Wow, that's super quick! Congrats! I became eligible to apply yesterday, so I rang up to get an appointment for the NCS today. Plenty of availability in Southwark, but my fiance and I have to give notice to marry also so I wanted to kill two birds with one stone and only trek down there and take the time off work once. And apparently Southwark have lovved up couples coming out their ears, as the first available appointment for the marriage stuff is 15th October... oh well, I've waited since 2002 for this, I can wait a few more weeks...
