Please what sort of rates can I get from Lemonade?
Don’t want to spend time to download lemonade and it turns out to be giving me shitty rates like Azimo (those days) or Ace ir SmallWorld or etc..
If the rates are not competitive, I kukuma stick with Omopapa and Mamatukwas

I used them today. 723 as opposed to 680 others were offering. I have a referral code you can use and we both get £20 Cashback

Let me know if you are interested �

Please how was the Lemonade finance for you? Is it worth trying?

From my experience, it's great. Funds were received in 5 minutes

Jesus Christ!!! I just noticed a letter missing on one of my kids surname. Surname is Obayuwana and the Wakanow guys typed Obayuana on the ticket. We are boarding Thursday morning. Is it an issue or any advice?

You may be trying to be funny but I find this a bit off. That warmth will be attached to an entire human being. Whoever answers this, I hope you get treated better than this let's on. Una well done o

Eskis ma. I wasn't trying to be funny. It is a figure of speech and it's very normal to use a section of something to describe it in its entirety. English people call it synecdoche. I really don't understand the point of your reply.

Hello everyone. We are trying to get a 2 bedroom apartment in Rochdale. However most are unfurnished. Kindly offer help on where we could get cheaper furniture such as bed, mattress and electronics like fridge and washing machine. I'm due to arrive on a dependent spousal visa and only wifey is going round looking for the houses.
Also for someone with USD notes in UK, how can one repatriate that back to Naija. The exchange rates at the post office and banks are terrible.

Tell her to go to thrift stores close to her. My partner got some household items from British heart foundation at good prices.
Also some Facebook groups give out stuff free. Just search for your area and add "free give or pass it on"

Charity shops.
British Heart Foundation is a good one that has a lot of stuff.
Before going on Facebook or Gumtree to buy secondhand white goods, make a comprehensive cost analysis compared to a new product. E.g. a new washing machine may be about 220 - 250 quid, but it comes with a warranty and delivery and you could get an inclusive installation quote. A second hand one on Facebook or Gumtree may be around 50 to 80 quid depending on condition, but you have to hire your own man with a van to transport it if you don't know anyone with suitable transport in your town, find an east European handyman to install it, then assume the risk that if anything is wrong with it you have to fix it (not cheap here) or dispose of it if fixing it is not cost effective, etc., etc.

Cars are understandable because of the cost. It's a personal thing to me. I like to buy new electronics because when you buy fairly used, you might end up paying more to fix it.

As an agency staff you can not officially complete a registration portfolio however if you familiarise yourself with the training officer(s) you can ask if they will be willing to let you do it at ur time while they mark it for you.

AirBay:


Thank you very much.

Still on the training matter undecided If I am employed through an agency as AP in an NHS lab, not direct NHS employment, Can I still complete this training portfolio during this period?
