The guy dey charge me £60.....60 kini, na so i enter Facebook market, find £10 correct cordless drill, enter wilko bought the kits and tv hanger. I tell madam to prepare pounded yam in the morning for strength. By afternoon we're already charged up. Na so i begin DIY work.

Hello folks, 3rd month in the Uk, recently got a job (to be starting soon), however, my major income is still in Naira from my Naija business, and the exchange rate is worrisome, should I still keep the naira savings in Nigeria 🇳🇬 or I should start converting to GBP irrespective of the rate. Need experienced advice please. Thank you. |

It depends on your expenses in the UK. If your new salary can cover it, then by all means preserve what you have in Nigeria by investing in mutual funds to earn some interest higher than normal savings account. But if you feel the naira savings would be at serious risk of depreciation, then try to move them over. adekzy: 1 Like |

adekzy: I asked this question on the money market thread and recommendation is to convert There are no indications that the exchange rate will improve as we have not done even the basics and probably won't do it Best would be to convert a sizeable % and observe over time ![]() 1 Like |

Hello everyone, I got a letter from the council for council tax and I’m wondering if people pay as high as £188 each month as council tax. I was living in a serviced apartment with bills included so this is my first contact with bills. Also as a student, I learnt I should either be exempted or pay a reduced rate. My husband is working fully though. What next steps can I take? My second concern is the letter that was shared some days back about overworking. I registered with two agencies and because shifts are not that stable, I can get one shift from each agency per week. I’m aggregate, it’s two shifts per week but both are 12 hours shift. I have been concerned that this does not affect my PSWP application. Can anyone share their thoughts

For the council tax. You’re not supposed to pay a dime. Email this message to your council and they will grant you full exemption: On this, I helped draft the email below and so far, I have had 100% success rate from people I shared with. Let the student send this to the council ccing the partner. Good evening, My name is xx, a full-time international student at xx University and my partner's name is xx. I reside at xx. I had initially requested a council tax exemption as a full-time student but was told my partner is a liable party for council tax because he is not a full-time student. We received the attached bill to this effect for the period xx 2022 - xx 2023 wherein it was split into xx equal installments. However, Article 3 of the council tax (Exempt Dwellings) Order, SI 1992/558 provides that 'A dwelling is exempt from council tax if it falls within any of the following Class N: a dwelling which is either: (a) occupied by one or more residents all of whom are relevant persons; (b) occupied only by one or more relevant persons as term time accommodation. A relevant person means: (i) a student; (ii) a student's spouse or dependant being in each case a person who is not a British citizen and who is prevented, by the terms of his leave to enter or remain in the UK, from taking paid employment or from claiming benefits or (iii) a person to whom Class C (school or college leavers) of regulation 3(1) of the council tax (Additional Provision for Discount Disregards) Regulation 1992 applies. From the foregoing, please note that I belong to category a(i) I am a student and my partner belongs to category a(ii) he is the spouse of a student. We are both non-British citizens and his visa prevents him from claiming benefits. Subsequently, we qualify for the 100% council tax exemption. Furthermore, please see below links citing cases whereby 100% exemptions were granted to student dependants by the Court: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/5a8ff72860d03e7f57ea8dcf/amp https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/local-government/65852.article We look forward to your kind response..

adekzy: My advise would be to convert and if you want to keep your savings back in Nigeria or bring to the Uk fine, Just make sure you convert. What ever gains you make on naira investment would be wiped out with forex conversion. So time to change your funds was yesterday, just keep what ever recurring expense/overhead you have in naira and change the rest. 1 Like |
