We don't want to move to any of these places.

Our plan now is to leave them. (3 transfers within one year is unsettling).

They don't pay for this relocation cost, what they do is pay for deposit and first month rent and charge it back for you to pay back small small.

But these are my major challenges with leaving them immediately and also leaving Newcastle as Newcastle do not seems to have a lot of Nursing roles with Sponsorship.

Below are why I am thinking it will be expensive leaving Newcastle Now.

1. We have got tenant contracts that will end April 8 2023.
2. Energy Contract till April 2023 exit fee £300.
3. Wifi Contract till April 2023 exit fee £150.

So the earliest I think we can leave Newcastle is April 2023.

Thinking of what to do between now and April 2023 is mentally draining.

If we accept to go to any of these places in the interim (Which is likely the only option we have now), while looking for job with sponsorship in Manchester or Liverpool or Leeds (I believe they will be more opportunities there especially for me, It was hard for me to find job here in Newcastle due to my family situation and were we live), The cheapest she would spend working 14days a month with taxi is £980. This will put alot of financial burden on us.

In her contract, if she leaves before 3 years she will pay back a certain amount, her colleague left after 6months and she was asked to pay back £4,500.

How do I sail through this turbulent sea.

Can her Union force them to pay for this taxi fare?.

Please dear Ancestors i need all the Advice, help and Encouragement now.

I think if you really want to move away from the company you will. How much is too much for mental health?

However, I have heard of nurses changing their sponsors, and the new sponsor pays the penalty for leaving the previous employer. This makes sense because nurses are in huge demands.

So, let your wife interview with other employers, then ask them if they are willing to pay the penalty fee.

Ladies, gents and LGBTQ+ which media do you read your financial news relating to the stock/shares market from?

Kind new to the stock/shares space but my go-to for the crypto world is cointelegraph.

Please I need more input on this guys

What other input do you need?

WatchYourSix:


Pack your bags to nigeria if UK is that horrible..
I left nigeria 2017 after graduation...its 1000times better than being back home unless you are lazy... i was on 20hrs per week for 16months...and i was still sensing cash to my mum and sister steady...holiday period i was making better money working full time..

make una no dey dey paint worst case horrible picture

rkayfree:


Pls sir , why laugh in spiritual powers ?

Are you advocating people should stay back instead so as not to be disappointed or how ?

Not advocating for people to stay back but don't compare situations that are not the same.

How much does a student pay in taxes? Why compare the situation of a student that pays almost nothing in taxes to a full-time worker on a 24k salary? That full-time worker will struggle a lot to even have £100 in savings after taxes depending on where they live. Such person would need to get a better paying job or work crazy hours to make ends meet.

WatchYourSix:


Lol...People with student visa/20hrs per week are pulling it off..
na person wey come get work visa go dey complain...besides is uk schools not funded at primaru amd secondary level

If he works for 6 months he shoukd be able to pay for his family's visa and plane ticket naaa..

After that things will get better with the supporting striker in the uk..

I laugh in spiritual powers. Experience is truly the best teacher.

Omo. Those estate agents showed me fire (family of 5). Getting a 2 bed was near impossible so had to settle for 3. Even with that, at one point, I had to start lying about my number of kids till I saw a house where the Landlord requested he sees the prospective tenants physically. It was when I saw the Landlord was open to giving me the apartment I declared the true number of kids, guy man just added £100 monthly to the rent and said he was happy to do a 2 year contract with a 6 month break out clause which I accepted. It proved to be wise decision in the end as rent in that area is skyrocketed and I am just close to a year into the contract and salary increased 3ce giving me headroom.

But reason am 2 bedroom for a family of 5. You sef go rent if the tables were turned?

Rubyventures:


You are right, same here, I love books, I read a lot an have got loads of them.

It was discussed that for quick return of BRP and

Watch your BRP and PDL come back swiftly

Tried and trusted; still works

Still working. PDL returned under 2 weeks.

gratefulme40:
I am just excited. My mom just got a visitor visa, finally I can get small rest in this UK.

Lucky you. Enjoy the few weeks of rest.

Mind if I make some clarifications that might help when I'm applying for mine.

How long did you state that she will be visiting for?
Did she include that she had dependents?

giselle237:
if there are 5 individuals and 10 bags, it evens out. They wont pay.

Yeah right

giselle237:
option 1- minivan from the airport straight to your destination from manchester airport
or national express coach that leaves from manchester airport, it’ll go straight to Leeds.
When you get to Leeds, order Uber XL or Bolt XL from leeds bus station to house/hotel.
Avoid train.

Wouldn't they have to pay for luggages more than 2 with national express?

mimilyrics:
I just checked but couldn't find it on there anymore. It looks like the image below but with a padded comfy back instead of the mesh.
I also got a detachable padded back support for days when my back needs sime extra support. Will send a more accurate pic once I can.

This sounds and looks like something am looking for. I would appreciate if I could get the accurate name/description of the chair. I'm more interested in the back and neck support. At least if one would spend more than £100 on a chair, it should be worth it as well as avoiding having to return such bulky item.

mizGene:

Secret Lab Chairs was the brand mentioned many pages back.

After much research, I think it's best to totally avoid gaming chairs

mimilyrics:
Check Argos, got a nice one off them a while back.

What's the chair called? I have been through Argos but don't know which one to settle for.

umarwy:


Gaming chairs, those fancy ones that can turn to bed

Legend has it that Gaming chairs are a waste of money. They are alll the same with no sensible invention.

Lexusgs430:



This matter was discussed a few pages back ....... Track the discuss.......

True. Couldn't track it down. Few pages back is probably 50 pages....

fatima04:


A lot of people suggested secretlab chairs few pages back. Though some of us still dey bookmark it for future

Thank you. I wanted to confirm if anything has changed since then

Any recommendations for tested and trusted ergonomic office chairs?

1. This is not a job, its a voluntary service

2. I was voted to moderate the section, thosedays to be a mod nairalanders have to vote for you, couple of potential mods will be selected and voted for, one with highest vote becomes a mod.

3. I don't have direct contact to Seun and i don't think any mod does, we contact him the same way other nairalanders do.

I see. The reason why I thought it was a job is because I remembered there was once an advertisement for the position of a moderator.

I bet if voting is still the way to become a moderator, a lot of your "enemies" wouldn't allow you to win it

I wish someone can just state one or two post code that is good for BLT for lazy people who don't have power for plenty research . ....

Doncaster seems to be the new place investors are investing in.

Alot of people think mods have some whatsapp group or communicate outside here....maybe others do but i don't.

Begs the question of how you got this job .

Dud you do interview? Don't you have a direct connection to your oga at the top?

I've never tried bringing in fish products except for when I travel with it.
I mostly ship non-perishables in case of delays.

Alright thanks for the feedback. Hopefully someone who has can signify.

mimilyrics:
You can try https://centrepointservices.co.uk/
Been using them on and off over the years and they've always delivered from Lagos and from London. Last used them few months ago to send stuff to Lagos - took about a week. They offer pickups and drop-off but they charge extra for pickup.
I paid £88.50 for a 13kg bag (including pickup cost).

What food items were you able to ship with them? I couldn't find this info on their website.

Are fish products allowed?

LagosismyHome:


Tesco, sanisbury... the big supermarket all have full turkey

Goat meat that taste like naija one.... start unlearning and relearning how to eat the goat you see here...... The proper naija ones didn't make it to the airline ...lol. if you see at all, it so expensive

My wife wanted to buy iPhone 11 from Facebook market place but was scammed. The person blocked her after sending £450. The prior arrangement was to get it delivered. Going forward is pick-up and pay.

I'm chatting the person as a buying, and he/she is wanting to sell the same phone for me.

The recipient's bank is Modulr FS Ltd. I don't even know what kind of bank that is.

Be careful even with pickups. There a lot of fake Apple products out there!

mrcodebreaker:
Anyone working in london hybrid and living outside london?

I secured a role which would require me coming in twice a week during my probation period. Also I beleive the human interaction with my manager is good for the first few months to have a better bond.

My plan is spend a night in a hotel every week with my commute being just back and forth from outside the city weekly.

Two questions -

Where can i stay once a week for 3 months asides a hotel? Are there people I can pay to stay once a week close to paddington?

For people in this situation that don’t want to move to london. How do you navigate this predicament?

Have you explored the option of Youth hostels?

You get the added bonus of meeting loads of people. Some people have been in the hostels for MONTHS.

Amarathripple0:

Yes you can and you can also continue with your education alongside the perk of working full time.

specialenvoy:
Yea and you can now take a full-time job with your studies

If you wish, you can covert your study to Part-time, but make sure you complete your study!

umarwy:


Yes

Awesome, thank you all!

Can a student who's dependent got a sponsored job convert from tier 4 to become the new dependent?

Mamatukwas:


General market go to Istanbul. Even Istanbul get level tbh

For higher end clothing Ankara is better.

However you should be able to find 95% of what you need in Istanbul unless you have exacting taste.

Na to go with empty boxes be that oh . I too like awoof

Mamatukwas:


Turkey is great. If you know where to go you can get some really really fantastic clothes for less than UK prices.

Like which places?

Turkey isn't far and there js eVisa for BERP holders.

LagosismyHome:


The times I tried it , even when I bought , shipped in to my sister and had them ship it to me. ... the tax man was waiting for me in UK so I don't bother again. Instead worse case I target sales in the UK. You can get some really good deals in sales

But why are clothings unnecessarily expensive in UK compared to other EU countries as well?
