Me, about 2 miles and it takes 20 minues on the tram.
DH is a driving instructor so 12 yards to car, but loads of miles a day driving round

Him 20 miles/ 20-30 minutes (parking on site)

me was 20 miles (opposite direction)/ 45-60 mins (no parking on site). Moved back to local office 10 mins depending on traffic.

expatinscotland · 08/11/2007 14:09

about 30 miles/day.

it takes him about 25 minutes each way.

me: about 16 miles 3 days a week. takes best part of an hour - bus - train - bus

one day a week - no miles (work from home)

and one day a week is about 14-15 - takes about 45-50 mins

him: probably about 15 miles - takes about 45-50 mins - bus - train - tube.

RubySlippers · 08/11/2007 14:16

18 miles - on a good day it will take me 40 mins on a bad day 2 hours (bloody M25)

I work from my office 3 - 4 days per week and the rest from home, although the days i do the commute are starting to get me down a bit now

DS is out and about a lot by car and/or train

WriggleJiggle · 08/11/2007 14:18

This house - about 100m on foot
last house - about 150m on foot
house before - about 60m on foot
house before - about 20m on foot

Don't like to be too far away from all the action!

I commute 43 miles by combination of car, train, tube and walk. Takes me at best 1 hour 15 min, more likely 1 hour 30 min.

DH commutes 42 miles and drives. Can take him anything from 1 hour to 2.5 hours depending on traffic.

fleacircus · 12/11/2007 16:35

DP - 40mins tube plus walk. Me - 5mins walk. It changed my life.

castille · 12/11/2007 16:43

DH - 63 miles. It takes him an hour to drive or 90 mins by bus/train/bus.

Me - when I go back, and when I'm not working from home - 6 miles from school to office, 15 mins by car & metro.

mrsmalumbas · 12/11/2007 16:44

Me, nothing! i.e don't work or sometimes work at home

DH - 20 mins drive to station, 45 mins train, 5 mins walk to office - and then reverse to come home, obviously!

Have previously commuted up to an hour but that was pre-kids.

paddingtonbear1 · 12/11/2007 16:50

Me: 8 miles by bike, 4 days a week (1 way, so 16miles per day).
dh: pretty much the same, but in a different direction!
