Well the boyfriend got his job at Sega and he started this week with two training sessions. It's been very strange being in his house without him around...i've not liked it much but i am glad that he's enjoying his new work.
On Monday he starts work properly with the first of his nights shift...i'm going to struggle to sleep without him but it is a nice thought that he'll be back around 10am to creep back into bed with me!
Oh well, now that he has this job he has been thinking a lot harder about our relationship and he's decided that he would like us both to move to London...that way instead of spending £100 a week commuting he can put that money towards rent. So yesterday i started my own job search and also did a bit of searching around for flats. We have quite a good budget between us so i don't think that will be the hard part...finding me a job might take a lot longer though!
I'm thinking very positively though. Someone is bound to give me a job eventually plus i feel very happy about where our relationship is going. It's lovely to know that someone wants to be with me so badly!

London's Calling...
I am currently sat in a hotel in London typing this...ahhh...it's sooooo nice to be here again!
I must say that secretly i do love London. OK, the people can be frustratingly rude on occasions and all public transport is an absolute hellish nightmare where you feel like rats travelling through sewers...but apart from that it really is a beautiful place to be and one i would recommend visiting.
The reason why i am currently here is because my boyfriend has a job interview at Sega Europe tomorrow and instead of a mad dash tomorrow morning to try and make it we decided that it would be so much easier to have a lazy day sight seeing and then reside here for the night...it was definitely a good choice!
To be honest i was not happy at all this morning though. I do not like this job that he has gone for. OK, it would be a great step into the games industry for him but unfortunately it's mostly night shift work for 4 days a week...he can't afford to live here just yet so he will have to commute and i believe it will just leave him too exhausted to do anything. I've never trusted night work...i really don't think it's good for the body at all. But nevermind, it's up to him so i'm trying to stay silent about it all and positive for him.
Either way i have ended up having a lovely day. I love sight seeing...even if i've done it all before! I've taken some pictures on my iPhone and they're not the greatest (understatement...they're pretty rubbish!) but i'm going to put them up on here anyways. I've had a fun day and what to share my sight seeing with everyone else!
Horse fountain in Picadilly Circus
Houses of Parliament
Lion statue by Nelsons Column
Nelson's Column
The London Eye
Buckingham Palace
Statue outside Buckingham Palace
Statue of Queen Victoria outside Buckingham Palace (not that you can really tell)

Krispy Kremes...
Chris Rock is very right about Krispy Kremes...they really should change their slogan to 'So good you'll suck a dick'.
Being from the sticks up North and seemingly away from all of Western civilisation i had never experienced Krispy Kremes before so yesterday the boyfriend took me to one in his city and we ended up buying a box of 12 assorted doughnuts.
You've probably seen my previous post and are now wondering what happened to me wanting to lose weight...well...i honestly have no excuse. I know this. I am bad. I don't even know where my resolve went - i just saw them all and literally started drooling. I couldn't help myself.
At first i thought that i might be able to resist but stupidly i decided to have a test of one of their freebie pieces...and well...after that i think i was just in sugar heaven.
So yeah...that was yesterday and now we only have 2 left...
My poor abused body...
The 12 assorted doughnuts we picked...

Ballooning with Love!
Well i am having a fantastic time here with boyfriend...i still have 2 weeks left which i'm very happy about!
Unfortunately, despite managing to drop a few pounds during my time in Cornwall (don't ask me how...i think it was all that walking because God knows i stuffed my face with everything going!) i seem to be gaining weight now faster than ever!
It's really hard when you're so comfortable with someone to lose weight and be on a healthy diet. My boyfriend can eat for England...all day everyday, and so whenever i see him eating something i always feel hungry myself and end up eating nearly the same amount! It is so bad right now i feel like i'm about 5 months pregnant...it's ridiculous!
Trouble is i don't want to go on the Wii Fit because i'm embarrassed of being on it whenever he's around because i do not want him seeing me wobbling about trying to hula hoop the weight off!
I guess i'm going to have to dig up some severe self control from somewhere and desperately try and stick to it before i end up going home after gaining a stone!!!
