best way to transfer money

[fred]

We use the PNB europe method too..I dont think there is a cheaper or more reliable/fast way??

Found out the other day that Nationwide debit card can be used in any country completley free of charge..I think we will just use this method when we move.. Any negative side to using this service long term abroad?
Only 6 months to go!!

With using a brit debit or credit always make sure you ask for a note to be put on the account details with the company reagrding where it maybe used. To stop any anti fraud/theft system denying or freezeing the card.

Hi Joe.. (where have I heard that before?)

1) I have tried to get work there in the past but I was flogging a dead horse of course!
We took a big gamble a couple of years ago by building an 18 door apartment block in Cavite..(still not completely finished)
Since then I have advertised it to death all over the Internet which has seemed to pay off.
We've got twelve units finished and rented by Brit and US expats and fiancees etc and the demand is greater than supply at the moment.
I was very surprised.
When all units are rented that will produce over P100 K a month.

We also sold our house last year and due to the price boom gave me quite a nice sum.
With rising interest rates That`l give us about £750.00/850.00 a month in interest (tax free).
However with 2 youngsters and a teenager to educate we are gonna need a reasonable income.

2) I was thinking of getting a residence permit (13a visa) and still not sure whether to get it here in the UK or over there..
I`ll probably do it there as I will have 2 years breathing space, what with 1 years balikbayan and another year of extensions. After the 2 years we will probably go over to Australia for a months holiday which means I can get another Balikbayan on the return leg.

but we're thinking of moving over there soon..

I`ll get the first case in!!

thanks for the info FRED,
the joebloggs, you might might not know, Keith being a famous Manc fan does know is a well known clothes brand from Manchester, where i live it advertises "manchester home of the legendary Joebloggs", also has the other meaning of a normal (non scouser person!)


wow yes, looks like you did the right thing, me my wife and kids want to live there, well my 17 yr old stepson, hes been in the UK only 2 months he wants to go back to philippines already, and makes my think why i will be applying for ILR for him in April !!!. thing is i carnt afford at the mo let him go back...

My friend married a Japanese gal a few years ago, after living here for near 2 years, they went back to the land of the rising sun, it took him near a year to find a job, he now teaches english to adults in a school... have you thought of teaching Adults?, i suppose the demand is not as high in pinoyland, what with being 3rd biggest english speaking country in the world.


as for Aussie, thats another place i thought of going to, iam sure Keith would help pay for my ticket !! hahaha, my wife is a doc registered in philippines, but working here in the NHs as a bloodsucker, she takes blood from patients, its only 5hrs aday, if she takes her REgister exams she can work as a doc here in the Uk, but i dont think they pay for a doc in Oz or new zealand is anything like the pay here, and i've got big debts to pay off b4 we can do much..

oh am waffling on lol,
i really wish you the best when you go, yes you sold your house the right time, iam sure the housing bubble is gonna pop soon, the prices cannot keep gonig up, they have to fall or wages have to greatly increase, alot people are gonna be in deep if it, and when it does, borrowing 5 times there annual PAY !!!

thnaks again FRed..
