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

Rofl, Franny......

I am laughing, but it wasn't was it Toot?

TooTicky · 09/04/2009 19:03

It is a stick blender, not a jug one. I was just absentmindedly licking the end when it occurred to me that it was still plugged in and my thumb was still over the button.

Franny, I like the sound of leggings boy...all the hairdressers around here are rather staid.

FrannyandZooey · 09/04/2009 19:05

no he was chronic toot
he has a HYUUUUGE fringe all on one side and big ugly on purpose glasses and a top with grace jones on in silver

ok ok

There is a bitchy, trendy, camp boy who works in the salon I go to. His shoes were so pointed they turned up at the end. I wanted to warn him about bunions, but I knew all I would get in return would be an epic withering look!

I often think of those huge ear piercings (do they have a name?) I guess that when you eventually take it out it doesn't heal? If so, you're left with a gaping great hole in a saggy looking lobe.

God I'm getting old

banana x2
dried fruit
apple juice
grapes
satsuma
olives
humous
various beans
tomatoes
onions
mushrooms

I can't believe you licked the end of the blender. Are you mad?! Don't answer that one

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:14

i cooked from an "easy indian" cook book today -- odd because I think you might struggle to find some of the ingredients at home and it was impossible to find double cream here, it was a halfway recipe, I should have cooked it in hhmm kazakhstan? have been in the kitchen all day sneezing at chilli powder

attila i thought it was you rustling in the breeze but I wasn't sure earlier!

our friends are back, they are visiting then took dd to look at tigers then came back and suddenly she's all grown up and untouchable and mature

hope tf's thing was ok

this is far too long, anyhow I think 10/10 should have its own book

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 09/04/2009 19:16

Wild tigers Stuffit?

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:20

yes, in a reserve

my friend had to get out to do a poo behind the jeep as she has bad stomach and she said that as they drove round looking for tigers they passed her poo three times

she had to do it in the road because she was too scared to go into the bush, quite right too

then the hindi guides had to bury her poo on the last go round so it wouldn't unnerve the tigers or something, and she was horrified they didn't wash their hands, so she handed round nivea wet wipes

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:21

is there an exodus this weekend? are you at home lemur?

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:23

actually have a new name for poo issues

"intestinal hurry"

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 09/04/2009 19:27

Yep, I'm at home.

lol at the poo incident. How mortifying Wet wipes should be in every emergency kit

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 09/04/2009 19:28

Oh, and I meant to say at seeing the tigers. I love big cats.

Are there only Bengal tigers or are there other breeds?

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:31

god yes it's the only thing I used to go up the baby aisle for

when I went up baby aisles in a previous life
I wish i could go up one now

how nice, do you put eggs by their breakfast bowls in the morning

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:32

oh good question, but I don't know, I'll try to put some of dd's pics on the profile

can you identify them? have you been to Africa?

TooTicky · 09/04/2009 19:33

Oh, the poo ha ha!!

okay Franny, I can see how he might look a bit of a tosser in the flesh. Or the fringe.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 09/04/2009 19:34

Ow Stuffit. It must be really hard missing home. Here's a bosomy hug from Suffolk {{{}}}

What eggs by whose breakfast bowls? eh?

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:34

Toot it's been a while! also on poo: my cat has just done one in the bath again

she has a look of supreme satisfaction on her face

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:35

FrannyandZooey · 09/04/2009 19:35

pointydog · 09/04/2009 19:36

I really need to try to eat 10 fruit or veg. My willpower is shocking

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:37

FrannyandZooey · 09/04/2009 19:38

i have got ds1 this instead of a chocolate egg
you have to bounce the eggs on a table and then all run round and shout and catch them or something
it sounds terrible

hotcrossllama · 09/04/2009 19:38
