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

but she still comes aroun' these ear parts?

Feel free to take a leek.....

she's here for as long as she has a lengthy list (and a stout pair of shoes)

oh Graciegrace, she runs these ear parts...
She's The Governor!

She'll be along dreckly, I'm sure.

Have you come to give her shoe advice Gracie? You really really should.

I know its a useless effort.

DOesnt she wear Cornish pasties on her feet?

Why are you here Gracie? Are the rest of us not good enough? Some of us eat F&V. If you need advice on fashioning a cock out of clay, you do really need Franny though.

Franny is probably busy weaving new shoes out of lentils

Ooo Pointy, they're not bad! They're a bit puffy and more cakey than I usually like but they taste good. DS loves them but said, "ugh, I don't like chocolate. Take it out"

oh god all STOP TALKING heeeeelp i can#'t keep up
i bet you are all being funny as well

It was a hysterectomy, Pointy.

I do feel okay about it actually. I haven't crumbled in on myself in an absence of fertility and seem to function well enough, though sometimes I wonder if I give off an 'old' air on some basic biological level.

There is a really annoying boogie beebies song coming from somewhere. I expect it's on dd's profile and I don't know her password.

Franny, don't worry. I'm never funny. You've had a visitor though...

right
gracie who are you
and whaddya want

guad a year! it's good to remember dates like that and mull things over, i think
you don't look or smell old in any shape or form from where i am standing

boco oh dear. i am sorry. i am sure it was not meant to be for some reason - one of the psychiatrists will probably run amok and knife the person in the bunk bed below, for snoring

My builder just zoomed up on his motorbike to collect the spacer tiles I chose for the fireplace today. He had already cemented in the bargain ebay fireplace when I arrived and said 'oh no, I wanted to replace those vile tortoiseshell spacer tiles that spoil the beautiful cream flowery ones, you must uncement it and wait for me to find suitable replacements.

He thinks I am mad and spoilt probably. I mean, if they were there when I moved in then fair enough, but what's the point in putting IN vile tiles. No point at all I say. The reclamation man is a friend of a friend anyway so he did me a deal at 20 pounds for the lot. Bargain.

LOL at pointy and bunny
pointy you cannot discredit bunny like that
she is a good vegger and counts her portions correctly
she has read the OP and i believe she has PRINTED OUT THE PORTION LIST AND REFERS TO IT
there you see
i do pay attention sometimes

molly you are often funny and when you are it goes in the round up

oh, a hysterectomy. I think that might make me think a lot too, on an anniversary. Even though it would be irrational. I think I'd cry A Lot to dh.

bunny, yes sue's cookies are a bit cakey but this means that when they are cold (have you actually let them go cold? hmm?), they are nice and chewy. We like chewy cookies.

Actually I think all you veggers are funny in your own way.

I'm glad today has passed in an ok way for you Guad.

I have found that most people in the building trade don't have an eye for aesthetics. They just get on and do the job, but don't always think about how it looks. Actually DH isn't too bad (he's a builder) but some of his subbies are shocking.

right get ready for FOCUS

4 fruits (LISTED EARLIER please take note pointy)
plus 2 portions dried apricots (this is such piss easy way to squeeze in portions, you only have to eat 3)
sweet potato, yellow pepper, carrots, onions, mushrooms, all roasted in a frittata = 2
salad 2 helpings, probably 1 portion
raspberries
banana
raisins

a triumphant 12

walked a mile or so to first aid and back, carrying large bald baby = exercise

I thank you ladies.

(better late than never>

That was my thnaks that were late, not the applause.

yes all the veggers certainly are funny in their own way
some more than others

anyway, i also liked nicky's please validate me
hoorah nicky
moll you found her a v good sticker, i don't think i've seen that one before

i don't miss smoking any more either - well maybe about once a YEAR i think mmmmmmmmmm
but really, no problems
i thought it would never go, but it does

oh hello gracie have searched you
i THOUGHT it was you in your first post on here but then it didn't sound like you
have you missed me? i never get to play much in the daytime now or indeed at all
so i just splurge on here from time to time
i miss you and just general pissing around threads
