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

I've never heard of sugar loaf pineapples

very creative listing, toot

banana
banana angel delight
strawberry
soup (2)
pineapple
salad

six. maybe 7. not poetic.

Oh, and further to our previous discussion on the term 'salad', here is a recipe for Cookie Salad. It contains:

Angel Delight type stuff made with buttermilk
Frozen fake whipped cream
tinned pineapple
tinned mandarins
1/2 pack of biscuits

I might ask my greengrocer why they don't sell sugarloafs. It seems they come from Mexico and my greengrocers are Mexican. They also run the sushi bar cum pizza place next door.

Franny - have you checked to see if Ocado deliver in your area, cos they do to my sister.

Hmm, sounds lovely, SB,

TF, I find if I stick to v plain carbs then my IBS ia fine, but every so often it gets bad when I ma on usual diet of brown bread and veg and fruit.
So I am on white bread for the last few days.
Also I think cheese aggrevates it

I have bookd GP appt for tomorrow to see if they can suggest anything for short term use.

Hello ,

got to dash...Seeing DS's teacher tonight with his Dad, so my turn for the wobblies.

have a fab day all......

"have you checked to see if Ocado deliver in your area"

oh yes, just once or twice [understatement]

FK they are building one really quite near my house as we speak
dp fears for our bank balance
i sometimes walk past to have a look and sigh fondly

crikey lemur
have checked again and i think they do now! bloody nora
have registered with them eg "let me know when delivery becomes available in my area" and all sorts
dp has a ton of vouchers for them! don't suppose we can use them on line though

The on be being built near you is the biggest in the country, as my sister frequently tells me

My sis has only been having Ocado deliveries for the past couple of months.

All Waitrose deliveries in my area are now free, but I guess it's a countrywide thing.

I know too much about Waitrose

It's day 2 in the non processed food house and Lemur keeps hearing the chocolate bar in the fridge talking to her and telling her to eat it.

LR is a star...she made me laugh, which was just what I needed.
I can't tell you what we talked about because I am Sworn To Secrecy

Oh...I am going to guess on and write it on a piece of paper and see if I am right about LR..

Can we lock franny in the sticker cupboard distract franny and have a thread title that DOESN'T scan sometime?

A bit like..'I get a peas-full, lemon squeezy feeling'......

Hullo Toot.

I am still bouncy and perky, can I come to Tea and wind your children up?

H has agreed to split as amicably as possible, and we are starting to look at alternative properties..... Not easy around here but I feel oddly both sad and relieved. Feels weird. But am starting to feel like my old self from time to time.

Banana,
Tomato,
Raspberries,
peach,
smoothie,
juice,

A run but a bit asthma-ey with the blustery wind.

Shitola Veggers,

I am being made redundant, am cross and a bit upset TBH

I need a change anyway, but I have to work for £ so am scared about current job market.

Have been told by recruiters that it is unlikely I will get another PT role, and that I will have to look at salary expectations and relocation.

Feel a bit sick, I don't want to work FT, at least not until DS is 5, feel trapped.

AAAaarrrggghhhhh!

Oh bollox wombling....so sorry.

Oh no Wombling, sorry to hear that! What kind of work do you do? Are there other opportunities near where you live? That must be so worrying for you.

Wombling that's awful.

Salad
Green Beans

That's it today but made it to eight yesterday.

Will keep trying.

Still no chocolate.

Thanks everyone,

I am a brand manager/product manager/marketing type person, just not a lot of PT roles in that area. Usually you work FT, and ask for PT when you have a baby etc, and as I already have babies, it's a bit more difficult IYKWIM.

Wombling, that's no good.

TooT, you wait!!!

Mits, glad that you are sorting it out amicably. It will make it much easier I ma sure.

Delicious oat slice an donion nahji.
salad leaves
load sof tomatoes
pear

TooT, you know the oat slice I bought, any idea what is mafe from, or how ot make it? It was really lovely and oaty. Does your friend actually make them all?
How was your samosa?

It is so damned windy, dd2's door keeps banging and making me jump.

Bugger, my typing is appaling.

Onion bhaji.

Wombling that's truly crappy. Good luck with finding something suitable.

Sounds like you're making progress Mitsu, I hope you continue to feel better.

LR I think I may have to stick to hte all carb diet if it keeps the IBS calm

Fruit salad (2)

Darling Womble. the twts, how dare they make you redundant!
Can you not forge a new career on shopping tv channels....?

So sorry, hope something comes up.

ds1 is baking and has just announced ''don't touch the tray mum, it's hotter than a hooker's pants''

Oh {{{{{Wombling}}}}}
They are fools!!

Sorry LR, couldn't resist...

Molly where did he get that from?

Shaking Your Limes Up
