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

FrannyandZooey · 25/06/2009 20:41

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

help, how do you backpedal out of danger zone. when you are careering towards an almighty row over nothing but can't seem to shut the fuck up???

mollyroger · 08/07/2009 16:12

I am not feeling terribly well (I played a game of russian roulette with my sphincter earlier and, erm, lost )

I have had a terrible stressful couple of days for lots of reasons and dh ad I are really snappy with each other. I need to rein it in..but...but...am drawn like moth to flame to making smart-arse comments, lol!

in between stomach upset I am trying to eat sensibly!

FrayedKnot · 08/07/2009 16:12

FrayedKnot · 08/07/2009 16:13

Oh dear Moll

You need space

mollyroger · 08/07/2009 16:17

No, s'ok, I have changed my pants...

FrayedKnot · 08/07/2009 16:22

I meant "space", not space

littlerach · 08/07/2009 18:06

FrayedKnot · 08/07/2009 18:42

I have been swotting up on pumpkin sex.

Apparently, the pumpkin plants I have chosen to grow in a fairly small, cramped garden in a raised bed about 5 ft square will grow shoots of up to 12 ft long

And to get any pumpkins to grow I have to do rude things with male stamens and female flowers

SuperBunny · 08/07/2009 20:31

I didn't get a doughnut but I did have a really good bagel.

FK, I think Molly is in greater need of a chief wiper than you are today

Erm, enjoy your pumpkin sex.

Raspberries, a whole punnet (2)
Juice, lots (1)

FrannyandZooey · 08/07/2009 20:41

i did pumpkin sex a few years ago, it was good
i lit them a cigarette each for afters

what is all this doughnut malarkey?

SuperBunny · 08/07/2009 21:35

No pit for me. I am eating CHERRIES. Organic ones, no less. Not in the same league as molly and her tree but they are delicious

SuperBunny · 08/07/2009 21:37

And because they came from a shop, there was no need to do sex to them.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 08/07/2009 21:41

What's all this about pumpking sex?!

Hope your guts are feeling a bit more robust Moll.

banana
blueberries
melon

Franny's writing book - the gourd sex guide...[snigger]

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 08/07/2009 21:52

Very good Moll

I did try and do something with the whole Happy Days thing, but to no avail. I am lacking in imagination.

FrayedKnot · 08/07/2009 21:58

lolol Moll

I am really excited about the pumpkins. We planted them out the day before we had the last really heavy (unexpected) frost and very nearly lost them.

To see their triffid-like growth spurts now is quite miraculous.

I will try & do photos. Not now though, it;s dark

I was just wondering where Pointy was but she's on hols, right?

mollyroger · 08/07/2009 22:04

monday, gooseberry Hap-pea day, wednesday Thurdsay Hap-pea day, Friday Saturdy Hap-pea days,
The weekend comes,
the vegger mums,
are ready to race to you.

These days are all,
Hap-pea and Free. (Those chickpea Days)
These days are all,
Share them with me. (oh baby)
Goodbye grey sky, hello blue.
There's nothing can hold me when I hold you.
Feels so right, it can't be wrong.
Rockin' and rollin' all week long.

SuperBunny · 08/07/2009 22:28

This is hilarious - FK's still talking all seriously about her miraculous pumpkins and Molly's making jokes about the Gourd Sex Guide and writing excellent happy days titles. It is all very funny.

Guadalupe · 08/07/2009 22:31

I have missed all this Fonz business. They used to call my mother the Fonz.

I still haven't packed, but dh is up North collecting our cooker. I am very excited about it.

I have eaten a lot of fruit but also rather a lot of Magnums. I am pretending they are good for my sore throat, entirely my own fault for singeing my cilia last weekend.

SuperBunny · 08/07/2009 22:46

Guad! We've missed you. Good luck with your move. I should be packing too
