Shame about the Waterstone's job, but that other one sounds perfect! And so close so you don't need transport! Great!

Also I agree that I don't think doing web design and journalism is a bad idea. I think it's good! And I think that's great way to do it, too. (And going into freelancing with your friend sounds like a good idea, too, and it's a way to get some experience under your belt)/

I wish you so, so much good luck!
