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

...just wanted to know you were OK, pink....disappearing in your state is no good foy my health you know.

Love the new title...well done.

Can't remember if you do hugs Osba...so have a friendly punch on the shoulder!!

No useful advice on poorly teeth...have them all pulled out?

Toot, I am ironing really I promise.

Whoever it is that is FBing I can't remember or find you so could a mutual friend link us up. My little brain cells get lost in the huge vaccuum of my head.

OK. Goodnight, things to do, people to see, places to be.

Oh, Hi SB before I go

cheery wave to all...xx

Hello. I'd like to gloss over the fruit and vegetables today I think. I think there was a grape earlier.

Sorry I missed you earlier Toot.
Have you slept yet?

Guadalupe · 20/01/2009 21:29

I think most people are not actually vegi?

People only mention a duck confit or croque monsieur in passing for fear of retribution, unless they fancy the whip that it.

I am hot, and I ache, and I feel like lying down. Sadly I must not be ill as I have not wrapped the presents or finished the number two biscuits and tomorrow I must have a small person party at lunchtime and a driving lesson and then family for tea and be a general whirl.

Therefore, this feeling is purely psychological. Yes it is.

Boco · 20/01/2009 21:33

How are the driving lessons Guad. I quite miss old John now, will you give him a cuddle from me?

Guadalupe · 20/01/2009 21:41

No I will not. I will, however, say hello from you and attempt to convey some of your fondness verbally. Will that do? I will give him a Bon-bon if you want.

They are okay. My parking is far from fab and he had to use the brakes for the first time last week as I didn't sloow down quick enough exitng the duel-carriageway. I am sure I would have stopped but he didn't share my faith.

pinkspottywellies · 20/01/2009 21:59

Oh Bollox. I've been sitting here for an hour watching TV and on MN and FB. I haven't done any ironing. [useless]

FrannyandZooey · 20/01/2009 21:59

Did you like how I did that a bit funny, so as to leave you unsure as to whether I am actually drinking diet coke and eating a twix
