Usually before your current contract expires they will email you to offer you a new deal or notification about changes in contract, If they haven't contacted you then call them to ask about renewing your contract, they will give you options available, if you don't like any of them tell them that you will not be renewing at the end of your contract. That is when the negotiation will start,
Don't give up until you get what you want or close to that.

Awesome

There was no setup cost as I was renewing expired contract. When my contract expired they increased the monthly payment I decided not to renew it at that time and got mobile broadband from another provider. That did not work out then I came back to Talktalk to renegotiate and this time around I was given a better deal

How did you go about this renegotiation ? I intend to do that with them too

Yea...my story was that someone ( a senior staff) defrauded my then IT company. They found out he was the one and then because he was close to the company owner, they covered it all and made us took the fall for it. We asked the Nigerian Police to investigate and we pleaded our innocence, but they wouldn't have it. They moved us to SARS where we were locked up for a lengthy period of time. It wasn't a pleasant experience. While in there, my dad was running around to see i was freed, they refused to charge the case to court, they didn't and my dad fell ill and passed away. I didn't see my dad when he passed and was buried. I slipped into depression and it impacted me greatly. Eventually we were released after 2yrs and i wasn't myself. Had to move to my village for awhile to get over the trauma and it took me time. I left the IT industry cos it reminded me of so much. That's my story. Starting a new life here in the Uk, i consider going back into IT, but where do i start ? How do i focus without triggering my past trauma.

That's why I'm kind of struggling. Yea, that's my story. But I'm trying to see how best i can find a way back in if I'll fight to. And thanks to all for the contribution.

It is well with you. Just don't give up. 1600 is a decent pay. I know the uk gets to all of us with all sort of bills. But hang in there. Things will get better. I feel and share in your pain. And like everyone has encouraged you, don't give up. We will all get there.

People largely underestimate what impact their clique can have on how quickly they settle and rise. Its same case even for those in regulated professions with fairly defined pathways.

If you come in and those in your circle quickly sorted their driving, mortgage, good jobs e.t.c. Those things would all of a suddenly become well achievable. Perception is everything.

For many, when it comes to getting on the housing ladder, schools, investments, pensions, job prospects e.t.c. it's largely dependent on what your clique has achieved.


I agree with you on this. It rubs off on you what clique you belong to.

How do I go about this? My current visa will expire next year February. (I already got a sponsorship with the NHS but my letter can. Only be given 3 months to my current visa expiry)
Do I apply for enter clearance or new visa? I don't know. Anyone that has experience with a newborn please

They send letters ? Gave birth in December and i never received such till date.

Viruses:


Stop cleaning, use mould spray to spray the affected areas, works like magic and cost about £1.

Dehumidifier works best in enclosed areas so even if you buy a bigger one, you will have to move it around and close where it's working.

I use that to atleast get rid of some and same time clean the stubborn ones even after spraying it.

I use my 12L for our 2bed. It’s just moving it around. To be honest, the areas with more moist are mostly bathroom and kitchen surroundings.

Our son’s room and the living room are on same wing separated with a door from the other side. Our room is close to kitchen and bathroom. So we have more moist in our room. Sometimes 1hr to 2hrs dehumidifies the living room and our son’s to below 60. While we run more hours in our room and the corridor connecting bathroom. Our target is a little below 60 (57-59) so that we don’t get the house too dry.

So yes, you can use for your 2bed, just move it around and maybe sort the areas with less moist first then spend the days on the area with more moist in the air.

Very very economical, some days we used dehumidifier instead of the heater early this year.

Makes sense, i tend to move our around also. I'll keep up with this as its efficient this way. Thought i could atleast position it in a spot where it could serve every rooms. But its less effective this way. Thanks for your input.

Finally got a permanent solution to mold in my house.

Bought a Meaco Arete Dehumidifier 20l and the rest is story.

Reason for choosing this is because it does not only dehumidify but also purify the air and very low electricity consumption.

Yeah, dry clothes as well.

If you’ve got mold issue try get this product aswell.


Can this cover a two bedroom apartment with kitchen, bathroom, 3 stores and a sitting room ? My apartment is quite big and i got a small dehumidifier (1700ml) that only does little. I don clean tire

Una nor de fok? Funny as it may sound, but it is the truth. I don't know the cause of your quarrels though but I think if she say she doesn't like you ignoring her during such quarrels ...try to be the bigger person and don't ignore her. Never leave the house in anger or sleep over a quarrel. Sometimes just a hug and some knacks would resolve the whole issue. Also try to initiate moves to see the gynecologist if conceiving is an issue ...this is one of the causes of tension in newly weds. God bless your marriage.

Updated..
Before I forget ...you guys should sign up to go see a professional marriage counsellor that is if you try playing the bigger person to resolve the issue doesn't work out. Think of what she loves best, order it and get it delivered to her at work or at home. Ladies love surprises. Try to knack too ...inside kitchen or where she least expect in the house ooo grin
