Okrahoma! where the wind comes sweeping down the plains - 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

not eating good stuff

grapes
beautiful little vine tomatoes
lots of mixed salad

now, could I count marmalade?

I put my bike in for fixing today. With Intent. So one lot of 10 should get done at any rate.

i am going to Focus after the weekend
probably
what are 10 / 10 ers doing? we went to a party in the morning (ds1's friend who is lovely girl, co-incidentally with aspergers) then lounged around in cafe garden for lunch
tomorrow tidying and dull stuff
monday a big park with apparently 12 adventure playgrounds of varying difficulties? sounds extraordinary
supposedly they start at toddler level and go up to be challenging adult level

I was wondering if Focus meant a shop or a band?

Holiday weekend - I am mainly lazing.
Ferrying dd2 to hockey club
Seeing 17 again and eating at frankie and benny's
lazing
trying to sort out weekend holiday in August
bake cherry and almond cake
lazing
cook pork belly

aren't focus an old prog band?

No bank holiday here so doing nothing. Waiting for DS to come back.

where is ds, bunny?

(I do worry about missing so much of these threads that I become a dotty repetitive bore)

Adventure playground sounds class. As does cherry and almond cake. It's a holiday weekend here too, been planting tatties, sweetcorn and green beans. And practising like mad for a concert.

My dad came to visit today, and took us for lunch and then planted sweet corn and cress seeds with the girls, was very nice. DD1 is staying with her cousin at my mum's tonight, she just phoned to say she can't sleep as she loves and misses us, but I think she'll be fine now.

Tomorrow we're going to friend's for afternoon tea.

Not sure about any of the shoes, are they not a bit school shoeish? They remind me of the shoes dd1 wears.

yes, teh shoes are a bit frumpy girlish. I'm sure something funkier will turn up

With his Dad, Pointy. Til Monday morning. I usually have lots to do but have a quiet weekend so I am missing more than usual.

What concert, Sauer?

Howdy.

I liked the boots.

We're off to Sutton Hoo tomorrow.

banana x2
OJ
grapes
satsuma
peppers
rocket

LOL AT Okrahoma....

We are having an impromptu bbq with friends. We decided at 2.30. Guests arrived at 3.30. I am proud to announce I mamanged to conjure up roasted veg cous cous, coleslaw, home grown baby leaves and herbs salad, greek salad and a rice salad, along with a frsh fruit platter. And veggie kebabs and halloumi.
ignore --the meat
We still have guests round the firepit, which we are calling a beltane fire

There are stil some children running round with glowsticks.
Oh shit, I believe they are mine.....

oh, frumpy shoes are unfortunately all i can wear
i have to have an orthotic thing in, so i need t-bar or similar, or laces, or whatever
can't wear those boco! cute though
i am going to have to work the frump look

fuckwit neighbour update
god TOTAL fuckwit now
dp and i sitting here in our pyjamas
suddenly loud banging on the back window! someone in our back garden? we were really freaked out! was after 10 pm
dp went out bravely and it was fuckwit neighbour who had leaned over back fence and banged on our window

he wanted to borrow a lighter

tosspot
we don;'t have proper curtains at the back because we aren't really overlooked, just a voile thing
so not too keen on people leaning over into back garden when i am in my pjs tbh

Ooh Franny. I like your OP. I have read it fully and am happy with the aims therein. [keen]

BIG sticker for you pink
