemon brought to rind - 10/10 thread

[TooTickyDoves]

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

for all the poorly vegger family people and for pickledlatte and nuther.

Brocolli
carrots
sweetcorn
tomato
pear
banana
rasins

Dh had a cheese, peanut and avacado toasties yesterday

Dds were playing midwives earlier and dd1 announced that her baby was coming and called for the maid. lol.

Happy new Year wondrous veggers.

lol rach
my radical friend was here with her dc when i was pg and they were all playing "dd has a baby"
i was going "have you called the midwives?" and my friend was shouting "you don't need anyone to birth your baby dd, your body knows what to do"

100 tell about the party

Which party missus? NYE?

Sorry to hear about your mother F&Z. Have just skimmed last ten posts.

DS is 16 weeks, so he's a got a while before he is weaned, but I want to read up on BLW before the time comes.

I wouldn't be surprised if he weans earlier than 26 weeks tbh. He is a biffa also and has very good muscle tone in his neck and core muscles. Like you mentioned, you need to see what the baby is doing rather than waiting for dead on 26 weeks.

The link was made by me a couple of pages ago.

Hi 100.

Fran, dd1 used to play it all thwe itme when i was og with dd2.
She used ot say they needed to bounce on my tummy to get the baby out

Sorry shit typing.
Hot water bottle on knee

Tis cold

Hello LR.

100 yes
did we already hear about it? if so

moveit, ds2 still can't sit steadily but we tried him in highchair today and that gave enough support
i must say it was very entertaining watching him pick up a carrot with great concentration and ds1 was beside himself with excitement

I can't believe ds2 is sitting in a highchair! You only had him last week. [shakes head] He is extraordinary.

No, you heard about birthday party I think? NYE quiet, little to tell, was nice, sedate, here, lots of children too, v. little inappropriateness. Yawn.

yes he is genius
and he ate an exotic fruit also - is so cultured

[nods] He will be Fruit Attache to Washington by the end of the year.

Ooh 100x

Franny, MN will have to start a f&v g&t topic for him

Hello TooT. Did you have a good Christmas etc? We are alone as of today. Have collapsed.

Not you and me alone, me and mine alone.

That does sound very shit, Ob. You have had a lot of bad luck haven't you? I hope it improves.

How worrying about your mum, franny. Hope she gets better soon.

Happy new year, 100x.

Well, it was okay. There is stuff all over the floor.
Actually, that's nothing unusual, but there's more of it.
And we now have Playmobil cutlery to worry about

Oh dear sorry OB, I've not read thread.

Hello Lupe. Happiness to you too.

Were you overrun with people 100x? I don't think I could do that.

Playmobil cutlery sounds v. high maintenance. I found the playmobil rabbits and carrots quite demanding when we had them. The hair and swords somehow less so, but the rabbits. I think they bred.

We have had clear out. Massive clear out. I don't know where all this stuff came from in the first place.

Banana
spring onions
lettuce
mixed berry smoothie
salsa
mixed seeds
leeks
carrots
peppers
mushrooms
alfalfa
spinach
cabbage
ginger
garlic
lychees
strawberries.

No not really TooT, but we did a Grand Tour around the country, and I did all the cooking etc at my mothers, and then we came back here and it was a social whirl and then people came for 3 days over New Year. [looks pale]

Was nice, but now am tired. I find social contact a bit draining, and a bit exciting at the same time.
