1st January - paid the £6 (£6!!!!) toll for the Severn Bridge, that in itself is not a new thing, but going through a manned booth is. I don't like face to face contact with strangers so tend to opt for using self-service checkouts and automated machines, hence the coin bins on the toll bridge. Today I went through a manned booth and the lady was nice and I wished her a happy new year.
2nd January - Planned my meals for the week and went shopping (obviously I'm no stranger to shopping but I don't generally plan what I'm eating or buying, tend to just go with the flow. Today, however, I had a list and (another first) bought raw beetroot and a bag of red lentils. oooh, get me! Also did the first day of my new diet.
3rd January - First day back in my nursery placement after Christmas holidays! We had a new starter who was a bit upset when his mum left, but I comforted him and he settled quickly. So maybe that was a first too!
4th January - I ate a lovely meal which I cooked today for the first time. I had grilled aubergine slices with ratatuoille. Sticking to my diet.
5th January - Tried two new recipes today. Aromatic Lamb Flatbreads:Doesn't look exactly like it did in the recipe book, but it tasted delicious. It was also supposed to have pine nuts on top but I couldn't get any! Will definitely try this recipe again!
The second recipe I've tried today is Squash, Beetroot and Goat's Cheese Roast. I haven't eaten it yet, as it's my tea, but so far it looks delicious!
And we're up to date. Over the next few days I am planning to join a class at the gym (for the first time at this gym and the first time in a loooooong time), try some crafts from my new book: Kirsty Allsop Craft, and make a totally natural facemask! Will try to remember to take and upload pictures!
