Depends which way i go, through town 10 miles, motorway 18 miles. Quicker down the motorway once the road works are removed due to traffic.

I travel about 15 miles to Southampton Centre each day. 40 minutes way there and about 20 way home. Half Term is Bliss at the moment.

used to commute from birmingham to manchester (fully expensed) took anything from an hour and a half to three and a half hours, stuck that out for 9 months, never again.

The 50 mile round trip i now do to Coventry seems like nothing

If job all goes to plan then I'd move closer after I'd settled in there; but not much point in buying a house down there/commiting to a rental if I hate the job

I did a dry run yesterday and it took 1hr 15 without knowing the way (1hr45 came off RAC routeplanner) I reckon it'll be a tad over an hour now

just gotta see if I can get the job now

Jaffa 12hr days arn't that bad; have been doing 15.5hr days for past few weeks
