Dating London one man at a time

Doom to Delight

I am feeling faintly foolish, but happy. Tall Tom emailed this afternoon, explaining that he’s been working 18 hour days this week and apologising that this has meant our communication’s been a bit off [LG feels v.guilty at this point for having had such negative thoughts].

Tom then went on to say he’s really looking forward to seeing me tomorrow and asked if I’d like to stay over on Sunday night too to make up for not having caught up this week. [LG grins like a loon at this point at the prospect of so much time with him].

Tom is officially a very good bloke.

LG is officially a panic merchant.

Ooops.

I’m off out with Married Mum tonight - this will be the toughest test yet of my no-booze-in-January resolve.

    Some people are just really crap on the phone, I know I am. I hate talking to anyone on the phone except my best mate who I can natter away with for hours.

    Anyway, have fun this weekend!

    Love that feeling of relief after a first-few-weeks-panic. He sounds like a good bloke, enjoy your weekend with him!

    thank god Tom came through in the end; your neurotic phase was sending everyone [well almost everyone] in to a spin!

    enjoy the weekend, and the no booze in January [bloody stupid resolution me thinks]
