I can realistically get a train down that evening, pretty much as soon as I finish work. Or convince the boss to let me off an hour early.

Oxford Circus you say? Interesting... incidentally, any ideas for crash space?

Me and Miss Wonderlust did a test run there last night after a chat with the YG bar staff.
Hopefully Miss WL Gazzed Becks today to suggest the venue change.
It's an OK venue for big events but I like the YG for smaller ones more.

Is confuzzed! It's worked for me for about 48 hours.
The other option is a proper champagne stopper with the foldy down bits that grip the neck properly, if you use a normal wine stopper it tends to blow off in the fridge overnight as it doesn't grip enough to keep the bubbly delicousness in!

Mista, I DO has a job! It's in the local chemist, and it's perfect and I am lucky. It's nearby (and as I live out in the sticks that's a huge advantage), I will get trained to NVQ level 3 in selling drugs (!), my colleagues are all brilliant, and the shop itself is absolutely lully.
It's a listed building with curved doors and dark wooden shelves, and has had the same customers for 80 years or so! Most of them are real characters.
And I get a staff discount at Boots just in time for Christmas shopping, which is the most important thing as far as my mum's concerned!

It's funny, I've only worked three days and already I have a "pharmacy assistant" head on.
My mum has just come down with a cold and I was talking to her on the phone...
I asked her "so, you're congested, do you have a cough too? is it productive? sore throat? headache? aches and pains? has it got to your sinuses? are you taking any other medication?"
and I knew exactly which thing to get for her (using my staff discount, haha!)
And already I have learned that you develop quite a peculiar sense of humour when you have people describing their symptoms to you all day...
