i'm sure there are ways of getting to £18k6

not in my case--no way--i'm on state pension from next week---less than half the £18k---NOT that i'm complaining at all--in fact--i count myself fortunate---and i can manage on it.

the irony is--if my lady did get through the visa-maze--she could easily earn the full amount on her own. there are jobs here waiting for her.
