Eat fruit and vegetables - 10/10 thread BOOTCAMP, all welcome

[SuperBunny]

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

Hi Fran, how very odd, the last time i think i did any MN lurking i remember reading that thread!

FK - just made marrow soup. It was so successful that I am scrabbling around frantically for delivery menus. Shit it was. Only place for marrow is the compost heap.

Do people really search to see who's looked for them?

Marrows are made for compost. And sex, apparently. But not for eating.

i don't expect normal people do searching, no
it is useful though because you can see where people have asked questions and stalked you like a big loon
i know some other people who do it so am not only big head

anyway sorry, i was going to put other things earlier but then the boys went a bit wild and i was called away
tiger how exciting this time is
looking forward to hearing news
sweeps are great, i think they work very well
going long overdue is pretty gruesome but it will all be forgotten about in a week or so

i am fine but chasing my tail
did guad appear
did she move

i saw cod briefly

and was very sad to hear about trinity - how is she now, do you know?

i can't think of any news
we went camping and a goat bit me
ds2 can say 'dog' and 'bird' but my mum had the temerity to say they sounded the same
when one is clearly "gogger" and one is the very different "girgir"
i think she needs a hearing aid probably
anyway good night, i am very tired, good night, i hope you all sleep well and eat lots of fruit for breakfast

p.s. boco THANK YOU and sorry i let you down by being a big show off after all

d'you know,I was going tosay that,but I thought it might be tactless

p.p.s i lost a stone
i don't think we are meant to talk about losing weight so i shall whisper it

welli put weight on and amfat sothere,it must be all the cider

Guad didmove and has been seen since

Dd2 collects stones,she may be able tofind you a suitable replacement

godyes,if there is no fucker upbut me then goto bed,the company is shit

Well done Franny, a stone is a lot. If you could lose one for me, i'd be very grateful.

TooT, I have no tact. None at all.

Is it bad that I haven't really invited anyone to DS birthday party? There will be little boy from our road, and my sister's DP's family (his parents, sister, & his 8 yr old nephew) and maybe the upstairs neighbour. And I have no plans other than to stick a sandbox in the garden. [crap party emoticon]

Amsure ds willenjoy it sofine.
I hate parties [anti-socialgrump]

god i go to all lengths to avoid organising parties for the dcs show me an all inclusive soft play crap fest and i will pay throuh the nose for it, no problem

only thing is then some parents stay and i ahve to talk to them

see i am cheerful and nice and friendly, honest

think am catching dd2s cold

does anyone know what nursery policy is on cold sores? dd2 is now sprouting one to add to her woes and i don't know if i will be strung up if i end her

gosh i am cheerful today.

nctarine
raspberries
strawberries
courgette cake

Toot - you oucld put on the weight of a whole other person and still be elfin like!

Franny - well done

LR - i hav figured out where you are does it begin with T...? [stalker emoticon]

SB - have you reovered from oink flu lovey? take it easy, even if you feel ok, flu really takes it out of you.

TF - a sweep is not exactly comfortable and dignified, but then what is about giving birth eh?! good luck

salutations to everybody else - my friend told me marrow soup was lush - you need garlic though?

send her. i 'm not that bad, really

Mayor - it had TWO WHOLE bulbs of roasted garlic in it!

Franny, well done on the stone..

I believe Trinity is as you would expect but a thread was started to get some scottish MNers to visit and help her through what must be a devastating time, and I am sure she posted on a little.

hello! I missed franny

I haven't abandoned you lot, just in a very odd place at the moment.Any of you are welcome to make me friends on fb or email me or whatevr for chats, it's just I am too poor in spirit and pocket to focus on buying 10 portions of f&V per day. I probably am eating very well and healthily but....
Love you all!

TF, particularly wishing you lots and lots of luck and a nice easy labour x

Molly

mayor, almost right, between T and W.

Hi Moll. Take care love, hope to see you around soon.

TF hasn't been on today yet

Os - Nigel Slater did a marrow recipe on his show the other week and he keeps promoting www.bbc.co.uk/digin, so it may be on there.

You made me laugh with Boom boom boom, let me hear ya say way-ho, way-ho

It should be Boom boom boom, let me hear ya say mar-row, mar-row.

Molly....hi ...

evening

listen...is it the sound of a nightingale? the harmonious vocals of heavenly choir? the soaring notes of a castrata?

no. its dd1 having yet another strop. AIBU in expecting her to manage to go for a whole day without having one? whoops wrong thread

add tomatoes to the list. pizza for tea. hommade [smug]

amprob free in the middleish of monday ish

have to be back for 1.30 to pick up dd from nursry?

What happened to Trinity?

I have eaten nothing but Maoam and crisps today. It was inevitable. But car is now fixed.

I saw that recipe on Nigel t'other day, thought if he cooked it, yes prob tasty, if I cooked it.. probably a bit... meh.

Offski to set up festival stall where doubtless there will be more Maoam and crisp consumption.
