We complain to our landlord about our fridge. We couldn't open the freezer compartment so it affected how we preserve food and the quantity we can buy. Also, if we are to have other occupants in the house, the fridge/freezer will be too small for us.

Yesterday, our new fridge/freezer (that's how it's call here) was delivered by 2 men. The men just dropped it and told us to connect after about 3 hrs...

First pic, old fridge

Now I can shop with easeeeee

Enjoyment for those who live in furnished apartments ooo.

In April 2020, Captain Sir Tom Moore wanted to raise £1,000 for charity by his 100th birthday by doing laps in his yard with his walker.

His story inspired so many people that he ended up raising over £32 million for the NHS.

He received over 150,000 birthday cards from all over the world.

In July, he was knighted by the Queen.

Sadly, he has just passed away with Covid-19.

May his soul rest in peace.

I love the way you make things look so easy especially buying stuff to fit any class of citizen. Thanks for replying my mail. You have a kind heart.

Freezer @ £50 Whao!!!!
Lol.. Depending on your taste and how long you'll be in the country, you can rent an unfurnished house.

It won't cost an arm and a leg. There are plenty charity furniture shops, eg British Heart Foundation where you can get furniture for cheap prices. Earlier in the thread in Coventry I posted one called Love Coventry, you can get a reasonable sized fridge/freezer for £50. Tables, chairs, chest of drawers for less than £30 etc.

Also there is gumtree and even Facebook market place where people sell unwanted stuff for giveaway price and some even give out free provided you can go and pick it up.

Lastly, if you are working and you want tear rubber stuff, you have the option of getting the shop's 'pay small small' scheme ( I am considering this for the new Samsung S21 5G, I cannot come and kill myself jor)

Decent living

After my studies in 2010, I just concluded that the difference between developed and developing nations are too much. 19th century Europe was far more developed than 21st century Africa.

I was buying chocolate coated biscuits for less than 50p in UK whereby the same sells for 3k here. I bought bucket of cadbury chocolate at £1 while the same goes for not less than 3.5k here.

No matter your status, you could still live a decent poor man life in UK.

So right about biscuits.
Food generally is very cheap if not extremely cheap in UK.
Funny, they import some of these things yet so cheap.

I shop mainly in Aldi. They sell so cheap but I do patronize them cos of fresh everything and cos it's smaller than the rest in size in my area.

I have tried shortbread made by diff companies, some as costly as 15pounds but the one I went back to buy was the one made for Aldi and it's not up to 50p. Around 39 or so.

I love your fridge. Fridgemaster is bam

It isn't just dependent on how long, if you will be working and you have kids, unfurnished appears to be a better option because you can't leave the house as good as you met it with active kids around

Abini2012:


Fair and valid point.

How is Carlisle this morning?

tushqueen:



Cool city really, guess it isn't far from Edinburgh

Igbamatigbi:
Thanks for your post Abini2012, your post is inspiring and well written.

Abini2012:

Thank you! I'll do that stuff when the weather lets up

Abini2012:

Yeah. I checked, it's about 3+ hrs journey via bus and train. I go come chop jollof rice after Covid

tushqueen:


Oh I actually thought it will be closer because the train from Manchester to Carlisle heads/stops at Edinburgh. That will be nice though, may the world be safe again
