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

Name and details on my photos page (but no photo of him yet) and you should all be mates so be able to see.

Went for a lie down at 5pm and noticed tightenings (not painful but regular) did DD's tea and had a pop and a trickle. Read story. Phoned hospital, got MIL round. Arrived at hospital at about 7.30, same midwife as last time (friend from before ) which was total luck! Born at 8.44pm with a little help from my pal Entonox. Had a 2nd degree tear but only cause he had his hand across his face. No stiches. No sleep on Sat night. Day in hosp yesterday, home at about 4.

Awful night. Haven't had a baby who cries before

Everybody's kids back at school? I have ds and friend today - inset day. They are doing Big Boy things in his bedroom - now and again there are GRINDING noises and muffled thuds.
