Since I started working for Corelogic in 2005, I only spent the first year working in the office every day. I lived in London for that year, within walking distance of the office, in a nice, albeit small 1 bed flat. That flat probably cost around the same price as our4 bed semi in Nottinghamshire (and that was years ago). But I digress. Anyway, I didn’t enjoy living in London too much. It’s a nice place to visit, but it will always be there to visit. That doesn’t mean I had to live there. I found it too noisy, expensive and crowded for me. It’s still noisy and crowded, but even more expensive than it used to be. There’s a lot of good things about it, but I am not a particularly outgoing person, and I felt there was a lot of chaos there that you have to put up with day to day. Since I moved back to Notts, I have worked remotely, in various different arrangements, and have been doing that for the last (almost) 9 years.
