The rule of thumb is that less is better, rather to be a little undertrained then overtrained ! If you are willing to accept this fact, then you will make progress if not you are going to be another statistic!
Welcome to the board!
I think its a must to split up your sessions. You can't go along weight training every day or you wont have any energy left by the end of the week. I only go 3-4 days a week like vassille said. If you can't get to the gym on the weekend, then I would do a monday, wednesday, friday routine.
