I've successfully used spareroom 4 times now. Three times during a contract in Herts (rents £330 to £400) - lovely rooms and friendly people. I've now got a lovely old one bed cottage on a Mon-Fri basis (the landlady comes round at weekends to tidy and water plants) for £80 a week just south of Bradford (all in).....back of the net!Formerly Sausage Surprise but forgot password on account that had email address from old gig
