rock bus 854 Posted September 18, 2023 Bit of a long shot but wondered if anyone can help with any advice. My daughter has just qualified as a mid wife at UEA and is to stay in the area and work at St James Paget. Like many young people she is struggling to find a decent place for reasonable money (on her own, NHS wages!). She hoped for something near Norwich (so easier for boyfriend to find work in the city) but right side to make travel to the hospital easier but really struggling. Think she will now need to look more closer to Hospital (talking Yarmouth - but recent thread about there has terrified me!). Anyone have any advice on where she could look? (or even better know of any where available!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only been there once and it looks a nice small town and near some cracking beaches. I'm sure it is/was @hogesar's home town so you may get a better idea from him.

Pockthorpe 533 Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I used to do a lot of work on the Somerleyton Hall Estate , near Yarmouth/Lowestoft . They have a lot of rental properties and I remember many of the tenants worked at the Paget . I wish your daughter the best Rock Bus . My youngest is now off to London , rents there are ridiculous. I’ll help as much as I can , but how did it ever come to this ? Bonkers . Edited September 23, 2023 by Pockthorpe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you thought about somewhere like the British Heart Foundation for furniture? It's not tatty old crap nowadays and could be ok for a couple of years and then gradually replace with new 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
