mex551: As always, the decision rests on your balance of priorities. I have someone who was faced with the same issue and opted to place 2 of his children in one school and the other in another school. He needed to get to work and couldn't deal with the option of leaving one child out while waiting for a placement. After a while of what he said was a lot of stress doing a school run in 2 places, the council did eventually place the last child in the same school with the others. On the other hand, I know someone in a similar situation who is still waiting. Lastly, in England, school meals are not free for all classes. In Scotland they are now (but tax in Scotland is higher than in England for the 3 upper tax bands). 2 Likes |

Hephzi04: Some landlords like to play smart. Shortly after I moved into my current house, I noticed my shower tray was cracked, I reported to the letting agent and they got back to me to say it was my responsibility to change it. Cost was £400 plus, I told them I couldn’t afford that. They wrote me back to say landlord wants to help me and would share the cost with me. He would be kind enough to have me pay monthly over a period of 12months. I came here and asked whose responsibility it was, I got different opinions on it but some mentioned googling private landlord something. I sha checked and it clearly stated changing baths, sinks and plumbing was landlord’s responsibility . I wrote them back to say advise on government website says it’s landlord’s responsibility, they said my tenancy agreement which I signed says otherwise. I emailed the private landlord and tenant body for my borough and reported it, they asked for my permission to take it up which I gladly gave. Well, my shower tray was changed in less than 2 weeks without anyone asking me to pay a dime whether as one off or monthly. 26 Likes 4 Shares |

Newbie123: I would say face your studies squarely, coming from a science background, Cell Biology and Genetics, University of Lagos worked for a big telecom company in Lagos, started my MSc Business with Business Analytics, Sept 2020, Northumbria University graduated Nov 2021, with a distinction, a mother of 2 boys. I moved with my family, the plan was to finish and apply for the PSW but my Husband got sponsored by the Telcoms company he was working for, he is a Specialist Engineer. I am currently working for Amazon as a Process Analyst. My take is, do not deviate from the purpose. 16 Likes |

mex551: That would be a heavy burden to feed every child till year 6 so as someone explained this stops at year 2 Some schools you pay about £2.50 to £3.50 per day to eat in school depending on the school. Alternatively you do pack lunch. |

Newbie123: I know a guy way back in 2009 who enrolled on a 1 year course in London. He only paid a deposit for his tuition from Nigeria and had the intention to work to pay off the balance. He worked legally and illegally in London, and paid off the balance of the fees. However, he ended up failing the course and also failed the resits as he had no time and energy to study. He has been living illegally in London since 2011 when his visa expired. It's much better to pay all the tuition fees upfront, and then work to pay accommodation and bills. It still wouldn't be easy and your final grade would get hammered, but at least, you don't stand a risk of getting kicked out of your course and your visa being curtailed. 2 Likes |
