It Ain't Nece-celery So - 10 / 10 thread - with new ADDED FOCUS

[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.

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

we played family dinner game and ds1 had to answer the question "one thing i would like to say about marriage is..."

he said "you don't have to get married to have a big wedding cake."

i expressed astonishment and he said "no, you don't. you could ask the vicar to make you one, then run away to a different country without getting married."

his answer to "how i would spend my perfect evening" was "eating chocolate."

hmm. boy needs some FOCUS if you ask me

i have a dilemma
can i put on here or shall i lob to mn at large? it isn't really traumatic or anything
however neither is it fruit based

Brilliant stuff Franny.

Do it here, I can't cope with another thread.

Oh
My
God

Morrissey is NAKED in the guardian

Sorry

Fire away Franny

Doing a bit better today (but not 10): apple, fruit juice, raw carrot, spinach, lentils, tomatoes

Third reading mishap of the day, thought you said te garden...

Maybe good thing i collected reading glasses this morning

lol Toot...

bless Franny....well, and put it either here or into the yurt space....well...unless you would want lots of different people to reply that don't necessarily post in here...

at morrissey
i also thought you said garden! i thought "now THAT would be a good birthday present for tatties"

ok ta
will ask you all

LOL at in the garden! Oh my, now that would be a turn up for the books

Prefer David Tennant.
Or Sportacus....all moustache and fruit.

well we have this friend
he was my bf for about 4 years and he was still quite attached after we split up (ie carried a torch for ages)
when we had ds1 he went a bit funny and we didn't see him so much for a while
as ds1 got older he started to be in touch again but he has never really had the relationship with ds1 that i hoped he would have
he really likes children and is wonderful with them and is such a great role model etc
but has never had own children / has had no luck with relationships recently / we are all older now and he will probably never have any now

we suspected when ds1 was born this was a problem for him
which i can understand

anyway since ds2 was born he has just vanished
does not return calls, have had zero contact for over 6 months now
did not send a card even or text when he was born
i know from other friends he is ok - i mean not dead or anything
so the question is

do i just leave it and we will i presume lose touch altogether
or do i keep leaving messages? if so do i say "look have we pissed you off"
or just be casual?
or leave him be?

i just don't know what to do
we were such good friends but obviously things do change and we have drifted apart, but i don;t want to never see him

Oh LOL at all moustache and fruit!

book marking

Sorry Franny x-posts

Let me read yours

Can you get in touch in a casual not-seen-you-for-ages-let's-catch-up kind of way/

yes i can toot
do you think i should though? i mean, if he doesn't feel comfortable for whatever reason, is it cruel to pursue him?
maybe he just thinks we are boring bastards now
i kind of think well if he doesn't want to see us, let it go

but i miss him

2 satsumas
pizza express salad
1 large carrot

Have I missed much today? Have been busy and not really sat down properly until now.

DS was up in the night and took about 2 hours to settle

I need matchsticks

how long did it take him to get back in touch/closer to you all after you had ds1, Franny?

ages to get back to normal fairlady, but he didn't vanish that time, he just came round less often and it was a bit awkward

sorry, not much help with focus here

will list in a minute

Do you think he might come round in time again, like he did before? I think I would try to keep in touch casually. Maybe he just needs a bit of space to deal with things

apple
grapes
banana
raisins
melon
banana
beetroot
mange tout
hummus
black eyed beans
kale
carrot
mushroom and onion
baked banana
melon
apple

= 16

and 1 hour at gym

i claim a sticker

i am certainly eating a shed load of f+v, this focus doodah is brilliant

I would try once Franny, just to test the water. See what response you get.

Oh bollocks, must we list?

tatties i don't know, it feels sort of permanent this time
i mean i think it would be sort of awkward for him to get in touch now - what would he say - sorry i completely overlooked the birth of your baby and ignored your calls for 6 months?

i cant let it lie though, even if i should - i have realised that while we are discussing it
i think i will phone him now
i won't say oi where have you been you cunt
honest
