I am in a sort of similar situation, being a Linux guy with 12 years experience and living in North Yorkshire. I end up, 90% of the time, working away from home. I have found that spareroom.co.UK is a good resource, especially if you are sociable. My current digs are near Cambridge, and I love them!

Lodgings - depending how sociable I feel I choose someone who works at night or not.

I hear the Travelodge in Bridgewater is the place to be

Welcome to the forum

Me I slum it purely because I go home weekends and on the other side of the coin I try to keep accommodation costs to a minimum as all I need is a place to sleep, prepare some food and internet access and I'm pretty much happy.

Mon - Fri domestic arrangements

Hi all. Introducing myself as a jobbing SQL dev from Card in Somerset.

As you can imagine, I struggle to source jobs locally so I spend most of my time flitting between here and the south coast/ Swindon and such like. Well, I've just secured a new role in Southampton and Ive decided to be a little bit more gung-Ho financially with respect to my accommodation arrangements.

You see, I've had enough of packing a little suitcase every Sunday night to be holed up in some little guest house for the next 5 days.

So I've splashed out on a lovely little woodland loggia in the new forest. All self contained and I've rented it for the duration. It ain't cheap but it will certainly buy me some peace of mind.

Should be an inneresting 3 months. Just wondering if any of you take a similar approach or do you just slum it?
