A little help?

Hey guys,
Been a long time on and off lurker of these forums and finally decided to make a little post to get some help.
I've been playing poker now on and off for 10 years or so and probably more off than on for the last 5 unfortunately. I've had moderate success other the years but never really took it too seriously and always hoped around games. My favourite has probably always been MTTs but due to poor discipline the variance usually beats me there as I tend not to utilise much BR management... The other problem with MTTs I've had previously was time, I used to play on stars a lot and even full title way back when and without a 12 hour window it was probably pointless playing.
So then I hopped around I'm cash, turbo sngs Husng and a few other bits and pieces. Again I did okay but not great at those.
Like I said I've been playing on and off, I usually stop when results aren't going too well or life gets a bit busy, but I obviously really enjoy this game, am not going to quit anytime soon, so I think maybe I should get back to basics, find a format I enjoy, a site I like that's small and has some community feel and play mostly for fun and then see how things go.
So, I've always liked sky, no HUDs, small UK playerpool, 6max and all that, I guess I'd like to know from you guys what the games are like now on the evenings (weekdays) are there any sngs running rwguregul that are playable, are the MTTs completed in a reasonable time? Having said that, if they're they're probably a little too turbo. How is the Husng these days? I always loved that format, but (like most things) edges were shrinking massively and especially on the larger sites a lot of fear of bots etc.
Just realised I've written a long post of disorganised mess here... I think overall I just wanna get involved in the community a bit, keep playing the game I love and if I can do that without depositing reguarrly then I'll be a happy man!

Good post @U_SEEM_MAD & welcome to the Forum.
Not sure I'm the right person to answer your questions, but I'm sure a few experienced & wise heads - or maybe even @Jac35 - will be along in due course with some help & opinions.
GL mate.
PS - Not being nosy, but convoy flows better if we know a little about each other. What sort of age are you, what part of the country do you live, & what line of work are you in now or previously? Favourite TV Show & football team? Do you admire concrete?
Football, my team is Arsenal, not really sure why, my parents were never really into football so I think Arsenal were the first team I really watched and enjoyed, the likes of Henry, Wright and Vierra so that's just stuck since then.
Oh and concrete, yeah, I love it, who doesn't?
Transport Manager? Love concrete? Love Arsenal?
You might just be the best.
Will be others who can better advise on SNG, if its double your money SNG then you can get a lot of games in, not sure on HU SNG/normal SNG.
Mtts, start times 6.30 to 7.30 blinds 10/12 mins finish around midnight to 12.30
Main and mini finish around 1.30 /2.30 am
Any mtt after 8 Finish around midnight to 1 a.m. blind and structure dependent
Welcome to the forum mate and good luck
Regarding the latter I think I last played on sky around a year ago, but found when I hit the £10 and up games I was sat relentlessly by the better players, which I guess is standard in those games, but obviously much harder to make profit when battling others for the lobby, even more so on a small site like sky
