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

don't be sorry fk
i know v little about this myself

TooTicky · 05/02/2009 21:11

So shouting inarticulately about crudites is the way to Franny's heart

I am walking a bit. Think my hour clinging to the cooker did me some good. Good thing the laptop is here...

AtillaTheHoney · 05/02/2009 21:12

Toot....have you tried a tens machine to ease the pain?...you can borrow mine if you like.

TooTicky · 05/02/2009 21:13

no, I haven't - it's only recently that it has been so bad, outside of pg

that is very sweet of you, but you need it surely

AtillaTheHoney · 05/02/2009 21:14

Porridge and I don't get on very well. but I could do a sort of mashy thing...
With carbs etc..FK

littlerach · 05/02/2009 21:15

tooT, listen to radio Wilts, they list them every 15 mins or so.

You can also look on website but it isn't v good at updateing.

Have spoken to school gov earlier and she says they'll probably shut tomorrow too as v bad forecast

see here

Dd1 didn't improve v much over the day. And I forgot that i had "punished" her for her violence to dd2 by taking away some reading time, so she read til later than she should and then reminded me

Tomorrows another day and all that...

AtillaTheHoney · 05/02/2009 21:16

Well.. I am not using it much at the moment, and you could try it and then give it some consideration if it works.

it is a very interesting sensation.

TooTicky · 05/02/2009 21:17

thank you LR, do you know frwequency for radio? couldn't find it on website and don't have realplayer yet

TooTicky · 05/02/2009 21:17

Atilla, will talk to you later?

AtillaTheHoney · 05/02/2009 21:18

Does DD1 react to any food stuffs LR? I have heaps of info on food sensitivity and the way it affects their behaviour if you are interested.

AtillaTheHoney · 05/02/2009 21:19

Yes Toot..

littlerach · 05/02/2009 21:40

Atilla, she is a picky eater anyway! Thanks though. I think she just gets v cross and then goes a bit beserk. It's v frustrating as she is v v well behaved at school, and can be wonderful to dd2, like at parties and when they don't know anyone else. But at home she is just mean to her, and won't share or anyhting and it gets v disheartening.

(Sorry Fran, forgot which thread I was on)

Anyway...frequency, no idea!
this is the webpage. though I notice our school isn't on there
WE just twiddled the radio til we found it. V scientific

Off to bed so night all.

littlerach · 05/02/2009 21:41

it is snowing really hard.

TooTicky · 05/02/2009 21:45

Really?

I am not actually here, just waiting for ds1 to come up for Lord of the Rings

hmm, that is pecking order stuff I think L, whilst protecting her own o[pack, iyswim

Where IS ds1?

TooTicky · 05/02/2009 21:47

Thank youLR

Ah, here he comes...

FairLadyRantALot · 05/02/2009 22:16

I am to thick to work out what Franny was trying to tell me, although it was probably code for shut up you stupid bitch or something like that , I am sorry, I probably wasn't very helpful at all, I do apologize...I blame that mulled wine, me ( well as in why I can't decode franny that is), not foot in mouth...can't blame that on mulled wine, that is just me ...

but yeah, mulled apple juice is very gorgeous, too...when I went through my Juicing Phase, I would often have freshly juiced applejuice , heat it very gently with some cinnamon and stuff...yum!

Guadalupe · 05/02/2009 23:06

Sorry, have been out stuffing my face and watching an incredibly depressing Revolutionary Road.

Cherries
sultanas
mango
banana
broccoli
dates
grapes
spinach
leaves
carrot
onions (bloody loads of onions)
apple fluff juice is that a portion?

11, or 12.

Quote of the week? Well, there's a first. Shame it had to be a terribly constructed sentence.

Dh bought me the puppies.

Guadalupe · 05/02/2009 23:09

How could I forget the rhubarb. It was so pretty.

TooTicky · 06/02/2009 06:52

Congratulations on your puppies Guad
Now we want to see them...

The thought that made me spring out of bed this morning was, did we see Pink yesterday??

littlerach · 06/02/2009 07:38

TooT, no school again

AtillaTheHoney · 06/02/2009 08:03

Awwwwww...puppies

yes where is pink?

'ullo all.

TooTicky · 06/02/2009 08:07

Great stuff LR... I think...
I must email you about woodcraft. Kick me if I don't.

Good morning Atilla

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 06/02/2009 08:09

Oh, no I don't remember seeing Pink yesterday. Are you birthing that baby Pink? Or have you just got stuck under an avalanche of ironong?

What are those dried sour cherries like? Are they really really sour? Like screw your arse up sour?

No snow here today. I bet your kids are having a fab time in the snow.

AtillaTheHoney · 06/02/2009 08:10

Mornin' Toot.

I don't think you should be kicked...maybe just chased with a vegan feather duster.....

TooTicky · 06/02/2009 08:25

Sour cherries can be quite sour, but it depends what you have them with/after.
I think your arse would be safe though.
