My family found a few mega deals for basic accom in warmer parts this winter (jan/feb) forr the 2 month that were less than what gas + electric bill will amount to (for a month) and thought that was a good idea. House back here still will have standing charges, council tax etc and all the other stuff running on it, not as if you have no costs because you aren't here.
Ignore the jetting off to another country, transfers, etc, planet will have to take another one for the team :(
I was about to ask here what people thought about leaving the country for a few month in the winter and there is already a Guardian article about it.
