Original post by the lovely FrannyandZooey

For anyone who wants to boost their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - If you don't normally eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 mins is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restictions on what you eat as long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving your energy levels and hopefully mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you are 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.

i haven't done tax return or car tax - i will go for a hattrick when i can think of another kind of tax i am supposed to do.

BBBee · 30/01/2009 23:15

where are you all?

i came back early from a party because i wasn't in the mood-- to talk to you.

I have pointy boots and am in a strop.

Tatties · 30/01/2009 23:24

Hello

It's fine, I am not being taken advantage of, situation has diffused

It is very late, think it's time for bed

TinyANiceShadeOfLilacFeather · 30/01/2009 23:36

It is time for bed, and I am hyper.....but not time for a run methinks.

Hello Tatties...

Oh Pink.....will be thinking about you

And Molly, I had your mobile number, but have lost it again....could you e-mail it to me, if you still have my address.

I am using my tens machine on my back and it is SUCH a relief...wish I had had one years ago, but it sends muscles into spasm which can be highly amusing and entertains the DC's no end, to see Mum twitching uncontrollably.

SuperBunny · 31/01/2009 02:56

Evening. Cannot cope with new MN and wading through all posts. Have skimmed - nice to see Idris and Tatties back.

Raisins, banana, apple, juice, peas, corn, spinach, dates, avocado, strawberries and a RUN

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 31/01/2009 07:32

100x could I please have the link to your book? Franny has my email address.

How very exciting for you. I had no idea you are a writer. I've just got back into reading again after having ds. I go to bed an hour early every night and read my book, it's heaven.

BBBee · 31/01/2009 07:55

(can we pretend i said the same thing as lemur rather than all the swearing and stropping - thanks!)

BBBee · 31/01/2009 08:07

i quitre enjoy the new look - it is very white and minimalistic - like the house i wish i had.

also i am horribly fickle and can't really remember what it ws like before!

TooTicky · 31/01/2009 08:49

Good morning

My, you are all very talkative atm.

Ds1 is swollen-cheeked but able to eat cooked apple.
Ds2 had a lot of tummy aches in the night and is now pale, hot and flopsy.
Dd2 is grubby-faced but in good spirits.
Dd1 hasn't been sighted yet...but I suppose it is still quite early.
I got up a little before 6.

100x - please please say if you are signing locally! Going to find a picture of it now...

How is our Pink? And TF?

SK, are you on facebook? I'm glad you've come back to us

TinyANiceShadeOfLilacFeather · 31/01/2009 08:50

Hullo.....am buzzing! Have just done a run and managed to achieve a personal best!!

Feel so perky it is ridiculous

Errr Toot, I have a massive problem with my phone, I can't get a signal anywhere? Will persevere though.

And 100x, thrilled to bits for you, also didn't know you were a writer and would love a link somehow....go for it!

Off to Mil's today...

Sorry you came home early from party BBee....obviously much better company on her!!

The sunrise here this morning was absolutely fantastic and inspirational.

Have a good weekend to all and hope those with anything planned today have rewarding results...

Cheers lovely people xx

TooTicky · 31/01/2009 08:51

Oh 100x!!!!!!! You engrossing new voice you! [proud]

TooTicky · 31/01/2009 08:52

Feather
I have just fb'd you molly's number

SauerKraut · 31/01/2009 09:00

I am, Toot. Are you? Actually, I think I have your name. I shall invite you if I find you, although I haven't done very much on it yet. And watch out, I have filthy brothers...
Hi, FK, how are you?

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 09:24

100 that last post was highly accomplished, and in fact quite startling

ooh let's follow 100 round the board being sycophantic
oh no i already do that
well let's be sycophantic with bits from her reviews

anyway
morning

ds2 slept better - some 2 hour stretches
not so itchy and only one nasty patch on his back, rest has calmed down a bit
so
dairy?
or dubious foreign creams?
or complete randomness???

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 09:25

and polly

oohh

the smoths are FUNNY - not depressing

"it took a big nosed boy from birkenhead to really really open her eyes"

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 09:30

oh and posh raisins are some big round fat ones we found
i ate them all with cashews, and dried mango [sugar rush]

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 09:30

lol at "the smoths"
ds2 was helping me type

TooTicky · 31/01/2009 09:38

Hello Franny, glad ds2 is feeling a little better. And well enough to type....progress indeed.

FrannyandZooey · 31/01/2009 09:40

morning toot. sounds like progress at your end but still rather wearing
how is the day looking?

stuffitllama · 31/01/2009 09:43

oh dear
I'm afraid I couldn't wait for the link so found 100s book without permission ..probably not form at all

hello all -- Toot you got some sleep! for you that's pretty good isn't it

stuffitllama · 31/01/2009 09:45

the reviews are fantastic ..startling new talent ..very well deserved I'm sure

but now I understand the not going out job thing.. lol at the barrister

anyway jolly good show x

TooTicky · 31/01/2009 09:48

I think that's fine Stuffit, as long as details don't appear on here.

Sleep, yes. 9ish - 5ish with a few breaks, so not too bad.

I have a LAPTOP! It is on my lap and I am on the sofa between my boys.

I will be using a different email address, I will circulate it shortly, please let me know if I leave anybody out.

stuffitllama · 31/01/2009 09:57

put a cushion under Toot

think I'll suggest that if 100 doesn't want anyone else to do same then a couple of posts by various people could be deleted and it would help

stuffitllama · 31/01/2009 09:58

i mean Toot, put a cushion under it
not telling some random person to put a cushion under you

TooTicky · 31/01/2009 09:59

Okay, my alternative email has been deactivated because I haven't been using it. I can't get outlook express on here, so where shall I go for new email?
