This shipping agent doesn't charge by weight, you just fill up the bag with anything and he charges you £50.

Sounds interesting. Would like to know more please. Will send you a pm. Thanks.

These people are based in London(Essex Rainham), I know they pick up in London, your best bet is to phone them and enquire.

I do £4 to Lagos and £5 to Abuja. Delivery to your door. No minimum weight charge. You either send to us in Enfield or we arrange paid pick up. Pickup is free for really large shipments.

Please how can I contact you. I need this agent

I've already placed the number on the thread.

Disclaimer notice: I've no business connection with this agent, I've used them to send stuff to Nigeria and a couple of my family and friends have too. That's the only reason I recommended them.

For student who want to save money then Aldi or Lidl. Things are cheaper there .

Brioche isn't that bread too sweet ... you can easily spot Johnny-just-come tongue. You still have sweet mouth from naija. You dont want to join brits and eat tasteless regular bread

For those interested in holidays and new comers like me, I was recently introduced to this sun holiday promo,where you gather like 10 codes from their January paper sales and get holidays for a group of 4 adult to cost at most £300.

This cost includes 4 night stay in a self catered accomodation and entertainment passes at any of the location u choose on the list. They have alot of good places on the list all around UK and Paris e.g Butlins and co..It's worth a try

Great info.... for those who have kids you can get Theme parks aka amusement park tickets this way. A lot cheaper than buying a day ticket

Do you know which holding scheme is holding your deposit?........

Yeah. Have login details and all.
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Inkredible(m): 6:36pm On Jan 24, 2019
Rubyventures:


Your landlord by law was supposed to have given your the information about the deposit scheme used not later than 3months into the tenancy, if he has failed to do this, you can legally claim back about 2 or 3 months (not sure) rent back from him.

She done that already. Na she go gimme back abi which level?

Lidl/Aldi......

Aldi has very low shelf life. Like you will see their produce spoiling and they won’t change it. Worse, people will line up and reach the door before they open another till. Where I am sha, I don’t know about your side
