Don't mind him, I know loads of naija guys that earn £500 per day and don't even pay much tax cos they are contractors. Once you are not under any visa restrictions, it is easy to make money in the UK.
My former CISO was on £2k a day...no be say dem say i saw his SOW.

You suddenly changed the savings argument from £1k to £2k.

Yet that’s what I fork out every month and so does every other parent at the nursery my child attends.

There’s actually a waiting list (as long as one year) to enrol a child in some nurseries - especially those with excellent inspection ratings.
There are some that give you access to a webcam to see your child real time...They charge about £1400 a month sha

You could try asking your agency for a raise in your hourly rate. £10 / hr is ridiculous for a qualified doctor. This is the kind of exploitation that British Newspapers like exposing.

Since 2011, after 3 months in a Temp role, the Agency have to BY LAW increase your rate to what they would pay someone doing a comparable job on a permanent basis.

Its called (Agency Workers Regulations) AWR rules. Under the AWR, temporary agency workers become entitled, after they have been in the same role with the same hirer for 12 calendar weeks, to the same pay and working conditions as a comparable direct employee of the hirer.

Mention AWR to your Agency and they should increase your rates and possibly backdate it too.

An agency I once worked with in 2015 lost its NHS contract to a cheaper Agency. The new agency I was transferred to increased my rates immediately and when I questioned this, they said it was because AWR kicked in but the old Agency kept quiet about this until I mentioned AWR to them and they had to back pay me the increased rate they previously kept quiet about.

Have you tried the NHS Jobs website ? https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/
Recruitment agents are bastards. They make you sign a lot of waivers before starting the contract. I remember signing one AWR waiver but I didn't mind sha

Please can you elaborate what this ir35 thing is...i've been hearing about the phenomenon
IR35 is tax legislation that is designed to combat tax avoidance by workers supplying their services to clients via an intermediary, such as a limited company, but who would be an employee if the intermediary was not used. Such workers are called 'disguised employees' by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

You know every financial terms but you are still a failure. Humble yourself so I can put you through. Many Nigerians in America contact me frequently and have gained a lot from the advice I gave them.
Lmao you are the failure propagating falsehood on the Internet. Anyone that take advice from you is doomed. You don't know your right from left and partially brain dead. Check all your post and go in front of a mirror and give yourself a brain resetting slap for being a dunce.

We have saved up an ok amount (over 80k) for deposit.so we now want to leave it and then focus on building in Nigeria.

To be honest we are confused(just like my name).Feels like we are in a huge spin with no concrete plan.

Whether to keep on saving and focus on buying this year or to just split our money and do the 2.The pressure is intolerable
Look into help -to -buy scheme by the government and use half of the saving to stabilise yourself.
