This is similar to mine. All Electric, same EPC rating. Spend between £70-75 per month. Prepaid meter. 2 bedroom. Just myself and my partner
How many heaters do you put on and an average of how many hours a day?

Do you also use fridge, electric kettle, microwave oven and boiler?

The question is not how to apply but on convincing the employer to file for a license to sponsor
Volunteer to bear the cost of the application and any related charges and remind them that you won't be a flight risk as you are most likely to be restricted to them for the next 5 years.

The exact reason, it makes sense to sign a long term contract.......

My rent is 650 monthly, my cousin that bought a house is paying 300 monthly. It's like it is cheaper to buy seff

hi house.. good morning, can someone please suggest the best uk banking or saving app (like piggy vest in nigeria) that one can use to save money without restrictions, I'm trying my best to cultivate the habit of saving as much.. thank you
Monzo has pot, but since there are no restrictions it may not solve your problem because the money is very much accessible to you. They also have other packages that can help you save (with their small interests) but with restrictions.

There's no right one, and actually what the OP is thinking about is no different from the other reasons people venture into marriage (such as someone to support me/have children with/society and the church said so/I thought marriage means sex on tap, etc.).

The only difference is that he's being honest about his calculations, while most people aren't and prefer to dress their own calculations up.
This is absolutely incorrect.
For all the reasons you mentioned above, the person will still go ahead with the marriage. Trust me, if the OP gets a sponsored tier 2 visa a month to his wedding, he may back out because he won't be needing the girl again.

But We switch roles later .
From this, it appears you're trying to be proactive about visa extension i.e if you finish your studies and PGW, she will begin her own round of studies and PGW then you become dependant. Instead of marrying someone you don't know, just be doing several masters program and PhD if possible till you complete the 10 years.

If you decide to risk it, you might still get a good wife, just that you might be the problem not the lady because you'll feel entitled.

Hi guys, thanks for all your helps in the past . Now settled in the UK.

As a single guy, I'm thinking of quickly getting a girl from home to marry and bring her here.. it'll serve as an edge for student dependant move after my own studies and she'll be able to work full time while I study.
Pls house, what are the pros and cons of this thought and chance of possibility?
I almost did not want to comment on this but e no let me pass.

In summary...are you asking whether you should marry your girlfriend or you are asking whether you should just look for a girl, wife her and bring her over so that she can work and assist you financially. Which one? What is your objective?

It happened to me last month but luckily it just dislodged my bumper a bit and all I had to do was punch it into place.
A lady rear ended me at a zebra crossing. It was dark and she did not get out of her car. I stepped out, looked at the cars but could not see anything as her car was still in my rear. She blurted out "sorry" from inside the car and I entered my car to make way for passing cars, towards a shop that was by the side, this woman just sped off and I couldn't read her number plate because it was very muddy. I wanted to follow her but then I had made the turn already and other cars were already passing by.
Nai be say na to dey give them Nigerian style na, stay center of road argue until police come.

He should try and negotiate then without involving his insurance provider (unless na expensive car), if not just accept whatever the insurance say and set up a convenient direct debit plan with them.
How does insurance work in the UK. If it’s comprehensive insurance for instance, is the insurance company not supposed to bear the cost of repairs? Why will he still pay for repairs after paying for insurance?

Please, I read somewhere on page 1 that someone said his advice for tier2 holders is to buy the house on the the first day if possible. My question now is how long someone can stay in the uk before purchasing a home, for example, if the person has at least 15-20% fund of the mortgage at hand. Thank you
I wanted to begin my search for a mortgage as well because I have some funds I'm not using, but I was told by someone here that I need ILR status before I could get a mortgage. Don't know how true that is. I've just stayed few months here.

Does anyone know about this?
FamilyRe: He Didn't Contribute For My Wedding But Wants My Contribution by Viruses(op): 10:00pm On Feb 16, 2022
Kingsasian:
I see no big deal in this wedding contribution of a thing. I don't know where it is written that friends must or should make contributions towards the wedding ceremony of a friend. Na you wan marry then why must you expect contribution from people aside family members? It's just like saying you want to build a house and you dey expect your friends to make contributions towards that for you. If you want to give please give if you don't want to, then there is no need to whine about it. With or without your contributions the wedding will still take place just as yours did.
The wedding will of course still take place. My point is he shouldn't be asking if he is not giving.
FamilyRe: He Didn't Contribute For My Wedding But Wants My Contribution by Viruses(op): 8:17pm On Feb 16, 2022
Truvelisback:
B4 u start judging him, did u ask him for assistance for ur wedding?
Like I already mentioned, I didn't ask him, just the same way I didn't ask those that helped.
But seriously if your close friend is getting married, will you not assist him financially just because he has not asked even if you have the money. Just like saying you won't contribute to buying gift item for a colleague who is getting married because he or she has not come out to say "you people should buy me gift item".

If that is the case you shouldn't bother anybody with contribution since nobody bothered you.

Wedding ceremony is not a life threatening situation...

Hence, If I was to be in your situation, I will apply the common law of nature that states... "As the left hand washes the right hand, the right hand in turn washes the left hand... '

What u cultivate during planting season is what u will harvest...


Do you mean he is reaping what he sowed?

socialmediaman:
OP It happens every day. Did you ask for financial contribution when you wedded and he didn't contribute? or this came up because he's asking? What you do in response is up to you. Most people will return the favor, not only because of tit for tat but because they'll feel cheated. Again, it's up to you.
I didn't ask him and I didn't take it to heart. It just occurred to me when he asked and was even asking me my travelling plans to the wedding because he is wedding in another state as well.

I have a friend that didn't contribute financially to my wedding ceremony, He didn't even attend perhaps because the wedding was in another state, can't tell. I know this guy has money because he is my colleague and we are on the same pay grade Not as though I was expecting anything from anybody as I could chest all the bills, but it came to my consciousness when he sent me his wedding IV and asked for financial assistance. In my mind I was guy na happy married life you tell me, expect same.

Honestly, when you see friends supporting each other in events, some could be first time while others are sort of returned favours, so if you don't do for somebody, don't even expect people to do for you.

Has this happened to you before? share your experience.

Your reasoning is just something else. I hope you know that the autopsy done in Delta wasn't carried out by the family but by the Police. When the case was brought back to Lagos, the same Police decided to carry out another autopsy.
