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.

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

we have swallowstoo [nonchalant]

Have fun with the Gnormans oh trouty one.

well dd2 is poorly

She has been up all night with a sore throat and ears and her back and teeth hurt. And she is v v hot. And cross.

So she has "slept" with me and so now I ma also grouchy

But she thinks she is well enough to go out later.

Our neighbours have a bird nest on their extension.

Have fun Fran.

alreet me luvvers

apple
tomatoes
onion
raisins

busy bottling elderflower champagne before jollying off to the jollification that is the SKOOL FAYRE oh joy of joys.

i may not return...

one child is hard work. but one child after dealing with 3 all fighting screaming and generally trying to murder each other constantly is ok.

some sort of rota system i think is needed, farm them out alternatively or something...

i am taking 2 to aforementioned jollies. after having 3 all morning it will be MUCH EASIER [hopeful and doubtful emoticon]

and just so i can get in on the ornithology there are 2 fat pigeons who have set up home in our tree that is actually far too spindly to support their vast pigeony butts.

except they do not realise this.

and frequently crash bang wallop out of it.

plus it is like living on a training groud (airspace?) for kamikaze pilots as every few minutes one dive bombs over your head and away over the fence for supplies...

lol @ Mayor's kamikaze pigeons. I miss swallows and stuff like that.

Havd fun with the gnorman's Franny. My whole week has been like that - suddenly everyone wants to be my friend but I suspect it is only because they know they don't have to see me again.

bunny i am sure they do really like you but there is something about not having to see the person again that is very freeing
qv internet friendships of course

Yes, there is. I'm not bothered, it's just interesting. Like, when people found out my ex had left me, I was inundated with people offering friendship and support yet a month later, it was all back to normal. Friendships are funny things.

It's all making me wonder how I make friends when I move.

Cereal
Tea
Milk

I looked after the squidgiest baby today.
Franny, there is fat wrist competition...

bunny i think shared endeavour is a good way to make friends
do you like joining stuff?
anyway why would you need friends? you have us

fruit picking massive success
we now love each other so much if they were not going to sweden we would probably all have to move in together
car broke down at end which was tricky as was car club car and all a bit complicated,
plus we were giving them lift home, plus me and ds2 had already been dropped home while ds1 and Gnormans stranded at fruit picking place
it worked out in the end
AND i put both boys to bed by myself which involved lying on duvet on ds1's floor until everyone went to sleep
they are both still up there
i keep peeping in at them
fat wrist competition INDEED

i ate SO MUCH FRUIT
i may never be able to eat fruit again
there were 6 varieties of raspberries, 4 of strawberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, and RED GOOSEBERRIES omg they are divine
have you had them? i didn't even know they existed
kind of like a crunchy wet tart grape
fabulous

Oh, we have red gooseberries in the garden...

Pointy have a good holiday!

LR sorry DD2 is poorly...

SB here we are

Talking of kamikaze pigeons, one just flew into our conservatory and flapped loads

Mayor we escaped the skool fayre because DS had a party to go to. So I sat out in the garden while DS was at the party, trying to have a quick snooze, but because the school is quite close to our house, all I could hear was Scouting for Girls on repeat over the PA and then all the announcements about the Year 2 Country Dancing and the Karate display....might as well have gone round there

Red gooseberries?

I have been focussed today

I made a big vat of fruit salad and ate two bowls full

Plus misc salads

Crunch wet tart grape does not sound all that appetising.

Grrrr. My freezer just broke, for no apparent reason, and have just had to throw away 4 shelves worth of food, including home made cottage pie, and fish, and ICECREAM! fgs. And it's a freezer connected to the fridge, so not like I can replace. Bloody hell.

So
raisins
banana
cherries
juice
cucumber
tomatoes
lettuce
melon
eggs

I'm v. much enjoying the Fra and Gnorman loving each other before they leave weekends. Is v. funny.

Is the freezer definitely broken? You know how sometimes they just set themselves to defrost if too frosty or too full? I haven't googled promise. I had a fridge /freezer that did this. Is not like the helpful brakes advice.

Im not sure, but it wasn't too frosty or anything, and it's not actually cold, even though it's on, so that to me indicates not workingness.

Where were you on my guinea pigs anus thread 100, I could have done with your googling skills!

Dd2 is sobbing as her throat hurts so much.

She seems all teeny again

Oh no poor dd LR. Has she got the flu? Hot honey and lemon drink for her throat? Can she swallow at all?

Hmm. That sounds like your pretty standard non working freezer situation.

I appear to have had the misfortune of missing the thread about your hamsters anus Boco

Oh dear poor dd2. Have you had a look with a torch? Could it be her tonsils? I'd take her to doctors if she's in that much pain. Dd2 had terrible tooth and earache last week and turned out to be an infection in her tooth and she needed abs. Hope she feels better soon.

Guinea pig's anus. They're much bigger than hamster's anuses. Is that the right plural?
