There's a carrot in my kitchen, what am I gonna do? 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.

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

I think it's okay if it's spring metal in a stir fry.

ingins with a hard g. onions up here in scotchland. Although I just say it for fun, I am not that vernacular.

rhymes with mingin

I learn ONE new thing a week about you pointy. Last week that you were a teacher, now you are scottish - are you? I look forward to next revelation.

I don't understand ingin.

pointy you are hanging out here quite a lot
we might have to give you a sticker or something
although our sticker monitor is in bed i think

banana
mango
apple
raisins
dried apricots
chickpeas
beetroot
apple
kidney beans
mushroom, leek, swede, carrot stew
melon
grapes

= 11 or 12

blimey, boco, based on those revelations it must be one new thing a year. I know I am a little secretive but really.

Re ingin. It's a scots word for onion. That's it.

dd2's oxters smell of ingins. They really do, so we say that a lot while passing the deodorant.

wtf are oxters
i am lost

franny, I've noticed your list always seems to be over 10

s'ok, I don't believe in stickers

Ingin - scottish word for onion. Isn't that right teach?

Now, I knew she was a teacher see, but I thought she lived in Ireland. Why is that? Have you ever lived in Ireland?

Last week I found out from Pointy that she is obsessed, OBSESSED I tell you, with roundabouts.

armpits

pointy that's because i have to win

never even been to ireland

oh annoying top of the class denying x post

erm, erm, I think oxtets or whatever she said is a scottish word for erm, either armpits or feet.

You're right, quite secretive, slow progress - so, give us some detail now to make up for it, maybe some photos, your CV, relationship history, intimate thoughts etc.

Damn x post again

boco do you have the latest people tree catalogue at all? i would suggest you might quite enjoy it

I wasn't late for bookgroup as I got the time wrong. I was late back for the babysitter though. And I did bad weightwatching and drank gin and wine and pretzekls and crisps and mini liebniz.

We discussed future books and we are going to do 100's! It was my turn next but we are going to wait till next time so it's out in paperback. Stingey group, exceptfor snacks. The snacks are plentiful to my chagrin.

That'll be a whole year. OMG. How can they bear to wait that long?

Thank you. Actually thank you all.

I haven't been listing so Franny thinks she is winning.

There, there, Franny. Apple?

I am tempted to eat five plums to beat franny

No,no, not a year??? Caroline said it would take three months to be in paperback... that's how long hers took.

I might make a tearful speech.

If Boco insisting Pointy share her intimate thoughts and CV doesn't see her off, I'm confident my - gather, gather - speech will.

But I won't, I like PD. She needs to stay. She needs to stay and tease that plum, and feel overwhelmed by fruit and have concerns about waste.

look boco here is a ruddy gorgeous erm top
