The Lychee Lads - 10 / 10 thread

[FrannyandZooey]

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.

Snow is gone here so no chance of schools closing.

The meeting was long. It was extremely painstaking at points, going through all the different kinds of rice for eg. I spent £280. They only meet every three months or so though so I have trays of tinned tomatoes, 24 litres of rice milk, 36 loo rolls and god knows how much rice. Maybe I should sell some at a profit from the front garden. Oh hang on, that would be a shop.

They were all quite posh and over forty and proper grown-ups with proper jobs. I wonder if I will ever feel like a proper grown-up.

Tiny - your tongue sounds very sore. Can you get some kind of spray to keep using so it doesn't dry up as much?

lol @ 'that would be a shop'

I think it sounds v. grown-up Guad, and you are automatically given grown-up status for attending and sucking your pencil and taking a keen interest in rice. I'm impressed.

Do you eat a very lot of rice Guad? How long will that last you? Do you use it for anything other than eating?

I have to go to a grown up meeting tonight too. I have been made art co-ordinator of a playscheme without realising. I'd forgotten about tonight until a woman this morning said 'see you at the meeting' and i remembered and swore to myself quite a lot.

Actually I chewed a biro and spent quite a lot of time looking round the kitchen pondering whether it was originally two rooms, whether there was a steel in the ceiling and whether they'd had to lower their floor to get the nice tiles.

That and wondering how they kept their fish tank so clean. This was particularly intriguing so I asked and she said they cleaned it out yesterday and went back to the floor cleaner and I felt a bit silly.

We do eat quite a lot of rice. I have two kilos but I don't know how long that will last. All these things to discover.

Could you get a trap door in the new kitchen leading to a grain storage facility?

NO!

That would be like, a cellar.

was it a corn starch biro Guad?

didn't grain storage used to b upstairs to avoid rats and things?

a what?

a biro made of corn starch. Looks like plastic but you can actually eat them although you're not supposed to.

Oh. Are they fattening?

You could have a grain tower then, like in Witness with the Amish peoples.

If I was a good mother we would have a sledge

tiny would something like artificial saliva be any good....or have you tried those Glycerine lemon sticks?

I have no idea. I heard of a pg woman who adored them. I nibbled one once out of curiosity, it tasted sweet.

like these

Feather needs one of those for her tongue.

who'th dithguthing my tongue in my abthenth?

awww tiny

Oh god, Mou, has it split down the middle?

I think I might look at thome thort of thpray or thomething....it ith a good idea.

No, but I have virtually no thaliva and it ith horrible!

The little pastilles just stick to my tongue...

Anyway. Last night sounded expensive interesting Guad. I look at those sort of things when I am in different places.

I am going to bed. Or the sofa or a small corner where I won't get in anyones way...will be as perky as a perky thing when I arise!!.........
