If it's apples again I'm leafing - 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

LR,I woulddevelop some unsavoury habits if I were you. And possibly diseases.

Love that song Mits May your ironing pile diminish like, erm, like an apple pie..swiftly and happily.

Thing is TooT, they are truely lovely. MIL will cook and iron and all that.
FIL mends stuff.

But, it is space.
And we only have 1 bathroom, for 5 adults and 4 children, OMG.
And dds will be at school and me at work and it could be Very Difficult.
And I am doing tonnes of o/time in June, and on a course one evening a week.

And DH works from home.
And they won't have a car or anything. God knows how they will get here from airport.

I am encouraging SIL to look at schools and then see houses in that area.

Must Think Positive
Or find a B&B for me

Lovely people can become drastically less lovely when staying though.

I haven't heard of the pub LR where is it?

Happy Anniv Guad, I hope you have a lovely time tonight.

Book club went well, and the snacks went down a treat

at the toaster being put away pink. Lordy.

Did the dermatologist actually have anything useful to say or suggest Franny? I first heard of Cavilon in a UK hospital, so must be approved of of sorts.

I had about 6 inches cut off my hair today. Aye carumba! I'm not sure if I like it though - cripes!

I thought Franny was a brunette, don't know why!

I was a fighter when I was younger, but I'm a lover now. My sister and I (she is 4 years older than me) used to fight like we meant it when we were younger, but are best mates now.

Lemur, I have no idea
I saw it on Times website, was recommended.
Have emailed friend to ask her!

people always think i am brown or red headed
it's my serious and passionate nature that fools them obviously

erm well she did come up with timodene which seems a good idea as is anti-fungal, anti-septic, barrier cream and cortico-steroid all in one
it seems so far to make itching WORSE but is early days
my plan was 1 or 2 weeks of that then hit it with the cavilon so it can't get bad again
well it could work

EC / potty thing has gone tits up
dunno why
he just refuses now
i am a bit gutted

ds2 just said "baba" when he saw a banana! my son the fruit talking genius
he will be writing titles for us next

Hello

Have a lovely meal Guad, menu looks delicious.

I have had alarming experience. Took the girls to friend's party this afternoon in a village a few miles away - was really lovely - but on the way home black smoke came out of the engine and the breaks failed. Was ok and we stopped using hand break and gears - but I thought it was going to catch fire due to smell and smoke, so grabbed girls and ran, leaving it by the side of the road and sent dp back to get it. Breaks failed for him too and he shot out of a junction - luckily nothing coming. And as he's already out of money this month and I'm down to £38, guess I have no car.

oh but also lemur she agreed to a spray barrier cream on prescription, plus option of allergist and dietician if appears relevant
all of which gp has been dragging her feet about "let's see what the consultant says"
was costing us loads in barrier creams! at 6 and 12 pound a pop. so it was worth going just for that anyway
they make me laugh though, they are so stingy at prescribing emollients etc
the gp told me that applying emollient 5 times a day was not enough, and to apply emollient every HOUR
then says in shocked way "but you were prescribed TWO bottles last month!" when i ask for more

the consultant told me he needs bathing every day (bollocks to that) and then prescribes a widdy diddy little bottle of bath emollient

i think they think i am selling them on eBay
actually if you look at eBay a lot of people clearly ARE

People always think I am a vegetarian...I must look wholesome or hippy or something....

Aggh ds1 has bullied persuaded me to let his friend stay for a sleepover. They are fuelled on gobstoppers and rainbow drops. Sweepstake as to what time they eventually crash?

oh Boco blimey
oh bugger it
glad no-one got hurt but still, bugger it

oh plums.

and raspberries
and apple

er that's it.

pointy what did the erbalist say? or do?

we went to see a clown show
i know after our discussion of house rules this seemed foolhardy but there you are
they weren't full on clowns with wigs etc but slapstick men doing things with ladders
they did have red noses and big feet though
at the end they absolutely pelted the entire audience with water
was very funny especially if you were 6

i feel quite chatty
as you may have noticed

have been to gym
1 hour and a quarter
am feeling the endorphin love

There was a children's entertainer at this party. She told us off for talking during the magic show. She was a large northern lady in a sparkly waistcoat - all her props were from about 1962 and she had the fixed grin of a psychopath. I was chilled.

actually she was quite good.

children's entertainers are always really odd aren't they
i have seen so many and they are almost without exception mad

I looked into to being one.

REally Molly? What kind would you be? A clown like Franny, or a magician?

The worst round here is someone called Poz, who makes really smutty jokes and innuendo which is very inappropriate at a 5 year olds party. I was standing with a friend who was kneeling down and he made some awful fellatio related gag at her which made everyone go and the children were [blank]. V. bad.

v funny
i am 'gentle musical entertainment' actually
i know that does have word entertainment in
but doesn't mean i am in fact entertainer

Boco have you checked your brake fluid? If it's run out, then the heat on empty would create the black smoke, and also mean your brakes don't work, they cut out if there is no brake fluid. Go and check. Do you know which one it is? It might not be hideously expensive if you've just run out of brake fluid?

Guad have a lovely time. We are going out to dinner at somebody's house. Am hungry, and worried.

TooT! I love that restaurant too.

Can't remember anything else, am so excited to share my car maintenance knowledge.

my friend wanted me to go in with her as party entertainers. She wanted to be a fairy. I was to have been a sort of punky (norty, scruffy non-pink) fairy for girlie parties (as an antidote to her pinkyness) or a pirate if it was a mixed party....

I decided it would kill me.

Our mutual friend once saved my life Moll at a birthday party when the entertainer didn't turn up. I was CONVINCED that I couldn't possibly entertain all this 3 y-o or anybody and my life was over and I would make them all cry - and she stepped in beautifully and was gracious and good and did games and songs and they all loved her. Me too.

There was a lovely entertainer at the last party dd went to! Lovely lady with really clever remote controlled pass the parcel boxes

I'm eating jelly strawberries, sour watermelons and fizzy cherry cola bottles And I just had an orange.

Nice stir fry noodles for dinner with carrots, broccoli, cabbage, spring onions and beef.

100x,doyou go there often? [potential]

of 100's car knowledge.
Perhaps your next book could be a car maintenance mauneul?

pear
baked beans

Plus previous.

We have an entertainer here who doea a lot of parties and his cathphrase is Tick Tock Smelly Socks.
The kids love it

And another who makes an adult join in at a key point so all the parents begin to retreat at certain time if tey've seen hime before
