[quote author=Mrs, Eve link=topic=580124.msg7473789#msg7473789 date=1294318582]I am too straightforward so it is easy for me to tell people anything. I am working on it to be less straightforward. It will be a daunting task for me but I can attempt at it.

My husband and family say I am too honest sometimes I cut to the bone not intentionally but I don't think I need to lie.[/quote]=> Loud mouth

I'm a lil worried that your idea of doing things for love is seriously clouding your judgements.
Don't you know that most times doing things when not asked makes the other person become overly comfortable.
You going over the top by ALWAYS cooking and sharing the food half way paints a picture of a desperate woman (I'm not suggesting you are but i know how i will feel if a woman does that for me). It's OK to do it once in a while but not make it a duty.
You are spoiling the dude, Let him stand up on his feet and be a man. If he can afford kebab then surely he should be able to give you money for food stuffs.
The only favour a girlfriend is allowed to do is cook but not use your own money. You are not married to him for crying out loud.

Secondly, why borrow him money that you don't have? Never do stupid things for love. What happens God forbid you guys break up and you've borrowed him thousands which he refuses to pay, you probably end up struggling to repay the money and in turn get blacklisted.
Their is only so much anyone can do. You are not his mother so talk to him about not being comfortable with the current situation.

Just let him know that he needs to drop money going forward if he wants home cooked meals.

who is he?

Where do u frequent and what's your preference

Talk to me Sunny204
U shy or something?

So what's the deal with your inability to make friends in the real world?

PS: What have you heard about me?

What's going on in here
@OP
Have you tried church, uni/college, work-place?

^^
Would you be kind enough to point me to the report
Why has anorexia gained huge awareness?
I never heard of it until the size zero models started popping up

I'm not talking about malnutrition. There are actual reported cases of either a highly restricted diet or anorexia among African women.[/quote]It's highly expected for such anomalies to occur in the wider continent but I'd seriously doubt this cases will be reported in Nigeria.
More often than not, anorexia is a lifestyle rather than a disease and i just fail to see how Nigerians will bring themselves that low so as to being accepted in the wider society.
Remember anorexic patients are prevalent in the modeling industry due to the industry need of the models maintaining a size zero body frame.

No we don't
We have malnutrition/kwashiorkor (mainly in children) not anorexia.

Tosin has definitely moved and your brother deserves to know what's up.
you can always tell your brother what you saw so he can at least move on with his life

Looks like queensmith is living her self proclaimed life-style on a combo her salary + CC.
anything above 22K per annum is an OK salary for a single person

hmmmmmmm

Do you have strong Islamic views?
If not, then find a way to let them know you aren't about to change their beloved daughter.
As long as you are liberal then it's coolio. If not then you definitely have to move on and find your own muslim sista.

I can’t really comment on the chances of you getting a comparable job in naija but I would advice you to consider getting CFA certified so as to stand out a bit from the crowd.
I have a friend at KPMG with over 3yrs experience that earns about 8.5M per annum.
Similar background with you (2:1 from unilag, ICAN certified) but an added advantage of a MSc in Finance/Invest from a very reputable uni.

However, if you do have a change of heart and want to continue living in the UK then you just need to do targeted applications. You might need CFA as well.
Don’t they pay more than that as a management accountant?
Anyhoo, you can always apply via efinancalcareers as I’m sure finance professionals are always in demand

Lastly, below are some quick steps that you can take to improve your current situations.
why is your council tax that high? It’s too high for a 1 bed flat so please do any of the following:
Apply for a 25% discount that you will qualify for if you are a single occupant
Move to a favourable borough that you won’t have to pay exuberant tax fees

Gas & electricity should be around 50 quid for a 1 bed flat. Have you considered using the same energy provider?

Water bill shouldn’t cost you more than 15 quid per month so u really ought to shop around. Moneysaving expert forum is good for this kind off things

You can save money by having your Sky+Land Phone+ISP with one supplier. You should be able to save at least 15 quid going via this route

Why is your car insurance high? Are u a new driver?

Your grocery appears to be high for a single person. Have you considered doing bulk shopping?

@baylor
open a separate thread so we can advice you how to increase ur savings to 300 quid a month.
Your outgoings are on the excessive side

Crackles can't complete a sentence without his fav quote "fc.uk me sideways".
I doubt the dude is crackles but hey nlers have been known to suffer from MPD.
Any evidence to back up your claim?

Princek12:
My experience is that more Nigerians in the U.K. do more menial jobs than Nigerians in the U.S., a country that is more immigrant friendly. U.K. is the menial jobs destination for Nigerians, for U.K. visas are easier to get than U.S. visas, and there are more opportunities in the U.S. The business environment in the U.S. is also more favorable, and anecdotal evidence suggests that there are more successful Nigerians in the U.S. (percentage wise) than the U.K. and other European countries.

So a lot of these Nigerians at home try to make themselves feel better by erroneously assuming that Nigerians abroad are not successful. Keep dreaming.

U really can't compare UK to the US as they aren't like-for-like

Uk is comparable to about 3 or so states in the US hence the reason why more opportunities will generally be expected

And you measure a continent's technological advancement by how many Facebook accounts/users there is on that continent?

Quoted figures are in Pound Sterling

Not going to argue with you but frankly IT professionals don't earn 2M in naija.
That's just u living in fantasy land.

I seriously doubt you earn over 73K per annum before tax working as a permanent staff
Mind you, i'm very familiar with IT.

You'd be lucky to earn 10M per annum in Naija

dude with 50k, ur take home pay is: <3K => <750K Naira
Stop manufacturing figures in your head.

Do you work as a contractor?
Mind u IT professional is pretty generic, What do u specialise in?

@OP
I bet u work as a contractor in the UK.
What permanent IT jobs pay >7K after tax in the UK or even US?
With 10-20 years experience you had still be earning <5k after tax so asking for 2M is a bit far fetched.

Engineers with >3yrs experience (Oil Coys) in naija earn above >15 M per annum

This was me expecting you to say u work as an IB

Dude, why do u like fighting ladies all over the place?
Surely that's not gentle man like

So what is it if not romance?
Sexuality?

[quote author=Mrs, Eve link=topic=576164.msg7428389#msg7428389 date=1293636377]Yes I mentioned a V-neck blouse with gauchos. I was not showing anything. There are respectful V-neck blouses without showing too much. I do respect myself visually and I do not need to flaunt my body to get mine. I use my mental weapon and savvy vocal abilities. Apparently they are real, he married me. [/quote]How do you go about this before a man approaches u?
He approached u cos u flashed him a lil flesh then he probably got extra impressed when u opened ya mouth.

Are u sure they r real? can i get corky to perform an elasticity test?

Flip flops and ?
Remembered u mentioned boob top or something like that ages ago.
So u basically flashed ur asset and caught the biggest price in the ocean.

Some weak men. hhehehehehheheh
I would have asked to touch so as to make sure ur balloons r real before falling. hehehehehhehe

My endowment is enough to make any woman smile so no need for measurement
