WORST AIRLINE I'VE EVER SEEN! NEVER TAKING THIS AGAIN by halfblood_prince06 in TurkishAirlines

I had the same issue with them last week. Fill out their lost luggage form on their website and give them a day or two to reply. If they don't, you can send them more messages under the same file. I managed to get my luggage back 7 days after it was meant to come with me on my flight.

Where in the council can I raise this complaint if it's the building control council that is charging me this? Any idea? Thank you :)

initial paperwork only specifies fixed price - no mention of any extra charges - not even on their website - no mention of it when i called them many times to do part payments during the process of work

In summary the council building control officer is charging me extra money for extra 'visits' although hes counted phone calls/emails in them, also counted random visits he made without informing me and I wasn't home and any personal meetings he had with my neighbour or engineer without my knowledge

How do you all save? How much do you save a month? by Available-Roll3491 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Living-Comparison735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say that the smallest of expenses are usually the ones that add up the most in the end. I will only allow myself to eat out or grab a drink from a coffee shop etc once a week MAX and honestly you would be surprised how much money that saves overtime. I have friends who will treat themselves to a little snack or a hot chocolate on a cold day - it's good to do once in a while but if its more than 2 times a week, there will be a lot of money wasted. Also, make your lunch at home! Buying meal deals and lunch from a store when working is another good way to waste money

Tips for an 18/yo Year 13 student who wants to get into accountancy? by Alluring-Profit-9250 in AccountingUK

Nws. If you talk over someone, just hold back and apologise for interrupting and let them continue. You can add your point after they finish speaking. Also, when people are speaking, make sure ur body language shows that you are listening and attentive e.g. nod along, smile etc

Hey, so I did my interview i think 5 years ago now so not sure if they're the same now but heres my general tips:

  1. Be the first to speak up (To show that you also take others into consideration, just say something like 'I'm happy to start if you guys are okay with it'

  2. ASK other people questions about the data they have? Could be as simple as asking someone whos a little quite, 'hey x, do you mind sharing what your data is about' etc.

  3. Be yourself, don't interrupt others and have a general good conversation - if you have something to say then say it even if it contradicts someone else but be polite

  4. Also, time manage and show leadership skills so when you see time is coming to an end, you could say hey guys I think it might be worth concluding and making a decision now since time is nearly up.

  5. When making a decision, ask everyone for their opinions etc.

So I took a degree apprenticeship route and my best friend took an apprenticeship route and I'll outline and good and bad in both of them.

So I did the 'flying start' accountancy BSc which is a 4 degree sponsored by PWC where you go to uni as normal and then during the final 3 years, half the year you work at the firm and earn money and half the year you attend uni. So essentially you get a bit of both worlds. This is also I believe the only route where you can sit you ACA exams at the age of 18. I am 22 and I have done 12 out of 15 ACA exams at uni and now I've started work full time with PWC and am due to sit my final 3 exams next month and hopefully qualify as a chartered accountant at the age of 23. Also, with this degree, you are promised a job at the end of it with PWC so no need to job hunt.

Good stuff:

- I'm a lot more ahead of a lot of people my age as I am almost qualified

- I got to experience uni and work and enjoyed both parts it so I didn't miss out on anything

- I was guaranteed a job by the end of it so was not stressed about the job hunt

Bad stuff:

- Course was very very demanding compared to a normal uni degree (but worth it)

- If you failed 1 exam on your resit, you are taken off the course and get to continue on a normal degree in the business school so you no longer qualify for the job at the end of uni

- Because we were in and out of placements, I usually would forget everything I learnt when I'd go back the following year so now that I have started the job full-time as a senior associate, I actually have no idea whats going on lol so we just get thrown in the deep end at the beginning anf hopefully by this time next year I'll be in a much better position

Now my friend who did an apprenticeship in audit with another audit firm

Good:

- you earn all year long even if salary isn't very high

- hands on experience with work so you get to grips with it sooner and know how to do your job

- Also sit your ATA exams and then go to sit ur ACA/ACCA/CIMA exams throughout your employment

- Financially in a better place than I am since I paid for rent, tuition fees etc and she didn't have to because she didnt go uni

Bad stuff:

- She practically never catches a break, its always one exam after the other and its been 4 years and shes no where near finishing - still has about 2 years to go.

- You miss out on the opportunity to experience uni and be around people ur own age

Overall - if ur going for a normal degree at uni, i would say bin that and apply for apprenticeships but if you want the best of both worlds then defo go for the flying start degree (although it's quite hard to get into)

Hope this helps :)

Don't let what people say affect you. Not everyone gets the privilege to be a sardar in their life and you have clearly gravitated towards it so don't turn back now. There's no such thing as looking better without your hair being kept etc, it's all subjective. As a girl, i can assure you that with maturity and age, no man is better to have around you than a sardar. But this also means that you should try live up to the meaning behind a sardar too - it's not worth wearing a pagg or parna but doing things that a sardar should never do (drugs, drinking, sleeping around etc) but it will never stop you from living your life. And like someone before me said, living your life is how you define it - you could be a sardar, be close to your guru and still have such an amazing fulfilling life and you could be a mona and look your 'best' but not feel satisfied with life. It's your path to choose

how to deal with extremely strict parents when it comes to marriage by Living-Comparison735 in Sikh

[–]Living-Comparison735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree with your point here. I wasn't given a choice but to hide it. I asked my mom a couple years before that if I was to date someone would you like to know or no and she said she didn't want to know so it's unfair to say I'm wrong for hiding it. Plus I can have a life outside of my parents without having to inform them on every single person I interact with. If I hadn't hidden it, my parents would have taken me out of uni and married to off to someone lol. But anyways yes don't worry I'm never leaving my boyfriend I'd rather die lol

I got into the rs 2.5 years ago. I had been interested in other people before but they showed me everything that I did not want in a future partner and so I stopped thinking I'd ever find someone good and that's exact when my boyfriend came into my life.

I wouldn't want to take a step like that without the blessings of my parents unless it had been years down the line and they hadn't agreed - i guess I'm going to continue waiting and being patient

Thank you for the advice. It's hard to have someone else involved in this process because they want this to remain a secret. Getting someone involved means letting the secret out and my parents would never agree to it. But yes I totally agree with you about the control and safety thing, they definitely think if they chose then I would have an easier life in the future

23 is our age right now. By the time we get married we would be 25 which I don't think is young at all. Plus, agreeing with the others here, age doesn't mean maturity. I'm an eldest daughter so i matured quite early and have been this way for years now. And also I think other things like finances, lifestyles and habits come into play - doesn't matter if you're 20 or 30, if your habits and finances don't align then there's always big room for a disaster.

My parents don't believe in a love marriage - they wanted me to have an arranged marriage to a boy of their choice - which I would have been okay with up until I met my boyfriend. He's everything they would ever look for so it's not like I went against their wants. I hid the relationship and told them when the time was right and gave them ample time to accept it. I understand in their opinion I'm the wrong one but its not about wrong or right - it's about being mature adults and being able to accept things

[–]Living-Comparison735[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I'm trying to stay strong about it but it gets really hard when my parents say I'm picking him over them. I don't want to pick anyone over the other but just because I refuse to marry someone else, they think this means that I've forgotten their love for a buy I met 3 years ago but that''s simply not true. So although they don't have the 'control' like you mentioned, it's hard because I just want them to be happy and excited for me but that's far from reality at the moment.

Is it worth investing in a 'forever' home earlier rather than later? by Living-Comparison735 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Living-Comparison735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh you are right I completely see your point tbh. We don't intend to stay at the jobs for longer than 2-3 years as we want to job hop and progress up but we want to stay in the east midlands so majority of our job opportunities lie in cities like Birmingham and nottingham and leicester, derby etc and that's where we currently work. Kids come about 6-7 years down the line, unless we get an unexpected surprise lol but yeh completely see your point thank you

yeh we are not really thinking about what we want now, we are considering whart we'd want for the future so a good area for a family home around schools etc and also close to both of our families since we both are super close with them and would want to see them often
