    At last!

    At long last I found a fulltime job with overtime in a factory. I had a call from the factory that I will start on Monday so I need to file my resignation tomorrow with my present employer.. At the same day, I had a call from another company offers QC job but need to wait until friday.
    To all JOBHUNTERS, just be patient applying until you got the job that will suit you. But don't be picky on your first job so you can earn friends and dosh. I started as Housekeeping Assistant and earned friends and money which helps a lot. And it's great because I learned how to put DUVET cover sheet with myself alone. This will be my 3rd job and wish I could enjoy the job

    GOODLUCK !!!

    Good things come to good people - and to everyone who is willing and wants to work, sometimes it just takes a little time.
    Congratulations

    Thanks Mark!
    Now I believed with that manager who conducted my interview. He said I maybe hired because he heard that Filipinos are HARDworking

    I wouldn't complain about £7, if you get something as basic as 100 Co-Proxamol, they'd cost you £80 off the shelf at drug company prices. One of the treatments I'm looking at is £5000 a year for 3-4 doses.....bargain if it's only £7

    Congrats, idol! You're an inspirations. Am back to searching and job hunting. May good Lord help me.

    To right and most pharmists will advise you if the medcine is cheaper to buy either at boots for example or off the shelf. If unsure just ask them to make sure

    Ohh, funny how sometimes I love doing 12 hours not because I enjoyed it but its an overtime and a lil bit extra money as I normally worked 8 hours a day.
    There is always death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.

    Congrats to you Penny. Surely it will make your day everytime you remember those noise coming out from hotel rooms everytime you walk by infront especially those guest who check-in with people you think are their partners, yun pala escort, and that the people who do this are businessmen.
    Enjoy your new job.

    Enjoy your new job.
    That was my job before KENTISH, but not in Hotel It was in a Caravan Park. We worked as a team compose of 4 women. When I arrived UK, I used to walk down to the beach as we live closer to beach, then, I have noticed there are 3 CARAVAN PARKS and I tried to knock their office door and asked if they need a staff/ worker. Then luckily they have offered me a housekeeping job. It is just 20-30 yards away from home so I grabbed it ahahah I started the next day, then while I was connected with them, I continued hunting other job, I got another job after 3 months in a factory but still not happy. It was too far from home, 15 miles. Again, I found this 3rd job, I like overtime, and I think, OVERTIME is my LOYALTY for the meantime.

    To ALL who greet me, THANKS ! Hirap talaga kumita ng ££££

    Penny congratulations girl on your new job, its nice to see foreigners coming to our disunited kingdom and paying Class 1 National insurance contributions and general income tax.

    Dont worry, at present marriage is not rewarded in the tax system, but whe get rid of this shower that is runining our country, you will be rewarded for being married in your pay packet, but the good news is, your Class 1 contributions and those of your employer will stand you in good stead for your Pension in retirement, plus you will get the 2nd state pension based on your earnings throughout your life time.

    The other good news for recently arriving Filipina spouses, is that hopefully in the Governments white paper, should it be ratified by parliament, you will only have to have 30 qualifying years to claim your full state pension after 2010.

    But as Keith says, you are doing quite well, your taxes are much needed because we need to have cruise missiles for our Trident Nuclear Submarine fleet, they are needed to fire across the desert and up a camels ass.

    Your £80.00 a week tax helps...thank you for that.

    Gordon will thank you, he wants more of your money, so that he can spend it on what he thinks we all need.

    About your prescription charge of £7.00, wow is that what it is now ? that just shows you how long it is since I had one, my wife had a presription last year, it cost me £29.00 for all the items on the form, she nearly collapsed from the shock...she was all the time Reklamo...I jus told her thats the way it is...but please honey not to be sick here in UK.

    Because if you go to a hospital, you might die on entry from MRSA or C Difficile, I also told her to get treatment in Bacolod City if she can, I always try not to get sick in UK, best to get sick in Philippines, where they have Doctors you can see same day, not having to wait 1 week for an appointment, when you pay £300.00 a week in Income tax, and Class 4 national insurance contributions, its a bit of a tall order when you are turned away from seeing a Doctor because quote "You have moved address"

    Sometimes Penny its better to go into a pharmacy and ask them about certain conditions that may prevent you from having to see a quack, here in UK the maximum time they are allowed is about 7 minutes a patient, I try and avoid Doctors surgeries here in UK, they are depressing and the receptionists are little horrors (jobsworthy's) whose job it appears is to prevent you from seeing a Doctor when you need it, why else would you take time out of your schedule to see one, I feel sorry for those people who commute into London to work, and cannot take time out to see a Doctor when they need it.

    The system is a disgrace and is in bad need of reform, but until we get rid of this shower of socialists, the system will only get worse, so Penny I wish you well in our country, its not perfect I know, but its the best that we cann offer you right now....

    Best of Luck.

    so who would you put into power peter ? their all the same, i never saw tony blair in a tank, unlike thatcher the milk snatcher ! . what else is left for the tories to sell off ? she sold the sliver off to the fat cats years ago. at least the labour party brought in the minimum wage, and the tories said it would cost 100,000s of jobs and they kinda got round to banning foxhunting , what did the tories ever do ???

    Labour didn't reverse the Tory cockups, and the Tories will do the same.

    Anyway, if you live in Scotland or Wales, you get more stuff for free

    I never look at tax as being mine anyway, that is how the economy works, and besides, you don't pay tax on gambling profits
