After my last post about karma, I seem to have not encountered any more 'bad patches'.  My step-dad seems to be getting better, as does Millie my cranky, old cat.  Vince and I have booked our holiday to Goza, flying out on 23rd September for a week and once again I have started a diet, well it is 19 weeks today until the holiday!!

Life seems to have become 'more settled' and I didn't really notice it happen.  Vince and I seem to have fallen into a sort of routine, mainly him staying at mine, going to watch him bowl on a Sunday and meet up with his family.  We've spoken about him moving in and that seems to be on the cards (he currently rents) when he has given notice on his flat.  We've even talked about going away for the next Bank Holiday weekend, well Saturday after his bowls match until Monday, but we can't seem to agree on where to go.  I like the sea, he likes the countryside and it must be within 2 1/2 hour drive from Birmingham to ensure we are 'settled in' before the Eurovision Song Contest starts - Yes he is a fan!!  So if anyone knows of any 'nice' hotels, guest houses within a 2 1/2 hour drive of Birmingham, suitable for a couple who don't particularly want children around - please let me know?
