I'm finding writing this diary quite theraputic! It's something I look forward to doing at the end of the day, and it'll help me look back and see what I have done for myself and with my family!
Today we went to a friends for tea in the morning, and then to a coffee morning held in the local church hall that hold it for parents of young children. It's quite nice and I've made a few friends through it, one who I now see about 3 times a week!
This afternoon I met up with a friend and we went for a walk. It started drizzling, so we put the raincovers on the buggies and kept on walking, and what do you know, 10 minutes later it stopped and we carried on walking. In total we walked for about 2 and a half hours. It was great to have a good long chat! So it wasn't as fast as I normally walk, but I think it is still good exercise, especially as quite a lot of it was up and down hills.
I'm really enjoying my walking, it helps me clear my mind and relax, as sometimes it is quite busy having two little ones, one who has learnt the word "no" and now loves to do what she wants to do, and a baby who has started teething and is quite grumpy with it! I strap her in the baby carrier and she falls asleep pretty instantly! She slept for 2 hours of the walk, and the other half hour or so she was just having a look around. My toddler loved our walk today, she had a nap at lunchtime, so ate her lunch in the buggy (all of it for a change!) and was looking around at all the trees, wood, birds, dogs, etc etc etc!
Tomorrow should be busy too, out to a playgroup, then off to my Mums for the afternoon and tea, I've already asked what we are having so that I can plan my day and syns round it! We having sausages (9 syns for 2), mash potato, mashed with milk (HexA) and baked beans (free).
Today I've been good, had a banana for breakfast, WM pitta (HexB) with cheese (HexA), salad cream (1.5 syns), salad. Tea was chicken and vegetable, with a mashed potato topping (mashed with Quark) - 7.5 syns for the pie. I had a sugar in a coffee (1 syn) and a rich tea biscuit (0.5 syn).
So a good day!
