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.

Blimey Guad, that's good!

Good luck tomorrow Toot.

If it helps, I won't list either, just so you have company.

Thanks for all the good luck. Ds2 is most chuffed to be called TooTlet. He says he wants to join MN and be called TooTlet.

i think the thing about appealing is, it sends msg to ds that you don't have confidence in the school
if he ends up going there, as he mat well do, that's not so good

GUAD GIRL! (unless you meant it cost £6 to get in and you lost nothing weightwise)

molly - oh dear but oh good. 100 is right - new start and all. can you scour new school website for some unique selling point - a climbing wall or something that shiny school doesn't have and then pronounce 'by fuck my boy, they have their own crocodile' or whatever. can you find someone he knows who is going? i imagine that is the most scary thing - not the school but the mates - need to find cool mates at his school and make up fantasies about bands / birdwatching / balloon modelling.

i feel for you though - nothin worse than a broken hearted child of mine.

He is sitting beside me and chirping, "TooTlet".
He should be sleeping

We got into a secondary school on appeal but wasn't start of year 7 and we had moved to the area (within half a mile of the school - we picked the school, then drew a circle on the map and found a house within it!) But there is hope! And if not then everything happens for a reason

aw at tootlet
hope all goes well

Why, thank you.

Good luck, Toot. And stop smearing up the window will you, sit down fgs.

TooTlet - sing it to the tune of TooT Sweet from chitty chitty bang bang

Roasted veg. Two portions.

Pointy came back! I did NOT scare her away! She came back, hah! Tell 100x I did not scare away pointydog. Good.

I just slouched off quietly for a bit, boco, and wore a hat over my eyes

Losing 6lbs is like the size of a cat or 3 guinea pigs! Where does it go? I'm quite freaked out by that.

Vey mysterious pointy. Scottish teacher, likes potatoes in her pasta.

a-dore Jamie oliver

Not the slippery spaghetti?

Mayber pointy grated it finely...

I grated it finely, but it was still rank.

tagliatelle. And I used a peeler to shave the little vivaldi potato into transparent slices.

I listened to jamie
