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

Photos TooT???

Bloody hell LR just read the thread back... glad to hear dd2 is on the mend

SuperBunny · 07/07/2009 15:24

Collect contact info for frineds - fones, addresses

LR, so glad to hear DD2 is feeling better.

TooT and ]grin]

SuperBunny · 07/07/2009 15:27

Erm, I have no idea what that collect info thing is... I had copied stuff from a website and pasted into notepad then written my post in their (because it was so long and detailed, you see) and seem to have pasted extra bits in here. But why had I copied something that said, collect info- I don't remember doing that. It was a work-related site. And 'fones'?? But, it is a good idea. I should make sure I have people's addresses.

SuperBunny · 07/07/2009 15:27

I like the chickpea daze one... and then vegging all week with you at the end.

littlerach · 07/07/2009 15:38

Vegging all week is good

Dd2 sems better.
She is whinging and moaning so back to normal

A letter has come home from school re a pupil with swine flu. Dd1 thought it was dd2 and was rather proud but it says the pupil has been taking tamiflu so not us.

I think she'll be back tomorrow with strict instructions that if she is too tired then I collect her early.

TigerFeet · 07/07/2009 15:39

yy to "vegging all week with you"

SB he called you by name

SuperBunny · 07/07/2009 15:51

I know!

I now have 3 semi-good claims to fame!

I'm beginning to think that the timing for bringing DS back is quite bad. We always get ill after being on a flight and I think we are bound to succumb to British germs that we haven't been exposed to for a while. So, now I'm paranoid about swine flu. So glad to hear DD is much better, LR.

MayorNaze · 07/07/2009 15:53

hang on she has stropped off...

petticoat

posh frock

TigerFeet · 07/07/2009 16:20

Mayor what a fab outfit You will be able to do swishy girly twirls in it with no problem whatsoever. What kind of shoes are you going to wear?

I need a nice outfit, I am going to be a godmother in a couple of weeks' time. The problem is, I am a) skint and b) enormously up the duff with rather fetching tree trunk legs and cankles. Hey ho.

Once again I shouldn't be here. I am struggling to eat anything that isn't hula hoops today. Yesterday it was jelly beans. I have been lurking a bit but didn't post due to lack of any fruit and veg news. That's just daft isn't it?!

littlerach · 07/07/2009 16:25

Wow Mayor, that is a fab and cool outfit

I would love to wear something like that.

TF, not too long to go now, I guess.
Keep posting

TigerFeet · 07/07/2009 16:32

Only 9½ weeks to go. 9½ long, long weeks.

Only 13 working days left, woohoo

I am a dull pregnancy bore.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 07/07/2009 16:33

Yes it is daft TF I hope the ms has stayed away.

Mayor that dress is DIVINE. DIVINE I say.

mollyroger · 07/07/2009 17:07

Wish I was bit younger

FrannyandZooey · 07/07/2009 17:21

oh thank you ! you are all most kind. any ideas for shoes greatly appreciated.

dd2 has been switched with a small devil child- usually she is the best but today she has grown horns...it had just gone awfully quiet...guess who has cleaned her room with a whole pack of anti bacterial wipes...

TooTicky · 07/07/2009 17:54

2 nectarines
1 carrot
2 or 3 small tomatoes

fortytwo · 07/07/2009 18:13

Franny - you there? I really value your opinion (and all of you lovely veggers.) Especially if you can help me write a scathing letter

SuperBunny · 07/07/2009 18:34

SuperBunny · 07/07/2009 19:39

Dried Fruit

I was going to open a can of peaches but I don't have a tin opener anymore

I went to see a friend in hospital this morning. He had a liver and kidney transplant 3 weeks ago and it hasn't taken. He looked awful and he's not going to get better. They're all just waiting for the inevitable

SuperBunny · 07/07/2009 19:41

And he's only 3. He's lovely
