Hello everyone, please how do I keep myself warm at home aside using these table top heaters, my landlady normally switch off central heater to minimise cost but the cold when it's off gets to me

I got a table heater but it's 2000 watts and may likely get on with lower volts, please any suggestions?
Thanks

Go and get yourself a very warm and cosy onesie.

Electric blanket.
Hot water bottle.

This https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/eligibility/credit-cards/search/ is a great way to start.

It will show you which card you are likely to qualify for before you apply. Used it and got mine when I eventually applied.

Select 'credit (re)building' option.

thanks for this. I registered yesterday night and my credit card is on its way. Despite being less than 3 months here. At least it's a good way to start, even though nah £250 dey inside. Am sure it will assist with improving my credit score

Ancestors, help me look into this matter,

I don't seem to understand healthcare in the UK. Maybe cos of where we are coming from. I got across to my GP since last Monday complaining of acute waist pain and pain In my left knee, spoke with the Dr following day and he said he was recommending xray. On Wednesday. no show, I called again requesting to book to see dr. For a different reason, did that the following day and reminded them that I am yet to see any report or request for xray, he told me that he has forwarded the request to University hospital and that I should. E patient.

My question is, if I no fit waka again nko? Plus the excruciating pains, will I wait for ages before them attend to me? Is that how they operate here?

If na naija, at least you walk into any hospital and you are attended to.

Please what do I do? Is there any pain reliever apart from Paracetamol which I brought from Naija that I can buy easily from a shop ?

Just to add, I have been taking vitamin D and c since I relocated as recommended here sometime ago

Do you work full time or part time? It says I’m ineligible, maybe because of my earnings.

Just to add to the bolded below. Dropbox applies in the UK as i have recently done that in London.
Ralphlauren:


The key strategy for securing US visit visa as a first time applicant resident in the UK is to demonstrate recent travel history within Europe.

Unlike Nigeria, the consular officers don't really care about or ask for bank statements. What they look at is recent travel history (flipping the pages of your passport), the information provided on your online application (your job title, your gross income and detailed explanation of your job description/roles/responsibilities) and your attitude, confidence and answers provided during the interview.

People have been in the UK for 1 to 4 years and they've never bothered to visit anywhere in Europe as tourists yet they want to fly all the way to America to visit Times Square ??

In summary, apply for schengen visa and visit any European country of your choice at least once or twice. Then apply for US visa as a TOURIST with an intention to vist a city known as a tourist location. e.g. New York for 7 to 10 days.

Current students - speak to your international office and they will provide you the letter you need to apply for schengen visa. Those with part time or full time jobs - you need your payslips.

Fat account balance is not required for schengen visas. As long as your account balance equals the multiplication of the daily subsistence (i believe its around 30euros a day) and the number of days you plan to stay in Europe. E.g. you plan to visit for 5 days, all you are required to evidence in your account is minimum 150 euros. Cheap tickets are available from budget airlines especially for journeys during the week. Cheap accommodation can be sourced from the likes of booking.com and lastminute.com. Affordable travel insurance can be purchased from price comparison sites.

Its standard 2 years for Nigerians even for renewal. Ghanaians get 5 to 10 years when they renew. To the best of my knowledge, Dropbox doesn't apply in the UK.
