    Are you day commuting or staying over?

    I used to stay in the Best Western or the Park Inn - Negotiated around £40 a night at the BW. The National Water Sports Centre also has Travelodge type rooms which is a quirky place to stay with a cracking gym.
    Try and avoid being on that side of the city. With the Clifton Bridge closed driving in on the A52 or related routes is a nightmare atm.

    Undecided yet. It's 2.5 hour commute by train each way which lends itself towards staying over but, with only being 2.5 hours away from my own bed, I'm likely to commute until I get fed up. There's opportunity for remote working so, once I'm in and settled, I'll be able to figure out a balance.

    Annoyingly, I can't find an early enough train. I like to be in and started by 8 am but it seems the earliest train gets in at about 0810.

    And I bet after the freezer is full I end up doing the mundane bedding and sock washing too.

    I bet the only excitement is watching NLUK is the car outside....

    Oi! I resemble that accusation!

    Definitely the latter. I'm not very quick on the uptake

    A nice top up on my current rate.

    Outside IR35.

    Have to break the news to current ClientCo on Monday morning to confirm my exit date.

    Nottingham. Never been, will I survive?
    Oh, alright then. Well done. Happy now?
