you should try some of the agencies paying the best money they normally wont pay digs but they will pay you through an umbrella company meaning you can clain all your travel expenses, food allowance and digs . what they do is take it off your tax so u end up paying very little tax and take home nearly all your hourly rate so for example if you were getting paid 14.50 an hour say u would probably take 13 an hour home so on 50 hours it would be £650 i no its not the best when your working away but it does pay the bills hope this helps
