As she skipped out of the offie clutching a plastic carrier bag containing cans of Tennents Extra and White Lightening, Stacey hoped it was going to be a good night. Party at Jack’s– his mum was away for the weekend and it was always a good venue. His house is far enough away from any neighbours so they could make as much noise as they liked, and it was nice not to get hassled. She hated the thought of waking up someone’s baby. She knew how difficult it could be to get them back to sleep.
Stacey was bringing the booze and although she’d wanted to get something a bit more classy - she likely Smirnoff Ice - she couldn’t afford to buy too many. Tonight she was determined to get wasted, it had been a difficult week. Her mate, Amelia ... well, she said she could get hold of something a bit more exciting.
Stacey needed cheering up. She’d submitted her umpteenth job application today, and she didn’t hold out much hope. She knew she’d be lucky if she even got a rejection letter. Usually she heard nothing which was cruel really because it meant her hope held out for weeks. For the first time in ages her mum was able to babysit and, ever the optimist, Stacey was sure it was going to be a good night - she’d make sure she’d forget all her problems.

Daily Outraged Middle England
Unemployed mother-of-one Stacey Kelly, 21, from a rough old Nottingham housing estate dies after using legal high GBL, a Class C drug. The ‘legal high’ can damage the kidneys, liver and stomach lining and lead to psychosis.
A young woman and two young men were found unconscious at the address and were taken to hospital for emergency treatment. Police are investigating claims the friends may have taken the deadly dance club drug GBL an industrial cleaner usually used in cleaning products, solvents and paints. It is not illegal to buy GBL for cleaning use, but it is classed as a Class C drug if sold for consumption.
