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

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

Good name TooT but I'm sorry about your voice

Tiger, ordinarily, I'd say no you can't take 2 cars to Ikea but I think you have little choice.

Took DS to a bbq at my sis's boyfriend's sister's house and when the host shouted at her 7 yr old, DS went up and said, "Excuse me but I don;t think it was very nice to shout at X because now he feels sad and I think you're a bit rude"

Obviously I apologised profusely but .

TheTooTWhisperer · 30/08/2009 09:02

Thanks Mayor xx

I go to your town at least once a week. My dd1 clog dances there and I have a friend there.

Currently eating muesli and apple in bed and feeling sorry for self.

I need to get a proper job.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 30/08/2009 11:33

You do have a proper job Toot. Do you feel like you want to get into the world of paid employment? I fret everytime I think about returning to work - eventually. In the dim and distant future.

Clog dancing - cool!

DH was working on our extension yesterday and we were umming and ahhing over having an en-suite in our room or a bigger bedroom. I stamped my feet and insisted on an ensuite. I know it sounds all very spoilt brat like, but I wanted a me me me room. That ensuite will be mine. No one will be allowed to poo in it apart from me! It will be my haven. I fantasise about how I will decorate it.

How are you doing FK?

lol at Bunny's ds. That really made me chuckle

Now off to Cambridge. Of course I will be eating copious amount of f&v. No I will not be having a burger at GBK. No. No I won't.

MayorNaze · 30/08/2009 11:58

oh gosh proper jobs are v overrated. i quake in my boots at the thought of getting one.

i toyed with clog dancing! but i don't really have time

any time you fancy a cuppa toot??

my own loo just for me to poo in. lets just take a moment to comtemplate that...aaaah always loo paper and no crappy copies of mens health shoved down the side...

TheTooTWhisperer · 30/08/2009 12:35

I would like my own loo. One that flushes without having to fiddle about inside the cistern. And I HATE sitting on a pre-warmed seat

Will have to do something about a job. I can't do anything though so it is very disheartening.

Love to Mayor
Am actually just considering thesainsbury's in your town for the elusive bits of school uniform that nobody else seems to sell.

I want my voice back. Whispering is tiring. Am pointing and writing now.

TigerFeet · 30/08/2009 16:42

at the thought of one's very own throne. I'm with you TooT about pre-warmed seats... eeewwww... dh had a car once that had heated seats, I used to hate having them switched on because it reminded me of exactly that .

I am not missing my Proper Job at all. I thought I might, I work with nice people in a good atmosphere but as it turns out I rather like being at home.

I have serious cake/choc cravings today which I'm attempting to fend off with fruit. So far I've had three nectarines and two good handfuls of grapes. It ain't working. The ice cream van should be round shortly...

Hello FK Hope RL is being kind

littlerach · 30/08/2009 17:27

Well now i know where you are Mayor
You can meet TooT and I for tea and coffe if you like oh and sometimes TooT does a bit of swooning too!!!

we went to my mum's for a BBQ but it rained so we squashed inside.
Sweetcorn
pepper
salad
tomatoes
raisins

who was that stranger?

BBBee · 31/08/2009 09:42

hello!

how are you crazy fruity bitches?

oh it must be a whizzing in and out day! I see Franny was here!

Summer hectic but fun - lots of stuff. Got bit sad when spending lots of time with happy people in functioning relationships but also got lots of pleasure from those small children of mine being bonkers.

Back to school, work etc. on wednesday - not looking forward to do it.

also forgot to write my thesis - damn.

I did get to spend a wonderful few hours with the divine boco who i adore much.

Hope you are all good and sparkly and healthy!

BBBee · 31/08/2009 09:46

oh and thiswww.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/816453-I-borrowed-an-evening-dress-from-someone-I-don-39

is me in a namechangearama - just incase person who owns dress recognised me (caffine paranoia!) but don't feel obliged to come and advise unless you think I am a horrid bitch and know about dry cleaning. You could come and throw abuse - that would be funny.

I have had a skimmy skim and boco filled me in - i got in a headspin at daily mail TBH and lost concerntration.

Oh and aren't Boco's pics in newbook fabulousolosoio.

BBBee · 31/08/2009 09:47

i god - i have forgotten how to do links - what a motherfuckingtwat i am.

forgive me.

BBBee · 31/08/2009 09:48

(we do still swear on here don;t we? if not sorry for that too)

littlerach · 31/08/2009 12:04

Hi BBBeee
Bad luck with the dress, hope it gets sorted out!
Of course we all fuckin swear - it wouldn't be 10/10 wothout the profainity.

MayorNaze · 31/08/2009 13:55

only mushrooms today so far, oh and orange juice. dh cooked a fry up yum yum. but come wed they will all be back at school and i can be proper healthy and exercise!

can one put broad beans in over the winter does anyone know? i think my pumpkins possibly weren't pumpkins they are growing away but look more like round courgettes most peculair...

TigerFeet · 31/08/2009 17:03

Are they some other sort of squash perhaps Mayor? We've given up with our pumpkins. The little pumpkins kept falling off (possibly aided by curious 5yo hands).

Franny and BBBeee hello lovelies

I managed 10 f&v yesterday . Where's Pink? I want a sticker

Today less successful.

Nectarines x 2
OJ

C'est tout.
