My Bloody Clementine - 10 / 10 thread

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

She can have ibuprofen and paracetomol if it really hurts.

FairLadyRandySlut · 14/02/2009 12:11

Toot...hmmmm did you have a late night sesam street session? Are you still alright?

lol Wombling....my virtual Drinking Buddy....how are you feeling?

Franny rofl...shall call you Frannygella from now on

mollyroger....Roller Disco sounds good fun ...although I would probably break my neck, lol
duh at your dh...why give you someting you don't even like...man can be so stooooopid....

BBBee...I ingested lots of fermented grapes...(aren't I jsut such a Health Freak )

littlerach...lol at you dd

Guad...you stay in bed...lazy person you

Well...I am all lonely, bar teh Kids, of course...and feel a bit unloved and sorry for myself...which is stupid...
still got bloody problem down below...this cystitis thing seems to kinda come and go, or something...will go shopping later and will hopefully be able to get some cranberry juice...I wonder if Buscopan would help a bit....i.e. because it feels like my urethra is cramping or something....been taking nurofen...as I was hoping an anti inflammatary might work...but doesn't make much difference...I suppose if te problem persist I will have to go to the GP/Nurse and get something....tbh, if they were open after work and stuff, I would have probably been gone to see them already, hohum...

sorry, for being such a winging Baby...

How are we all...am with those that got pressies...some flowers would have been nice, or even better some chocolate...pah, shall be buying myself some when shopping...

Guadalupe · 14/02/2009 12:14

I am going to try and have my hair done like this.

FairLadyRandySlut · 14/02/2009 12:15

wow Guad...very Glam

Guadalupe · 14/02/2009 12:17

It looks the least glam out of the all the pics I have been looking at! Their was either very set or scraped back for the day.

LOL at fannygella. Ha ha ha, hahaha.

I think you can get over the counter cystitis stuff now. No idea what's in it though.

Guadalupe · 14/02/2009 12:28

Can you go to a walk-in surgery after work, fairlady? I don't really know what helps with that.

FairLadyRandySlut · 14/02/2009 12:37

ILike..well, you can get those sachet things you put into water...but they make me barf as I drink it...just can't stomach them....and for whatever reason there is nothing in pill form that could do the same...was told I had to go to the Doctrs to get somehting in pill form...but they tend to prescribe AB's...

Guad, lololol at Fannygella..oh and have no idea if we have any walk in surgery around, tbh...

Guadalupe · 14/02/2009 12:41

I would probably ring the surgery and say you can't get there during the day can you have a prescription, if you've tried and failed with stuff in the chemist. It sounds grim.

I suppose I ought to get up.

FairLadyRandySlut · 14/02/2009 12:43

yeah...will see about that....

Guad... you are still in bed???

Guadalupe · 14/02/2009 12:46

I am.

I can't remember when I last stayed in bed this long tbh, was probably clubbing days. I will get up and have a bath in a minute then I might go down for my breakfast. The dcs are leaping around on the bed wearing half my jewellery box.

FairLadyRandySlut · 14/02/2009 13:13

lol Guad, your Guadlets sound like my boys...not sure what it is about jewellary (sp?)

So, how much Cranberry juice should do it? I bought 3 litres and am halfway through the first carton...hopefully it will give relief...

mollyroger · 14/02/2009 16:12

I am a roller skating diva queen. Tis oficial. I even managed some grapes, pineapple, carrot sticks and cucumber. And banoffi pie.

FairLadyRandySlut · 14/02/2009 16:21

hmmmmmmmmm banoffi pie....[drool]

FrayedKnot · 14/02/2009 17:49

Apple
grapes
Salad Leaves
Celery

2 hours of housework

I was hoping for a sticker for that but I see Molly has probably trumped me with roller discoing

FairLady I'm sorry you are suffering. I don;t know much about cystitis - hope you can find something that works.

Guad & Boco - enjoy the sailors

I've just bought a shed. It's going to be all mine and I'm going to pot things in it. Or go to pot in it. Or something.
