There's a StarFruit waiting in the Pie.......10/10

[TinyBlueFeather]

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 liked Lemur's Abba title. Can we have it next time?

Ooh I just had a burst of energy and cleaned the sink and kitchen floor while I waited for my drink to cool down Now when I've had a biscuit I might manage some hoovering!

Oh no mamag - actually redundant? What's going on?

MamaG....I hope it isn't for long. And something even better turns up.

Oh, and Franny, I love that you summed up my 'core values' as 'diet-coke' but everybody else got personality traits....as deep as a puddle me!!

I am having a t-shirt made up!

what's happened MamaG?

pink! You celebrate your inner madge, girl!
I was going to suggest
this, just to cheer you up a bit and because I thought you might like the idea of being the saviour of the human race...

I will try to ignore the fact that no-one has attempted my core values. Except for that Guad, who told me to fuck off....

mymama, what job do you do?

Hope Tootlet is ok today.

Big hugs for feather.

Good Title

MamaG, what's happened?

It?s hard work keeping up here.

Smiths songs depressing? I give you Boy With the Thorn is his Side and This Charming Man. Clever, witty, shimmering guitar??..

Ah Mary Poppins 100x. Can you do the tidying up thing? I would LOVE all the toys to march into boxes as I briskly clap my hands.

It?s been a trying day at work. Have given a leaving speech and panicked about being under-resourced at next week.

Toot sorry to hear about your ds ? hope it?s nothing serious (I feel as though I am blundering around on a thread where you all have a history

MamaG tant pis re: redundancy

Fruity breakfast FAIL again. Late up and then DS appeared with a footballing injury, angling for a day off school. Foot soaking, anica application and briskness took up valuable fruit grating time.

no no, not the songs depressing, but nothing which yells Core Values for Tatties!!

We are very devout Smiths worshippers here Polly.....

I don't know you well enough to find your core Value song, polly. You could give me some clues and I will meditate on it

hexcuse me molly! I did your core values you silly pirate hooker.

I love windy walks. So many people seem to be irritated by the wind but I find it makes me feel purposeful and I stride on and develop intentions, till I get home anyway.

MamaG - That's not good news. Sorry to hear that. Dh is waiting to hear too, his dept is coming up for a round of redundancies very soon. They are shipping lots of the work out to India. Just what we need while paying two mortgages.

I resisted cake but gave in to hot chocolate. It's effing freezing waiting around after school for dd to go swimming. Isn't there some arctic snow coming this weekend?

Polly, are you Smiths fan? You will be able to think up witty Smiths titles and franny and tatties will love you all week. Mind you, I still have that other one going round in my head and I'd never heard it before. Heaven knows I'm vegetable now.. was it?

I've just discovered that Dream Academy did a cover version of Please let me get what I want

I've eaten more vegetables in the last week than for ages, so why have I got spots and feel frumpy and pungey and fat and rubbish? Hmm?

[eats jelly babies aggressively]

I lost my cash card, it was gone from my purse, and I came up with all sorts of scenarios in my head about thieving bastards at the swimming pool changing rooms. But the people in the co-op had it in their safe. Good people in the co-op. Good people in the swimming pool changing rooms.

We are having spit chicken with tarragon for dinner, and herby lentils and purple sprouting.
I have prosseco, I ought not to have but the off-license was closing down so it was cheap cheap.

You're not losing your funds again are you, Boco? Tsk. You are as bad as me.

Boco, I wanted to give you this song, but I actually want to give it to ALL the veggers because I think it is so apt. So this song is the Core Values of all Fruity Bitches. Take whichever version you like best.

Phew,

Found you all. took me ages to catch up and then had to go and deal with poorly children, so never got back.

Molly, I think your core value is kindness.

like all the songs btw,

uh oh, kids hurting each other, bacl later!

Do shoes count as clothes?

Boco, that always happens to me when I start eating properly again. People will tell you it is all the toxins coming out but I am not convinced

The toxins are all coming out and forming a jabba the hutt type exterior then.

I'd choose the Cundi Lapper version Molly

Oh Boco. Yours could be Eve Cassidy couldn't it? I thought of that because she was on the list. Fields of Gold. Would you like that? I think you wouldn't because your Dad likes her or something. Anyway Molly's doing it and she's brilliant.

lol that's my favourite too...
I also like her Girls Just Wanna Have Porn
