Guava Guava Guava Hey! Over The dill With The Strawbs Of A Thousand Men - 10/10 thread

[TooTicky]

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

grapes
raisins
baked beans
kidney beans

11

Not bad Guad. I will expect proper flipping in the morning.

Yo Franny.

Tigerfeet! Hello!

What is an oat flip?

Stir fry, of sorts (barley, tofy, broccoli, black beans, peas, corn) 3 or 4, I reckon
banana

previously mentioned 5, so 8 or 9. I can fix that.

Orange Juice
Banana 3 slices white toast

Baby fed 8 times last night

Can I just snooze in the corner? If I sleep with my mouth open, could you lob a bit of dried fruit at me at some point today please?

we are having L-O-N-G breatfeeds in the night
then a very dramatic and forceful hoicking off and rolling to the other side with arms flompfing over thump on the bed
then 2 second pause in which you feel sure he is fast asleep
then FLOMPF
back over to me for another L-O-N-G feed

i went to the hairdressers and he cut loads off
i don't know why
i was too tired to stop him

forest schools today
dp off
greeny coming? who knows
she has gone incommunicado

What's forest school Franny?

I used to like that song...Incommunicado...hang on, Incommavocado? Incucumbercado?

I am driving to see Boco this morning. This sounds insignificant but I can assure you it is a deal for me. Since my lessons a few months ago I've only driven the odd place with dh, never a fair way on my own with dcs. I have tried to think of excuses to flake out. When dh said I could have the car my heart sank like a stone.

Toot - I have ds1 some sweets to keep him quiet in the haberdashery. He should tink himself lucky, 100 years ago it would have been laudanum.

GAVE ds2

Franny - I hope you hear from Greeny. Do you know if her back is any better?

Good luck with the drive Guad. It should be easier without your dh as he won't be there in the passengers seat sucking his teeth. Get the kids to stay quiet so they don't distract you and you'll be fine. Say hello to Boco for me

Baby Lemur is off to Granny's for a couple of hours this afternoon

good luck with the drive Guad, is it far?

Lemur does that mean you have a spare couple of hours to come look after mine? . What are you going to do?

Apple
prunes

As a student Crispy Pancakes were a major food group, I remember Dh liking the curry ones, then all of a sudden they stopped doing them.
I can't imagine they couldve been more evil than the cheese ones.

loives are olives. As any fule no...

I have no idea hoe much coriander, chives etc cosntitutes a portion, as they are herbs But there was a LOT!

lovage is quite strong. it tastes like curry plant smells...

Is bloody nice in soup with peas though.

adding
goji
blueberries/cranberries mix
Apricots

7 so far.
Spag bol for tea, so not sure whether I'll manage much more than 1 out of that.
Could eat 2 satsumas and a pear tho' afterwards.

Going for another run tonight hopefully.

erm, the increase in fruit is having some rather noisy consequences

Is this normal?

I am childishly disappointed, DD and I spent an hour in the garden doing a huge painting with some tester pots, which DS said he didn't want to join in.

When we had finished, he said it looked like fun and could he do a bit.....but he has just smeared it all in to a homogenous mess. (IMO) and I hadn't taken photos of it....

I might have to sit on the naughty step....

Oh Mits
but you and dd will always remember doing it.

Molly , I knew that. I am any fule.

Yes, totally normal.
i ran this morning but I was crap...have had a cold for a week or three and it seems to have disempowered my lungs.

We spent a wild morning with LittleRach and one TeenyRach

We had fun, didn't we?

Mits.

have eaten salald leaves
tomtaoes
sweetcorn
cucumber
veg quiche (?)
strawberries
pear
banana

Am stuffed.

Oh yes. And laughed lots. And ogled. Sigh.

I don't suffer with the wind, but my waste produce became regular and frequent after joining.

Whilst Baby Lemur was away I was living it up cleaning the bathroom and grocery shopping - I know how to live! MIL is having him again on Monday - hurrah!

Ogled? Tell me more

I hope Guad got to and from Boco's successfully.

TooT what exactly have you been ogling, hmmm?

I cycled to work today for the first time ever

and cycled home again

About 11 miles altogether [hurrah]

It took me blinking hours though

Dried fruit
Strawbs
Salad Leaves
Carrot
Cucumber
Veg curry
Morw strawbs & rasps

We have fruit flies

Not what, but whom

Good cycling FK.
How many fruit flies make a portion then?

greeny arrived safely hurrah! she has tonsillitus as well but is lovely as ever and seemed quite serene (i suspect painkillers of the interesting variety)
boys were having a high old time till we split them up for bedtime
ds1 still very much WIDE AWAKE though

Hurrah for Greeny
