Susom: Is this the only nursery in your area... please check around. I don't imagine any nursery asking me to bring food for one year .... No power for such. Except its a must for you that he attends a sure start nursery.... if yes then sometimes my kids went to holiday clubs where I had to provide lunch so I did snack (crips, cakes, chocolate fingers) , caprisonne or a small juice drink and I made a sandwich...switch up the type of bread for variety and then ham, sausage ,tuna for filling, burger in the oven and put in a bread bun.. Yogurt some days.. He won't be able to take these to nursery(he eats lots of noodles, poundo ) ... noodles yes if he allowed hot food then you buy a small flask 1 Like 3 Shares |

Oh yes I am open to trying out new meals and not necessary traditional meals. He has been going to the nursery for a year for morning sessions and we all love it so why not. Meal prep for picky eaters is the absolute worst but mehn but if we have to do it, we do it. Thanks for the suggestions. LagosismyHome: |

SamReinvented: There was a post here on how you can get it faster, and it works cos I used the address as well. Apparently, you are sending directly to the processing office whereas the address on the envelope sent to you is the mail receiving centre, hence the delay. FAO Leanne Jones Head of Vehicle Input Service DVLA Swansea SA6 7JL. You could enclose an envelope for special delivery for safe return of tour BRP. I posted mine 31st Dec 2021 and received it 11th Jan 2022. 11 Likes 10 Shares |

Pijames: If you don't pay your rent then they will come and distrub the guarantor, so you hardly see a stranger agreeing to do such do finding one here might be hard Ask what are your other options if you don't have the two above so you can plan yourself accordingly 1 Like 1 Share |

Pijames: If you are a student, speak to your school they have provision for this. And if they have offered the total number for the session, then I think you can speak to the African student community in your school, I think they can help. If you are working (but not fully employed), speak to your employer, they can help or provide your with a means. Guarantor seems like a little big favor to ask from someone who don’t know you personally. I doubt if anyone will want to take up that responsibility. Also I think some Africans said something about their church helping. Not sure as I don’t attend one, but I am sure I heard that from someone. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

marylandcakes: Luton is rough, I’m part of the people living here. Lots of drugs, gambling, burglaries. Everywhere is just rough, maybe because I’m comparing to Newcastle oo… but I had to adjust my walk and dressing to avoid talk. The number of Junkies that will walk up to you and ask for money or drugs or smoke sef go shock you. On new year na so ambulance full everywhere, apparently some people had over partied and overdosed. And it’s dirty, you’ll see different types of vomit, shit, broken glass as you’re walking around. There are other cities to stay in UK, research can’t give you the full low down on a city/town before you move. You either see it yourself or hear from someone else. 3 Likes |

Is this wickedness or just greed. Trying to cut cost and poison people. Always learning how to spend less money when doing business. We can't even compare Indian restaurants or Bangladeshi sef. https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/1/uk-based-nigerian-restaurateur-fined-for-claiming-that-the-decayed-chicken-he-was-serving-is-a-nigerian-delicacy.html

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by justwise(m): 11:04pm On Jan 12, 2022 |
HollyMadison: What you saw in Luton or experiencing is not different from what happens in Newcastle town centre areas unless you don't get out on weekends or live close to town centre. You will not see such in LU3, 4, or 5 part of Luton. LU2 area mostly close to train station and beginning of high town road are rough areas. |

HollyMadison: I been to Luton a couple of times for one thing or another . I noticed there a lot of council houses and run down houses where I went... in UK there just seem to be a relationship between money and crime. The areas with loads of council or lower income people the more the wahala.... The lady I went to see stays in a council 3 bed house. I have never seen a house so run down like that house..... but Husband and wife said they don't want to work for anybody and are not aspiring to do anything, it's now the wife is trying to bake which she very good at.... But I don't understand how a naija man would say his wife cannot work for anybody and forbids her from working yet him too doesn't work. . But I digress However one of my boss stays in Luton and she said its a nice area so they have some good and very bad areas is what i think even if majority of the area is run down |
