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

846 replies

FrannyandZooey · 07/02/2009 16:29

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

good luck Franny, go easy on him won't you...

Tatties · 07/02/2009 20:26

You wouldn't be pursuing him though, just letting him know that you care about him and still value his friendship. I would keep in touch very casually but I wouldn't give up just yet
Any mutual friends who could give a bit of insight?

He went out taking photos, got back and the remote locking wouldn't work.
Looked at car door, lock pushed in.

Nothing missing, but couldn't lock it again.
Actually, he did think dd1's HSM 3 cd had gone and was momentarily greatful

Anyway, after logging it with police, called insurance, they can't do anyhting til monday
So he went back out with torch and has kinda mended it, for now.

bastards.

AtillaTheHoney · 07/02/2009 20:28

In all honesty Franny, and with the greatest respect, my gut reaction is that he still feels very very deeply for you and the arrival of DS2 has triggered something painful.

I would send a gentle note, saying you all missed his company or something and then give him some space. I might be, and hope I am completely wrong, but I have been in that situation and sometimes the emotions get too big to deal with and you need some space to manage them.

It may be that he will want to be a part of your lives again at some point but IF I am right, it will have to be at his own speed.

Tatties · 07/02/2009 20:31

Wow at your list Franny. If I had your surplus portions I'd be alright

FK that's not what I thought when I saw the picture

FairLadyRandySlut · 07/02/2009 20:32

Franny, yeah leave a message...not sure what else you could do....at this point...!
Could maybe a mutual friend test the waters for you?

Tatties · 07/02/2009 20:35

Oh LR

TigerFeet · 07/02/2009 20:35

Does he have children Franny? Could it be that even if he doesn't still feel anything for you that the arrival of ds2 has made him feel he is somehow being left behind?

I found a couple of friends, one of whom was a bridesmaid at my wedding, fell by the wayside after dd's arrival. Frankly if they can't be arsed then neither can I - I have tried and they have their reasons for not returning calls etc.

If I were you I'd write to him, like wot Atilla sed.

FairLadyRandySlut · 07/02/2009 20:35

wow at you doing a 10km run...that is so cool....I couldn't run 1km

FrayedKnot · 07/02/2009 20:37

Tut tut tatties

LR it's horrible when that happens. It feels very personal.

Franny I don;t know what I would do. I might write a letter.

FrayedKnot · 07/02/2009 20:40

Ah, I knew there was a bike rider in our midst. How long to cycle 5 miles, Atilla?

TigerFeet · 07/02/2009 20:41

me neither FairLady. I am built for comfort

I used to be able to walk up and down hills for miles and miles and miles but couldn't run to the end of the road.

Apple
Smoothie of orange, mango, banana, apple juice
Vit pill

I am seriously impressed with the collective vegger focus atm...

TigerFeet · 07/02/2009 20:43

LR what a crappy thing to happen

Fairlady I have just clocked your name change

FairLadyRandySlut · 07/02/2009 20:45

I promise to focus again, as of monday...honest....
no but I like the focus, I really do...

Guadalupe · 07/02/2009 20:47

Well, he may well have carried a torch for you for ages, and he may well wish he had children himself but completely ignoring you FOR SIX MONTHS and not acknowledging your new baby is extremely hurtful for you.

He may have felt so overwhelmed by the news that you'd had another baby that he felt he couldn't visit but he could have sent a card.
I think it's rude tbh, and a but self-important.

Sometimes life's emotions are consuming but sometimes you think of others and do something you may not feel like doing because that's life and we tend to congratulate our friends when they create life rather than making them feel shit. Even if we post a card and then cry on the way home.

Maybe I am cold and hard and cruel but I would have to ask why you are being cold-shouldered because it hurts.

ANYWAY, I am drinking beer. I never drink beer.

My list. I need to think about it. It's not 16 that's for sure.

Guadalupe · 07/02/2009 20:48

LR - That is crap. The gits.
