I have just moved into my new flat and got a new job - a movement from a bank to a university. I could not bear living with my parents anymore, who hate each other but like the fact that they can complain about this....continuously. My dad wants to go back to his country of origin and live with all his relatives but my mum worries that he will squander all his money on them. They are both retired and do not have too much to do.
I broke up with a man (apparently) 6 months ago. He was a bit of a prat and left me because he wanted someone who was slimmer. We have not spoken until recently when I sent him a text asking for my guitar back(which he had borrowed from me). I admit that this was only so I could speak to him, probably a very stupid thing to do but I am a typical self-esteemless woman. However it was extremely satisfying being able to tell him of all the changes in my life where not much has changed in his. He asked me when he could see my new flat I said...in a couple of months. Am rather proud that I didn't fall for this ploy of his but can't help wondering what he wants. Neither of us has asked the other if they are seeing someone, I would never ask this and I suppose he hasn't done so because it may seem he is interested otherwise.
Anyway more about him later, I have since been eating like a donkey and put on a stone and a half. I am starting my diet tomorrow and have promised myself that I will find places to walk to after work in order to shift all the fat that has built up in my singledom. I have recently started seeing someone else who is not exactly my dream man. He is attractive and 6'3'' which is nice but seems to have a personality deficiency of some kind. Having shown frustration over this, he has informed me that this is due to him to him spending weeks at a time in hospital due to severe asthma and strong medication, I must say I'm not sure if I believe this little titbit of information. Anyway, I have considered ending things with him but find it hard as he does little sweet things that make me want to hang in there and change him 
Probably not wise.
He does all the chivalrous things one would wish from a man. Opens doors, insists on paying for everything and worries about me wandering the streets alone. We have better conversations when we're typing to each other as he acts like less of an idiot. He is in fact intelligent but if you were to speak to him, you would think he was from a different planet....and not in a good way. He's the sort of person whose head you want to get into, briefly. More about him later.
