Regarding kitchens what most prudent people do is go and get your design from wickes, bq, moben, etc then use that same design but choose your own workman. That way you can save more than 10k. Like what you have just done.

Selco sells decent modern kitchen furniture, at pocket friendly prices...........

@shawtykel

I empathize with your situation,no parent wants to leave a very young baby to go and hustle.

It must be very difficult and I'm sure you will make the best decision with the baby's future and that of your family in mind.

I started work when my baby was 4 months old,it was hard!! Family came in to help as much as they could at the time.I'm sure many people would have sneered at me at the time and called me irresponsible.

I still feel guilt sometimes but it has been for the best,to provide stability, emotional, mental, and a decent lifestyle as well.


No one really knows what a child will turn out to be,you can only do what you can.


You are the one in that situation,think clearly and strategically then do what you believe is best!!


I wish you all the best ,I assure you that things will definitely get better with time.











Thanks a lot sis.. God Bless you

A beautiful car to drive, the quirkyness + curves, are the USP..........

Toyota really spec'd this vehicle to the max, to compete competitively with other manufacturers offerings ......... cheesy

Fully registered.

Many have done it and it easier since you don't need filling compared to if you need for locumn .... initally you might hear we prefer UK work experience from recruiters but keep pushing the agency and once u see who give you the first opportunity as in work. From then you be getting more shifts and then roll full time. ... as long as you are open to go anywhere within UK for shifts. Also start registering with ID medical and many other locumn Doctor agency because some of them their registration can take time so start asap with that . ......

If you love a Nigerian easy life club, Cyprus Garden is a good place to go (off the A406).... Wood Green axis


If you prefer a rowdy Nigerian club setting, full of àwọn ọmọ wobe..... 042 would be ideal - (Leytonstone axis)...... . Nice music, lovely bass pump, but bumper to bumper..... Plenty men than ladies....... cheesy

Canning Town has really woken up into the 21st century.... Used to be a poorly invested Borough, things have really improved and now looks very modern.....

.....I'm a bit disappointed with Toyota swag, just go Lexus, why be indecisive about a toosh Toyota, all in all boring cars, without personality except for 100% reliability. Where's the fun in your car not breaking down at 11pm and you have to call roadside assist...where is their sense of adventure, in missing that appointment because your car broke down?!

i guess his wife is on tier 2, so he is her dependent....they have unlimited job restrictions unlike 20hr restrictions on Tier 2 visa holders....Very funny principle...One would think its the visa holder that needs to really be able to put in those hours

you can earn as much as 8k/month after tax when you get the hang of things...People work for 2 months and go on holiday for 1 month to blow the money and come back to the grind...lol

I would put my hand up and say all this tier visa applications, jumps over my reasoning.............

Your explanation seems to break it down better...... So the sponsor is restricted, but the dependent is not restricted.....

So sgtponzihater1 is good to go without restrictions?....
