On Sunday I'm away on holiday and to be honest I've real mixed feelings about it, sure I'm looking forward to what looks like a exciting trip starting in Phoenix and ending in Vegas. However I'm also feeling guilty that I'm going on a singles holiday and leaving Paula and will definately miss her. Trouble is I booked this trip before we met, wish I hadn't in hindsight.
Reckon our relationship is going great, we are spending a lot of time together especially at weekends. Friday night Paula took me to a wedding do of one of her work colleagues then Saturday we had a drive out to the coast (sunny Scarborough) which was nice.
Then we spent Saturday evening cuddled up watching a DVD with a bottle of wine. Sunday went had a nice Pub lunch before I went home to sort a few things out for my Dad.
Spent most of Bank holiday Monday together actually had a ride out to Knaersborough which was nice. Tonight I'm off to York to see her again, she is taking me to a charity event organised by her loal darts league, should be good.
We are planning things to do together in the future sort of looking at weekends and holidays so everything is looking very positive, long may it last.
On another note its good to see one of my old blog friends Rebecca return to blog world although I can't seem to post omments on her blog. Check her blog out - http://shoppingspecialist.blogspot.com/

Age Question
Just wondered what everyone thinks is a ok age gap to date someone (thats older and younger) ?
The reason I ask is there is a bit of a age gap with Paula and myself but I'll add we are getting on great and it doesn't seem like a problem. I'm just surprised its actually happend.
A couple more questions along the same line -
whats the biggest age gap to someone older that you've dated ?
whats the biggest age gap to someone younger that you've dated ?

Still here
Hi everyone just reporting that I'm still here and reading your posts.
The funeral went as well as funerals do, I actually spoke during the service which was something I wanted to do. People said I did well but thats probably them been kind. I'll miss Mum but the sadness does have a bit of relief attatched because she as suffered with a lot of pain in recent years and from things she said I believe she was ready to go.
Things are still going very well with Paula and we are sort of mapping out plans for the rest of the year, planning a few weekends away and a couple of holidays. Off through tonight to see her for a few hours then we'll be spending most of the weekend together.
Weight loss ain't been good as I reported previously, not only with the funeral we've ate out at restaurants and Pubs and not really been counting the calories. So I've abandoned plans and will make a new start following my holiday in mid June.
Actually feel a bit guilty about going on a singles holiday (ash cloud permitting) now I'm dating Paula but I did book it before we met and she's cool about it, think I'll miss her while away.

Weigh in Wednesday cancelled for now
With all thats going on I reckon its sensible to put my weight loss plans on ice until after my upcoming holiday. To be honest since Mum passed away I've not really exercised and been eating at strange times, there seems so much to sort out. Reckon things wont get anywhere near normal until after Fridays funeral.
My origional plan was to have a consoladation period anyway so I'm just reverting to plan "A".
The other big thing in my life is that I'm at the start of a new relationship and without temping fate reckon things are going quite well (ok its only a month). One thing Paula likes doing when alone in her room is writing poetry just for herself, mainly about things in her life. She wrote one the other day about meeting me, it was so sweet and gave me a real warm feeling inside.
Anyway thats all for today.

Weigh in Wednesday - Back in the swing
Only one pound lost but reckon I'm just getting back in the swing and any loss is good, obviously it keeps me inside my target which is good. Also feel really motivated to keep this going, I'm so positive.
Here are the facts :-
Start Weight (9th Nov) - 238lb
Weight last week - 214lb
Weight Today - 213lb
Gain/Loss this week - -1lb
Gain/Loss from start - -25lb
Todays Target - 214lb
+/- Target - -1lb
Down in Bristol this weekend playing TT in the Veterans National League, its the decidng weekend and we are currently 2nd in our division so are hopeful for promotion, ould even win it who knows. Need to play well though as we have 5 tough team matches to negotiate but nothing is impossible. My new lady friend is coming with me so I'm sure to be inspired.
For those interested here is a link to my Mallorca holiday photos :-
