Originally posted by sofaofthedamned View PostHi all
Apologies if this has been done before, but here goes:
I live in Cheltenham and have a (perm) offer for a job in Birmingham. Seeing them tomorrow to finalise it and the skills are perfect for my CV but it's a small company and I think the sticking point will be me wanting to have a day working from home - I find the larger companies tend to be happier with this than the smaller ones.
I'm not spending 3 1/2 hours 5 days a week in a car for a perm job, so if they insist i'll turn it down. As i've been off for 4 months i'll just wait til after NY and go for contracts in London. Don't mind being away from home as long as i'm earning a decent amount and I can cry myself to sleep at night whilst doing certifications / watching youporn.
So, my questions:
1. Are there any accommodation option in/near London apart from hotels? I don't care about a caravan on a park with a shower as it's the means to an end and probably only a few months. Narrowboat, anything - does anybody have any experience of this sort of thing? Or are there decent hotels for 4 nights a week with reasonable rates?
2. I'll probably need to set up a ltd co or umbrella quickly - any links on here or elsewhere or advice? I'm not bothered about squeezing the last bit of tax out, just want it straightforward.
Thanks for any help - last time I was contracting was before Y2K, so i'm a bit rusty...Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Do they have HotelF1 or equivalent in London?
The rates are very low and I always managed to get a good discount by doing favours for the chambermaidsComment
