you'll be fine, my eldest lad use's a van all the time so he can pocket his over night money and him and his mates just find a layby or summat. That said thought i have built a bed and cabinets in the back of it and it has spray foam insulation, LED telly etc in the back. Just buy a descent sleeping bag and a piece of 50mm kingspan to kip on. (y)

You have to be careful in Hostels. When we stayed in one @Nisus had to sleep with both eyes open for fear of Mancunian penetration. :eek: Apparently I slept like a (snoring) baby. :D

My mums a Mayo woman, Louisburgh, my dads Leitrim, Ballinamore. I'm a Meath man, Enfield. I'm living in Ilford but I'm pissed at the moment. X2. I wouldn't waste your money on a course lodan, plastering is dying on its legs. It's all Eastern Europe at the mo, including my mrs. I work on my own most of the time and choose to do about 3 days a week but could occasionally bring u with me to see how s**t it is. Telling u now, I'd rather be a painter. This is the best advice you will EVER get, trust me

To be honest, I've got to that age in my plastering life that my body is fooked and I generally take on a house re skim or a v small block which means I only bother with 3/4 days a week. I'm nearly 26 now.
Damp proofing however I'm willing to work 8 days week to catch the rising damp grrrrrr.

Seriously, give me a buzz tomorrow, not too early as I've been at a 55 yr old mate of mines funeral who worked 6 and a half days a week and died rich

How long you gone out of Enfield Eddie?, I'm not too far away from there.
 
Long time, too long, I love it back there. Flatterys bar, Fureys in Moyvalley ( my favourite) beside me mam n dad on Blackwaterbridge on the Meath side. Happy days
 
@irish_spread mentioned to my mrs this morning the possibility of coming down to london during the week and she was not happy at me wanting to leave her with the baby all the time. I think she was ok with the idea of 6 weeks but not indefinately. Means I'll have to pass im afraid....youd had a few sherbets last night so probably a relief. Thanks for trying to help though i appreciate it just a shame your so far away(y) 240 mile round trip and kipping in the van probably would have become really hard work pretty quickly.

These sleeping in the van nowadays are old skool. Now don't get me wrong, I'd defo do it rather than spend crazy money on rent but its 2015 ffs. Get yourself on pof.com and use your head ffs. There's shitloads of single mothers on there looking someone to keep them snuggled up at night. They get their rent paid, you get your diner handed to you every night, the breakfast on the table, the clothes washed and ironed and last but not least, you get your bag slapped every night and if your lucky, in the morning as well. Just make sure if you've a wife or girlfriend, make sure she doesn't find out ;).

No not much going on in castlebar, spent a lot of time in westport and louisburgh, although louisburgh was still just a little crossroads town back then, it was massive last time I went about 3 years ago.
 
There's a gang of Donegal plasterers down my way and if there on a small job for two or three days they work till ten or eleven at night and have a few hours sleep in their van.
