A friend of mine in a similar situation investigated the possibility of a Surplus FQ for him and his family but if I remember rightly the cost of it was pretty high compared to renting privately. Not sure I can remember the ins and outs of it, but I believe he found it cost-preventative.
The way I am getting my head round the whole situation is that I am thinking of the whole situation as like going on Det - living in sub-standard squalor for a temporary period of time foregoing having nice things around me.
Might even go the whole hog and ask Harry Staish if I can pitch a 12x12 on the sports field and wash my clothes in a bucket!!
Thanks for the advice guys, any more would be appreciated just so I can rest easy that I've exhausted all avenues of possibility.
