Hello guys! What are people's opinions on creating a separate thread dedicated to discussing money management and money-saving opportunities specifically for individuals in the UK ? This thread would cover topics such as bank switch offers, cashback offers, credit card offers such as AMEX sign-up referrals,money remittance platforms, investment opportunities and platforms like free-trade referrals, eToro, LISA etc, . Given the challenging times we're facing, it would be immensely helpful to support one another by sharing information on cost-cutting measures and ways to earn some extra income effortlessly. While this thread is fantastic, it can be time-consuming to sift through all the information, especially when you only need specific details such as the ones highlighted above. @justwise, @semmyk,@rinzylee,@husla @lexusgs430 1 Like |

webincomeplus: You're right! Most likely bullous impetigo. However, OP mentioned that they have tried treating with antibiotics and it's not been responsive. As much as impetigo has a low systemic absorption, (hence topical abx preferred), Bullous is quite a stubborn one and it may be worth trying an oral abx with a better systemic absorption such as cefalexin. |

babaowambe: Mr says he knows a lot of people there. It is mind-boggling how people who have never stepped foot in a country start advising those that live there. It's his ilk that relocate and start saying, "I was advised wrongly, I thought it was all rosy. " |

mimilyrics: More like 12.5% on that salary. tshoboy: This calculation is more like 1.5% pension contribution. No way you'll be paying £165 monthly pension on 80k salary at 4.5% contribution. |

Osoderi: Even if you're still on probation, you're entitled to annual leave proportional to duration worked in the current financial year. Check with your employer how much leave you have and you can request some time off as appropriate . |

Morning! For all looking to grab some extra £££ from current account switches. Nationwide currently offers £200 to switch to their account but there are others with other incentives. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/compare-best-bank-accounts/ Note that opening or switching 3 or more bank accounts in a short period of time can have an impact on your credit rating. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ayowolebami: I will suggest you ask the school for further clarification and not take the words of the council for it. The 30hrs funding is from the government not the council as you're told. Steer very well clear of public funds . As far as UK.gov is concerned, schools are only completely free when a child reaches the compulsory school age irrespective of immigration status . 3 Likes |

mizGene: Good to know it is sorted now. Cash for grabs For those not yet on PayPal You can sign up using this link and you get £10 when you spend £5 https://py.pl/gaNlT Also for anyone looking to snatch up some £££. There are a variety of traditional banks offering hundreds of pounds to switch to them. Note, you may have to have 2direct debits(dd) to qualify for the switch or pay in some minimum amounts. For the HSBC advance account, you only need to pay in £1500+ initially to qualify for the £150 switch offer and if you don't have 2 dd, you can set up standing orders with your current bank account to qualify. 1 Like 1 Share

mizGene: I used Skipton building society back then but I think you might be better off with moneybox just because you can do more with moneybox. https://www.moneyboxapp.com/isa/lifetime/cash/ By the way, you can open your Lisa account with as little as £1 just to get it rolling and fund the account when you have your lump sum. This is especially beneficial to those lookin to use a LISA account towards their first home. You need to have opened the Lisa account for a year before you can withdraw the funds. Modified.. You need to fund it with £4000 before April if you want to get the max government bonus (£1k)this financial year. 5 Likes 4 Shares |

I'm back with my money saving or money making avenues. Good one on all the SIPP talk. Like someone said you can maximise your workplace pension by increasing the minimum contribution since most employers match the increase with a higher percentage. I went from contributing 3% percent for 2% employer's contribution (on auto enrolment) to contributing 6% for employer's 12%. For anyone looking to save/make some cash whilst spending, utilising TopCashback when you shop online is the way to go. You essentially get cashback on items purchased from legit UK retailers . If you go through TopCashback website to retailers website , you will earn cashback that goes as high as 20% or even more. You also get £10 on sign up using the link below https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/tinux Honestly though, in this 2022,keep your ears to the ground... We need to be making money and/ saving money so embrace every avenue that legally allows it . You can call me your Nairaland moneysaving expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 4 Likes 5 Shares |

seunoj: It is actually E-ON next, not E-ON( it is a subsidiary sha. Just click on the link in the initial post to get the £50 credit and the instructions on how to switch is there. Ensure you read all the fineprints and compare around to ensure you're on a great deal. Their rate is alright though. |

obalala: We were with Scottish Power too, and I'll say please leave as soon as you can if you're able to. I have said I will never use Scottish Power again even if they were the only energy provider left. It got so bad I reported them to ombudsman but unfortunate to learn they sponsor ombudsman so that's where their loyalty was, Hence the matter wasn't resolved. Was on the brink of suing them before they eventually sorted our issue. To switch just click on the link in my initial post, insert your details to get a quote,.If you're happy with it, EON-NEXT will start your switch process. You won't have to do anything. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Hello, How's everyone doing? How's everyone gearing up for the increase in bills come April? Anyway, for anyone looking to switch energy provider, you can join E-ON NEXT. They have a good rate, and if you sign up with my link, https://share.eonnext.com/iron-wren-281 you get £50 credit towards your bill. With energy prices going exponentially up come April, if you can, you should switch now. 1 Like 1 Share |

careerwoman: I think Justwise is making a case against visit visa and not people with residency status . The point is if you're on a visit visa you're banned from the country (no option to self isolate /pay 2300 quarantine fee) so your place of visa issue is put into consideration. It's a different case for UK residents as they are not banned, they are allowed entry but just need to pay quarantine fees but as long as they have not been in a red list country in the last 10 days, they don't have to pay. Modified You might still be able to enter the country using a visit visa irrespective of place of issue as long as you've not been in a red list country in the last 10 days. |

Lexusgs430: Good strategy! Thank you. I will keep that in mind. Aphrodite007: Fair enough. I wish you all the success in the next application,. It will all work out in the end, just keep a positive mind. Mamatukwas: I just started using it. I use it for Stock ISA..it is linked to my account so I set up a weekly dd that goes in to the stocks. I also took advantage of save the pennies which is diverted to ISA stocks. Nothing major with it. It's a UK market so quite unlike etoro. You can get cashbacks or offers if you go through the app to shop in selected shops. (a bit similar to topcashback) 1 Like 1 Share |

Aphrodite007:Sorry to hear about this. Hopefully it's for the best. Are there no other channels to survey beyond the talent acquisition? Hope everything works out for you. Stay strong and motivated. PS I always enjoy reading your post. 1 Like |

Myati: Hi lexus, thanks for promoting etoro here. I have just started investing and talking about alibaba, as at when this question was asked, it was falling at an exponential rate, I decided to seize it then-my regret is that I invested just a little, now it's growing rapidly. And Im learning everyday, I've made some wrong moves... But I'm quite excited about the prospect of growth. 3 Likes |

Lexusgs430: Hi lexus, I joined using your invite and I've funded but I'm a beginner in the world of investment. Does the green flashes indicate a good for buy or sell?i have copied a few but I'm also targeting some dipped shares now. What's your position on alibaba? Btw I'm in the field for the long haul so longterm investment. I am trying to educate myself in every way. I've always been scared or maybe a bit too careful in staking my funds but the bull needs to be taken by the horn now! |
