Shouting guava guava guava shouting mega mega white bean - 10 / 10 thread

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

Not away and don't have swine flu! Things are very hectic here as I'm supposed to be moving in a couple of weeks when they finally move the electricity and I haven't really started packing. Really, not one thing.

Am also supposed to be starting my PhD in September and I've been freaking out about whether I'm ready and whether to defer. Blah blah, very boring so I won't bore you with my moaning.

I keep moving flat pack boxes around the house but actually putting anything in them. I hope to return when I have created some order in this madness.

Hope you are all chirpy and hope dd doesn't have swine flu LittleR, and hope Greeny recovers soon and hope things settle down for you too, MW.

Right, goodbye.

SuperBunny · 05/07/2009 16:00

EachPeach, of course you can CAT me... [curious]

I'm still njot convinced about red gooseberries.

Sending love and get wellnesses to LR's DD2

Good Luck Guad

FrayedKnot · 05/07/2009 18:48

Oh dear poor DD2 LR, hope she's a bit better tonight?

And Mits, I'm thinking of you. Read some of your thread, didn;t realise things had come to a head. {{{{{}}}}

I didn't realise things had escalated at home Mits. Stay strong, and here's some {{{}}}.

Mayor - was it you who mentioned buying an expensive petticoat? Cos someone did and I completely forgot to say 'when is the big day?'. So, when is the big day?

We went to a village fete type thing today that also had an air show. Baby Lemur LOVED watching the planes.

I noticed last week that he was starting to pay attention to planes and helicopters (we are in the flightpath for RAF Mildenhall), but he was loving the planes flying really low today.

I'm almost too to list today

banana
raspberries
mixed salad
oj

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 05/07/2009 19:13

Oh, and Mrs Dumbarse here got sunburnt.

suncream on ds - check
suncream on self - doah!

It was cloudy and I thought I would be ok. It seems I was very wrong.

DH is being v smug as I'm always on at him to be careful in the sun.

littlerach · 05/07/2009 19:15

Well she seemed a bit better this morning but has gone downhill again

And hasn't eaten anything really.
Usually she usually has the appetite of a horse.

TooT, she won't have the honey, even when I told her you had suggetsde it.

She has v red throat and spots on the back of her tongue. (Thanks for torch tip, Boco).

I will call drs in morning and see what to do then. I am a bit worried that if it isn't swine flu, and maybe tonsilitis or somehting, then she won't get seen or any medicine. Plus it will be the third day of Nurofen,.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 05/07/2009 19:21

Sorry to hear that dd isn't any better.

Don't worry about how long she's on the Nurofen. As long as she has the correct dosages, it won't do her any harm to have it for a few days.

The spots sounds like tonsilitis. It can make you feel very poorly. When I used to get it, the early symptoms were just like flu.

I hope you both have a better night tonight xxx

SuperBunny · 05/07/2009 19:31

LR

I love Mildenhall. I don't know why. Something about Fighter jets and men in uniforms and Top gun perhaps

littlerach · 05/07/2009 19:43

Thnaks Lemur.

littlerach · 05/07/2009 19:44

Oh SB, it can't eb long now?
How are you doing?
Do you know where you'll be living?
Will you have internet access?
Are you excited? Or is it all too stressful right now?!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 05/07/2009 20:24

Mildenhall isn't as exciting as it used to be. They don't do the air shows anymore and there aren't places where you can see the planes (a 9/11 thing I think).

Considering how close we are to the base, there aren't many Americans around and about.

Is it about a week or so to go SB?

FrannyandZooey · 05/07/2009 21:36

sorry to hear your troubles MW
i hope in the long run it will be a good thing as i know how unpleasant you found it living with him?

new bedtime routine here so far tentatively declaring it a success
after having to put them to bed in same room last night due to dp being out with broken down car, i tried it again tonight but left after ds2 fell asleep
he usually sleeps on me in evening and can wake up quite a bit
tonight he slept for over 2 hours in ds1's room (have moved him to our room now as he woke up)
ds1 usually takes a fair while to fall asleep and calls down a lot for dp to come and see him, which winds dp up
tonight he called once to say he didn't want ds2 in his room and once i had persuaded him he did really he fell asleep with no further ado!
