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

Mayo, I have the shoes. They are fab and comfy and ok to walk in.

Lol at the gourd sex guide

Apple, juice, raisins, kiwi, salad (inc radishes from garden ) dinner was potato bake (I did exactly what I usually do for pasta bake but we had that last night so I boiled some new potatoes, cut into bite sized chunks and added sauce, chicken, bacon and carrots, soya beans, peas, sweetcorn, onion and mushrooms and it was yummy. Well dd didn't like it. But I did!)

So about 8 portions and over an hour of walking with a few bursts of 2 minute runs.

Hoorah.

(Did anyone notice that I'm going to meet Tiger )

pinkspottywellies · 08/07/2009 22:49

Oh my god guad, are you moving into the new house?! I missed that! Have you sold the other one?

SuperBunny · 08/07/2009 22:58

When are you going to meet Tiger? Will there be cake?

Where's Toot gone?

TooTicky · 08/07/2009 23:06

I went to see Mits today
but I am crap at goodbyes
4 hours to get there, 6 to get back
perhaps I am just crap generally

pinkspottywellies · 08/07/2009 23:10

In a couple of weeks and of course there'll be cake

TooT that's a long way in a day! How's mits? Did you have cake?

TooTicky · 08/07/2009 23:14

No, no cake, but some fab walking and talking.

TooTicky · 09/07/2009 01:26

Insomnia sucks

littlerach · 09/07/2009 08:00

TooT.

But you had a good day, yes?
Glad the directions were of some use!

SB, really not long now.

Guad, why did they call your mum the Fonz???

TooTicky · 09/07/2009 08:08

Very good yes

mollyroger · 09/07/2009 08:10

oh at veggers meeting up. Pink and tiger - we want a blow by blow account of the cake eating

TooT, hope you gave Mits a squeeze from me.

my darling big boy is off to his new secondary school today for 2 days. I am scurrying round with new pencil cases and sniuffing his new pencils, and wondering if his packed lunch is gay and being really nervous

He is furtively stuffing contraband wristbands and necklaces and badges about his person and being Ultra-Cool

TooTicky · 09/07/2009 08:17

Oh Molly, I will go back specially to give her a squeeze from you...

Hope ds has fun!

FrannyandZooey · 09/07/2009 09:08

lol at gay packed lunch, gourd sex guide, pumpkins rubbing hands etc

dead thread today
i have gnorman jr today while the gnormans pack so am going out to park shortly

i am enjoying mn a lot lately but don't seem to have enough time for anything, so may try to knock it on the head for a bit
i know this is a bit half hearted but i am gearing up for it

TigerFeet · 09/07/2009 12:05

Is there cake at the venue? I will bring some if not

Good luck to ds1 Molly, if he has pockets full of contraband then I'm sure he'll be just fine.

Hope Mits is hanging on in there

I have a pumpkin plant in a pot in the garden. Do I need to set about it with a paintbrush? It came from dh's work so the chances are it'll be an onanist and won't require help.

Right I have bastardised everyone's excellent suggestions and come up with

Sunday, Monday, hap-pea days; Tuesday, Wednesday, hap-pea days; Thursday, Friday hap-pea days; Saturday, mango day, vegging all week with you

tra-la-laaaaa

SuperBunny · 09/07/2009 14:23

Tiger, I think you've done it! That should keep everyone happy. Do it, do it!

Guadalupe · 09/07/2009 15:37

Yes, we are moving, Pink! And no we haven't sold our house yet. It is a bloody mess, needs loads of work though a friend of our neighbour has expressed an interest in it and she would be a cash buyer so fingers crossed.

LittleR - I think it was because she had short wavy black hair and wore a leather jacket and jeans in the 80's.

Sb - are you in England yet?

Molly - ds has just done second induction day, he was mightily unimpressed with doing tests most of today, presumably to streamline them. Why they can't use the blasted sats results I don't know. Mixed feelings about high school here so far.

I heard from someone today that you can get packers to come and do it all for you. Marvellous idea. Shame it wouldn't work for me as everything needs sifting first. Right, back to the grind.

FrayedKnot · 09/07/2009 16:33

Guad how exciting!

We had packing the last couple of times we moved. The down side is unless you have a major clear out beforehand, you end up moving lots of crap you could have got rid of, esp from garage etc.

The mighty pumpkin groweth.

Guadalupe · 09/07/2009 17:03

I am surrounded by crap, Fk, PILES and piles of the stuff! I can't imagine anyone being able to pack it for me. I must simply crack on and sort.

My mental picture of my new house does not include piles of papers/books/tat, strangely enough. Therefore some serious culling of stuff must happen.

I am craving japanese. I'm sure they put something in it.

FrayedKnot · 09/07/2009 18:19

DS just had a friend round to play and behaved apallingly. I thought I was going to have to put them in separate rooms at one point. I think the end of term is catching up with us.....

TooTicky · 09/07/2009 18:39

i need a hug

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 09/07/2009 19:09

Good luck with the sorting of assorted crap Guad.

What's up Toot? {{{}}}

TooTicky · 09/07/2009 19:19

I can't post on here about it. But oh fuck. Why are things not simple?

Thanks for the hug.

littlerach · 09/07/2009 19:28
