Shouting guava guava guava shouting mega mega white bean - 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.

Flutters eyelashes at Molly and SB....

Molly...I love you!!!!

g'is a hug and rant away.....

I'm thinking a meet up for all available veggers at the right time, at yorkshires finest sculpture park would be a damned fine idea.... this music site is fablious

You type in one artist and it creates 'radio stations' of that kind of music that you can then edit....Think it is also a forum as well.

Music and savage beasts and all that....

I appear to have done a link that reveals my dodgy taste in music when I am working ....sigh..

Goddammit...I AM walking on sunshine....

oh....corrr..lemur do yer wanna sit orn moi lap?

Nobody has offered to do me

I'll do you, TooT. Apparently the concern with me being lesbian is NOT that I will be shagging girls but that I will be shagging LOTS of girls

I had the joy of bumping into my ex this morning. That was nice

cos of course if you are a lesbian SB, you are automatically promiscuous, obviously.

WTF!!!!!!

[suddenly shy]

Although if anyone were lurking on here, they might misguidedly get the impression that we indulged in nekky, girly romps involving squishy vegetables and over ripe fruit..lolol

was noone at all impressed with my 10 portions by lunchtime (fnarr fnarr?)

well as I have just had the yummiest spiced vegetbles with couscous, I can now add mushrooms and courgettes.

and then pineapple.

Thjat's 13 you know.

and spent 1/2 an hour running up and down the park cheering ds2 on, as he finally lerned to ride a bike

Imagine the disappointment when someone googles 'girly romps' and gets us

Going for a long walk tonight in training for sponsored walk next weekend. Lots of salad, lentils, nectarine, hummous, cherries, grapes, raisins.

molly i don't want to inflame yer pmt but i must admit scepticism about your 10 for lunch
i can see you had 10 types but you're saying you had 10 portions in one meal? that's nearly a kilo of veg

Actually, I was thinking just today how we don't give Molly nearly enough credit for all the stuff she GROWS. She bloody grows all this stuff on an allotment.

I'm so impressed by that. Bloody hell, if I had an allotment and grew all this stuff and then cooked it for my family, I'd expect a ticker tape parade through the yurt every single day.

I was genuinely thinking this today Molly. While sitting on my back step looking at a wood louse. I've had a v. thrilling day, as you can doubtless tell.

I quite like woodlice. They remind me of trilobytes/trylobites. Are they related?
trylobytes
trilobites
hmm

molly you are fab
even if you didn't eat 800g raw veg you are fab
i wish i could grow stuff - i would love an allotment
but i can't even manage a tiny garden
am veg charlatan

I was thinking Toot how effortful it all looked

Well. I'm worse than that. I was even offered a bloody allotment. I'd filled in the form in a dizzy moment of believing I might have an allotment and a shed and a hat and things.

When push came to shove

being a woodlouse?

no that's better 100
at least you had a go
i really really really should be out growing things
it's pathetic to home ed and not do stuff in the garden
there's an allotment site less than 10 mins from us

Yes. It was making slow progress, legs, shell, heat. Also v. dark on a v. pale stone.

No I didn't have a go. That's the thing. I wrote back to the council and said 'er, actually, sorry, was just showing off, don't want one.'

oh we did grow raspberries! but apparently that is foolproof as any other plant would have died had it been treated the same way
including being kicked over by Neighbourhood Boy (who was out breaking bird's eggs yesterday grrrrrr>

but you SIGNED UP
there was the POSSIBILITY

never realized though.

Also organic allotment site v. near us, dd dying to go and volunteer at the weekends. That should be the perfect compromise. Have we ever been?

We may be growing some tomatoes this year. Perfect Neighbour gave them to us. She pities my children. Last year it was strawberries.

My perfect neighbour has the coolest allotment I've ever seen. It has an old tin bath in it, she sits in the bath in cold water in the summer. And it's beautiful, and smells divine and she gives us things from her allotment, and says I can go sit there whenever I want. Has an old bench, and somewhere to keep wine cool too.

The whole thing is v. shaming really

ooh I like the bath thing
