There's nothing swede about me - 10/10

[BBBee]

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.

I like it too. I think her mum is Italian.

dh has slain all trojan horses so I'm back. TWF - your healthy puter vibes are good man!
Glad to see you've all missed me...

Have any of you actually left the computer today at all??

Hello new people!
I'm a female pirate. I am 39 this year but I only look 37.....ish.

And with her peg leg screwed in, 34 1/2.

You feckless landlubbers!

I'll have you know that an eyepatch covers a multitude of wrinkles sins...

Avast Behind!
(Sorry, not you specifically...)

I've been told I look 29 Molly

I told everyone at work that I was being classed by my GP as an old gimmer older mum because I'll be 35 soon. They were all supposed to be shocked and tell me I don't look a day over 30. They didn't.

I like being 39 so far. I am way healthier than I was at 30, and I'm glad I've made the effort to be.

TooT hooray for the chickpeas and tomatoes. My advice to anyone new or feeling like new, would be, 1 portion is better than none, and 2 is even better. Tomorrow you might have 3

Sometimes 10 can seem an awful long way away when you are staring at the bottom of an empty fruit bowl.

Polly I thought I recognized you. You could harvest your lawn and eat it for one of your 10, perhaps?

I don't know how old I look. people always say I look too young to have ds1 but that's because I AM too young to have ds1. It doesn't make me look any younger for my age does it?

Mind you, it would be worse if I did look old enough.

Have spoken to health trust and the woman said it was dreaful but it's the surgery's fault. I should have been taken off their list completely after the surgery, any further checks should be organised through the nurse as obviously cervical screening is not applicable. The surgery told me last time that it was their fault and they would pass on a complaint. Health trust says they didn't and it would have been good if they had because they could have put them right.

I wish someone had mentioned that when you approach your fourties your hormones go off like a firecracker in a fireworks factory though...

Just can't run far enough sometimes....

why am I so shit dim at recognising namechangers...?

Casually mention that you are finding it very trying and ask if they have the address for formal complaints at the GMC Guad.

I haven't got the energy tbh. Hopefully it's all sorted now.

I have just managed to make cacherel hot choc with whippy cream and sprinkles for dcs and made my self a green tea.

I have been rewarded for this restraint by ds1 calling up the stairs that ds2 has done a poo on the chair.

It's all glamour.

It's all glamour here too, I've just been told off by both dds for swearing. Yesterday the printer broke, so far today the dvd player has stopped working and the tin opener doesn't work. The final one being the Last Straw and I've been shouting at a mangled tin of tomatoes for some time. Am so FED UP with DVD player - as TV doesn't work, freeview doesn't work, I NEEEEED a DVD player to WORK. How will I watch cocksucking Deadwood now?

Cocksucking deadwood, what in the fresh hell is that?

Lol, I was going to ask but didn't dare. Who Is Deadwood? and why is Boco watching??

Sorry. I was a bit cross. Another brisk walk in the drizzle to and from Rainbows and it's fine. Ahem.

I like to have a series I can watch, while doing drawing, as the TV doesn't work, so it has to be on DVD. I did all 5 series of the Wire, then Rome which wasn't very good, and now Deadwood, which is set in the wild west, starring oddly, Lovejoy as a saloon owner and all round cocksucker. It's quite addictive. So I don't want the DVD player to break.

Sounds, gripping.

it IS quite, Guad

Now I see why you like it. it's beard porn.

You know me so well.

Beard porn? Is this what happens when you reach your 30s?
