    I am hoping to go lower, and house swap next year. I am not sure it will work but I'll give it a lash.

      Is "best" the right word to use?

        I'm just starting to rent a flat in London - I've been at the same client for 2+ years so I'm declaring it as a BIK. Much better than a 4 hour round trip commute which I've been doing for a while now.
        ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

            It was nicer than some places that have cost £75 a night.
            I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

              I stay in a hotel for first couple of nights, check out the local supermarkets and post office/paper shop for adverts. Find some lonely old widow who lets her sons room out for 60 - 70 quid a week.

              works for me

                Depends on the area, but often times I'll sort out a long term deal with a B&B. It's like having a serviced apartment, but it's tax deductible...

                    Do you have a penchant for lonely old widows then?

                      Lonely old widows can be great fun. Especially if they're on the hunt for someone to look after their shy-on-the-shelf-30ish-daughter, who gets a bit wild after a babysham. Erm, allegedly.
