Chick chick chick chick chickpea, lay a little egg for me - 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.

Guad, he'd prob like the shed to stay in.
With a hot water bottle.
And a flask?

Would be lovely for him.

We have had the most beautiful sunset tonight.
So that means good weather for tomorrrow, doesn't it? I htink so.

we are twats but we aren't THAT big twats

i am putting popcorn in the party bags; if i make tonight will it still be ok tomorrow?

you are so damn cosmopolitan, franny. I still feel a bit like I'm on holiday eating humoous

One of the first things I bought with my paper round money aged 12 was houmous, along with brown bread, apples and orange juice.

and now there are so many types of houmous, lemon and coriander, red pepper, butterbean and lemon...

how very bizarre, guad! Truly. Why on earth did you do that?

When I first earned money from tattie-picking I bought a Best of 10cc album fro Woolies.

I didn't eat humous until well into my university life. Same with olives, blue cheese, pesto

I craved it. I grew up on egg chips and beans, corned beef and chicken goujons. I knew it was wrong. Mum reckons I used to walk round asking where the table was when I was three.

I taught myself to cook at a young age. Have always liked good food.

but how did you know about humous aged 12?

Are you really young? Or did you grow up in a Big City?

aw yeah i am so sophisticated
except remember when dp came on and told you all i like cheesy chips or whatever it was

Well, I knew about it because my violin playing, houmous and black eyed bean eating chums would feed me that at their house and then I would cross the tracks back to a garden full of car parts, Mighty White and paste.

I grew up in a city and am 31. Not that young.

lol @ cheesy chips - you should be on harry hill

peer pressure to eat humous, guad! You mixedin teh wrong circles

I was quite old before I came across pesto though, and I thought I was tres swish eating that.

goodness me but you are young.

Is that young? Oh good, I feel old this week.

yes, that is very young. You just think yourself lucky

oh lord i am wrinkly one on here as well i always forget
went for meal the other day all attendees going on about how dreadful to have turned / be turning 30
i LOLed inside and kept quiet

I feel like a spring chicken.

Look a little like one

well I think I look a bit older since losing weight, more puckered. Have a new moisteriser though with marshmallow in!

Hello Happy birthday to Franny's DS

TooT, you need to start looking after yourself better, running fine, if you are physically fit, and are nourishing yourself properly.

Have just made my ds's b'day cake for tomorrow, s easter nest cake as recommended by SB Have just fallen out with stroppy youger sister over method of cake making though. I am not precise enough for her exacting standards unfortunately.

I am one of those scraggy old boilers that housewives used to eye suspiciously and throw in the pot anyway

I didn;t know anyone who ate hoummous when I was 12.

I also discovered it at Uni with pesto and felafel, and 'dodgy cigarettes'.

we will be making an easter cake tomorrow. AM looking forward to it. We have those fluffy chicks and everything
