obalala: Let me use our situation to give you idea I work in healthcare too so have no fixed shift pattern, could do 2 days day shift here, nights another couple of days and off. I encouraged hubby to get a support worker job pending when he is able to sort out his profession registration. He told his employer his needs his shift to be worked around his childcare needs, so what happens is that since I get my rota in like 1-2 months in advance, I print it out and he gives it to them at work and they make his rota using mine. That way, we never do same shifts on same day, one of us is always off to be with our daughter. Another thing is for you guys to try and make friends with people who have young kids so that you can baby sit for each other or at least find out how they deal with their child care needs. £250 per day on childcare for 18k/year job is just too much, doesn’t make any sense if you ask me. We also have have a grandma that a sister in church introduced to us who also helps. So on days that I wanna go do extra hustle (agency ), I would normally drop my baby with her on my way to work ( I do only nights for agency), my hubby will pick her up on his way home from a day shift, that way she spends maximum 3-4 hours with her for the day. Grandma charges just £10/day and she is so good with my daughter that if my daughter doesn’t see her for like 2-3 weeks, she literally somersaults in excitement the next time she sees her. She bought her the very first birthday present for her 1year birthday. She would give her from snacks in her house on days that my daughter would refuse any of the food I packed her and when I come in to pick her up, she would show me and say I gave her this and she ate it very well, may be you can buy that for her. My girl is a very picky eater! 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Lexusgs430: Haa baba lexus if he packages and prepares well he has a 99% chance oh. Obalala i would suggest yu dont lay emphasis or even mention *fee months experience in Nigeria* when u apply for jobs. Just think of the projects you worked on and try to quantify your achievements. Then also do ur gap analysis on your knowledge of tools and softwares. Ensure u are on par with the uk market. Nd as baba lexusgs highlighted, work on your confidence…packaging matters alot sir. Take a shot, don’t allow yur analytics skills go down the drain. Humble opinion from a little girl� 6 Likes |

Domistic: I use binance p2p. P2p is good but you just have to be careful. Early this year some of the guys buying coin will go and report to their bank that they mistakenly sent money to your account then the bank will start processing refund for them. When your bank contact you, you can’t say it’s crypto. Story go full everywhere. I had one Ghanaian verified merchant who told me about the trick, he lost some money. Someone tried it with me and Revolut. I quoted all the personal information protection rights and financial service rights I learnt in one of my cyber security classes. I even threatened Revolut that I was gonna report them and personal investigate their service. Last last Revolut refunded my £640. After 1 month they sent me a mail that they are sorry they won’t be able to offer me their services again And they gave me 1month to transfer my money from their account for them to close the account. I used everything I learnt in security class for them. The process took almost 3weeks. 1. When using p2p here in the UK, only use merchants with high number of transaction and also high % completion rate. For example, someone with 300 transaction and 96% completion rate is a good merchant because for you to satisfy 300 people no be small (mind you for Nigerian p2p look for people with thousands of transaction). 2. Try to use same person or max two people regularly. Don’t change people sending money to your account to avoid your bank investigating. Remember only business account get payment from different people all the time. 3. Try to do max one or two transaction weekly. That way it looks like you get paid for a particular service you render weekly or for a job. You can be keeping all the USDT you want to send and send them once (like on Mondays or Thursday’s). To avoid getting cash trapped, when you need more money, you can do it like paying yourself weekly. So you have extra even when you don’t need the money. Then the days you need more, you won’t be stuck. 4. When transacting with any one avoid either you or the person stating that the money was for crypto sale or using any crypto related terms. By these I mean the reference for the transaction. Use simple things. To avoid your bank closing your account. Easy way is if you have a Revolut account, use Revolut merchant so that when there is an issue it’s just Revolut investigating mr A and Mrs b since both are their customers. To be honest issue no de de for same bank. I think na the ones wey I fit remember for now be that. Best of luck. 8 Likes 7 Shares |

Chreze:Nice one. I had a Nigerian guy underpay me some months ago. He paid 10% of what he was meant to pay, luckily I was able to easily verify from my account. When I contacted him, he feigned ignorance but later let slip that he didn't have enough in his account when he was trying to pay me the balance and so he will have to pay me from another account. Another tip I learnt is not to accept payment from a different account to that verified by the merchant on Binance. This is so that they don't use someone else's account to transfer the money to you, leaving you liable to pay if it was unauthorise by the person. If they do that, ask for a reversal after raising it with binance. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Domistic: I had a very bad experience with binance p2p, some merchants are not to be trusted, especially when dealing with big amounts. Just be careful and I think banks like monzo, sterling are better than high street ones. |

Lool not confident yeah.. I'm self trained and sat for certification and only 2 months+ physical working experience I don't think that is a crime chief .. I actually got an NHS job in Scotland as an information analyst( a softer cushion into data analyst role) while applying from 9ja but my wife got a better medic job package. Presently my job search for info analyst is limited to Southampton and no job openings as at yesterday. That is why have I been considering starting with anything or just child caring at home Lexusgs430: 3 Likes |
