Hi Jay welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about that. Not from the London myself, so can't help on that front. Hope you find something when you get back to the UK.

Best of luck

Two points I should like to make:

1. I'm truly sorry to learn of your loss. You mention losing "all" :cwm24: (presumably your house and/or possessions). Were your valuables [adequately] covered by insurance? Maybe of course, the policy(ies) *excluded damage by 'Natural Forces' ... or so-called "Acts of God" ... into which *category, destruction by the likes of typhoons might-well fit.

2. I can appreciate the need to find a job, in order to support your wife and daughter. :Erm: But MUST it be in the London area? I mean, despite the recession affecting the UK generally, there are surely SOME types of work to be had in places other than the Capital ... though I suppose a lot depends upon the skills/qualifications you have, and how closely they match what is available.

Hard to get good insurance in the Phils Arthur most people don't even think about it, terrible shame to be honest.

We have no insurance just now but our house is rented and although the storms cost us maybe 20,000 peso in clean up and replacing some items we were lucky as we had an upstairs and the teenagers in the family came round and helped move a lot of stuff before the waters got too high, good insurance is expensive over there!

Good luck Jay sorry to hear about your loss hope it works out for you when you get here!

Dont think your have any luck finding work, what is available is taken by poles and other nationalities. Its very expensive to live here , and once you take the cost of flights etc, and accomodation, you might be seriously out of pocket....just budget before you leave, because there are a lot of people on the dole.. oh and of course dont forget you will also have to pay NIS and UK TAX !!!!!!!!!!

Jay was asking a simple question - are there any bedspacers in London, thats all - he didn't ask for a lecture or anything like that, so chill out.
