In my desperation over my current employment situation, mum came up with a totally unexpected, and much appreciated, act of kindness. I now have the funding I need to start searching for another job, without worrying about the financial implications of leaving my current one.

First stop, buy a suit, and more importantly, convince my co-workers that I'm only attempting to smarten myself up.

Er, yeah… This could be more difficult than I thought.

Since the Easter break, I've noticed two changes in my journey to work.

Firstly, the annoying on-train announcements have reduced to those identifying the train and next station. Apparently South West Trains eradicated their problem with beggars over the Easter weekend, no longer see unattended articles as an issue and plan to do no more weekend engineering work. If it weren't for the other passengers, my journey would be incredibly peaceful.

Secondly, since they did works on the track over the weekend, the stretch between Clapham Junction and Vauxhall has become much more bumpy. A problem when this tends to be where you do your mascara!
