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

Am loving the name FK, not crusty at all.

I hope you have ungritted Moll. Situations like that make me FURIOUS.

It is 9.30 so TF should now be bouncing on her ball thinking of a flower opening.

I've just watched Strictly and now I'm watching Daniel Craig. Life don't get much better than that

Lovely new names.

Hope Tiger is ok.

Those of you on FB, can you please have a look at my new photo - have been working on it for HOURS and am knackered and no-one is here to appreciate it

ILikeToQuickstepItTangoIt · 20/09/2009 17:59

Moll, I can be masterful when I need to be

Good luck to your dh, I have everything crossed for him x

I do think TF is squeezing that baby out you know

Hope you feel better soon Pink. Looking after kids when you feel ill is shite.

Team Lemur went to Melford Hall today. The building is dreamy and they had some original Beatrix Potter sketches in there (she was a relative of the family who owned the property). I've never been into BP, but it was really amazing seeing some of her sketches, they are beautiful.

SomeOtherStupidBitch · 20/09/2009 18:53

Does it get much worse than this?
Name actually v apt.

Sorry you have been poorly Pink.

Good luck to the Mollies.

Love to all xx
