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

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 thought of another Mary Poppins thing you do 100, - when you say 'now lets get this quite clear shall we'.

Back again,

Boco, Def think it is toxins coming out, natural detoxing, oh yes.

Yes Boco. [tight collar emoticon]

What list?
yes, my dad likes her, how did you remember that?

Well I liked the toxins better on the inside where I couldn't see them, make them go back in! How long will they stick to the outside then? Why can't they just fall off altogether and stop hanging around making me cross?

I remember everything. Everything. I can't help it. But it is all part of my strange and slightly sinister power over small children and frustrated suffragettes.

Actually sometimes I have to remember to forget because otherwise people think I am obsessed / stalking / in love with them because I remember too much.

I think I have let that just slip. Please to know that I am not obsessed / stalking / or in love.

Well not all that much.

I have just come back from v. nice trip with dd. We had huge hot chocolates and apple strudel.

I quite like this new look MN you know.

It's very clean and airy isn't it?

Boc- I feel like I am in permanent denial and yet my body clings on with a pincer grip to every damn oz. Skin's okay atm though. It's obviously all still within.

Strudel?

I like it now it's spread out a bit. When I first logged on it was like a posting sandwich that you had to squint at.

I think I am probably a walking toxic wasteland. My skin is okay, but I am awash in caffeine and no healthy mineral can survive. I think the fact you are de-toxing means the Good Things are fighting back. I have No Good Things.

So, actually it's very positive. Excellent. Spit spot.

I love the smiths but not in a mad-eyed gladioli-waving way.

I am having fish and chips tonight. Would rather not but am at social event and that's what's on offer. When I say it's a social event - it's obviously not at canape level. May have some red wine too.

Someone has GIVEN me Notting Hell by Rachel Johnson. Do I look like the kid of girl who would want to read a book like that? Am a bit insulted. Now tell me it's amazing.

Well-begun is half done 100x.

Or something.

Ha ha, I'm sure it's AMAZING, Polly.

Would you really rather not have fish and chips? I would rather have them but I am being good and cooking chicken of which I shall have skinless breast and treat myself to one wing and only lentils, no bread.

I have two boojas for pudding though.

ah well 100 it says on the side of my coffee jar 'rich in anti-oxidants'

I did a bad thing - to get myself off uber strong stove top ponce espresso i bought a jar of instant decaff. It is like faux coffee - the nicorette patch of coffee. I inhale it by the jar full in vague hope of caffine like effects.

Oh.

My.

Roger.

I loved my song and I loved that you chose it and I loved that no-one said 'oh she can;t be that'

I am not good at the core values.

Um, molly yours is smoking.

Boojas sound like slang for marijuana. I imagine some annoying students saying 'roll me up a fat booja, dude'.

I was driving to swimming today and the sun was dazzling so i pulled down the visor bit, and it has a mirror on, and I glanced up at a sunlit close up of my t-zone and audibly screamed. It's very distracting to have a mirror there, I'm sure it shouldn't be, i'm going to have to cover it up as this de-toxifying thing could really cause a road traffic accident.

I said it was perfect your song, and I loved it the best.
I did.

We have stove top ponce coffee maker too. Dh and I make way too many cups with it. With caffeine.

Polly - who gave it to you? Why did they do you think?

ha! I have a collection of shit books like that - and those awful ones all written by jolly Irish women which all seem to be about a group of women who all meet tenously because Caitin's husband was shagging Muarag's sister who runs Aishling's Weight Watcher class - which people at work press into my hand because ''you're so fond of reading, dear''.

I am saving them up for a book swap event next month where I will joyfully dump them before running off with perhaps just one or two depressing Bucolic dramas. (If it's got some kind of 19th century shepherd on the cover, I'll have it)

whizzing in to mark the page

god you are all really detoxifying
I like the "audible scream" on adjusting the mirror

have you heard the sorry i haven't a clue team doing Girlfriend in a Coma to the tune of Tiptoe to the Tulips

Mary Poppins had a lovely t-zone. I always thought it sent the wrong message though, tidying up by magic.

I thought it was a good message. Life doesn't have to be all grime and drudge. If you perfect your complexion to dewy from dull, all manner of magic things come your way.

Boco will be mopping all weekend.

I am of course making snidey jokes based on your posts which are no doubt untrue, Boco, not that I think your t-zone is a car crash.

It looked lovely last time I saw it.

Why you ...
