A Quango, a Quango, it made me eat the mango - 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

Whose, mine? I don't live in a town.

Guadalupe · 13/03/2009 20:54

No, 100, but you can tell me who your favourite person is in your town if you like.

TooTicky · 13/03/2009 20:55

Oh, I'm not sure I have one.

Guadalupe · 13/03/2009 20:55

I mean, it's not far is it, if 100's best mate isn't any good and Franny's passed out, the rest of us can swing down a little further into the west country.

Guadalupe · 13/03/2009 20:56

Really, no favourite people?

Well, what about the postman, does he have nice lips?

TooTicky · 13/03/2009 20:57

Oh the postman is quite sweet but I've not inspected his lips. His name is Scott.

TooTicky · 13/03/2009 20:58

Actually, 100x is further west than us. About 10 miles I think. I should know this.

TooTicky · 13/03/2009 21:00

No, not no favourie people, just not a favourite person. Iyswim.

Guadalupe · 13/03/2009 21:01

Scott the postman. I can't picture a postman called Scott for some reason.

Oh well, back west to the party then, maybe 100 has some tardy yet fit friends about to arrive.

Guadalupe · 13/03/2009 21:02

Ah, I see. An orgy. It's a bit wild your way, Toot.

mollyroger · 13/03/2009 21:02

Erm, hello and welcome to the launch of this amazing book, whch is like, totally amazing. I'm sure the author needs no introductions. Which is good because I can't remember her name at all. And I can't see any Ethipoean women. 100000000 herself will be taking the floor in just a teensy moment, to read an extract of her totally amazing book. Just as soon as she has finished bitch-slapping that woman with the hair over there who has been flirting with her husband.

Erm, I've also been asked to point out that due to health and safety, can we ask guests not to swim nekid in the pool.

And could that woman with the toolbelt please stop eating all the canapes.....

BBBee · 13/03/2009 21:03

well the pr girl says i am 100 favourtie person in town - i would get off with you but i have got my bloody she wee tangled in my tool belt.

He doesn't look like a Scott actually.

TooTicky · 13/03/2009 21:08

Franny, cow stuff does that. You had purified yourself.

Oh yay! Role play. I can't join in cause I need to go to bed but I'll enjoy seeing how it turns out tomorrow. But I have just realised that I didn't get 10/10 midwifery services Humph!

DS's hearing loss is permanent - not just gunk. He won't be able to hear normal speech type volume but will be able to hear me shouting at him . Only in one ear though and the other is fine so not the end of the world [stiff upper lip] DH pointed out that he won't be able to join the forces, which he and my friend who'd had dd thought would be a good thing - not being able to do a job where you might get shot! Ah well, there are much worse things that haven't happened to us, so it's all good

Then we went out for dinner and then to toys r us and bought brightly coloured nappies and a bouncer and a Harold the Helicopter for dd. Hoorah for retail therapy [shallow mummy]

Very little intake of F&V today. Please may I have special dispensation to count pate, chocolate spread and noodles given that I spent most of the afternoon in the hospital!

mollyroger · 13/03/2009 21:18

oh pink, I'm so sorry to hear that

FWIW, I only have limited hearing in one ear and I can do everything.
Except play the pinao.
Drive
Do Maths
Understand Cricket...

etc

TooTicky · 13/03/2009 21:18

Oh Pink {{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
I expect his brain and other ear will compensate beautifully.

And you didn't get the midwifery services because you rushed off and gave birth before Stuffit said you would, so we were quite unprepared.

Guadalupe · 13/03/2009 21:20

Sorry to hear that, Pink. Must be stressful. I think you are forgiven the noodles.

TooTicky · 13/03/2009 21:21

I think I am going slightly hyper.
