My sister moved to live in the middle of nowhere, she travels to Inverness to work and loves it.

But then again she left Yorkshire….. so her judgement is questionable!!

:D:D:D:D

It's a lovely place just dear to stay in guesthouses etc in the Summer. Very popular destination.

Good evening,

Just a few replies to the old thread. I'll explain where I have been at the bottom.

"Congratulations.
If you will have to live away from home then the cheapest option would be to find somewhere to live outside of london but on your Route. Sure you will get free trains to and from work and so probably be alot cheaper to live out and travel in daily. Especially if you take into account the tube cost nowadays. Milton Keynes I am sure is on a Virgin route and although commuter heavy will be cheaper. Especially if you could get a shared house type lodging.
V x"

I am currently looking at Milton Keynes, which looks like a viable option. Although VT does stop there the services do not for the early shifts, so I'd have to get the LM trains and buy a season tickets for around £1,000. However, I'm going to keep looking there will be a little gem somewhere, but it is just a case of finding it.

"What you might need is a room in a shared house which you can live in during the working week - sign up with websites like right moves. Also I think its roomshare - put your postcode in and see what is in your required area - might find someone needing a lodger but just weekdays.

If you are commuting into London then some employers give you an interest free loan to pay for your season ticket and you pay for it out of your salary every month. Eldest child went for a full annual season ticket from work to home 45 mins outside of London - this covers her also for tube trips as well in zone 1, 2 etc and also a 1/3 train tickets for her BF.

Which London station are you based at?"


Euston, I have just signed up for the websites you gave me. Thank you. VT does give loans for the ST, which would hopefully mean I could commute in. At the moment though I have found a hotel close to Euston, which I am leaning towards for the first couple of week while I settle in to the working pattern, but once settled I am hoping to move out.

"If its John lewis in Oxford Street you are thinking about have a look at the MSe thread on the freebies section. People on there have been saying the coffee and cake are not free - you have to have a receipt"

Thanks I'll take a look.

"Just looking at who we are list on front page. 3010 is our youngest declared member.

I'm not that good. :rotfl:


Anyway I have been really busy for the last couple of week delivering a campaign for a soft drinks company, so have not had much chance to catch up or report in. The work involved me going around 150 pubs in a postcode area.

To be honest it was a eye opener.

Basically in the kits there was 24 glasses, POS (posters, leaflets) material plus some other bits. All the stuff I gave away was free. Anyway it went quiet well and I managed to merchandise a large number of pubs.

However, the abuse I got from both bar staff and customers trying to give the stuff away for free. :eek: One customer in a pub I very lightly brushed pasted him with the heavy box that I was carrying and I got a torrent of abuse about it being assault and stuff. They then swore at me and walked off. Some of the landlords did not want the kits and yet again I was told to go away (in the way that ended in off). Then had to try and ask for comments why they did not want it and a signature.

All that just to give them free stuff. :mad: At least I don't have to do it again. None of you would have refused the freebies. :rotfl:

Omg.. taking turns or who's round is it!!!

Been stuck with that so many times.
Never wanted to seem mean, but you slowly realise who doesn't take their turn:mad:
Need to be strong and set your stall out first .. ie we are sharing or, i'll just buy my own.

I've never understood people who don't pay their share/ buy their rounds.
I'm not rich but would feel so embarrased not to pay my way.
I remember meeting up with some friends on holiday many years ago and when we went out for a meal we split the bill for food four ways between us. I am veggie so mine was by far the cheapest but I still paid a quarter.
The next day one of my friends told me that one of the others hadn't paid her share ONCE in the whole week. It was only when I arrived and started putting in my share that she also started to cough up.
Are these people just blatant blaggers or are they used to being "kept"? :eek:
