what is the best way of getting on an aprenticeship in glasgow, preferably for accounting or administration? what is the money like? is it enough to live and rent a flat with? ta

I dont believe they do apprenticeships in these fields,they may do training schemes.either way the money wont be great for a few years. You will have to share a flat or maybe get a room or digs.Try your local job centre they should be able to point you in the right direction.Good luck

Me and my boyfriend live in Smalltownsville in Fife, Scotland and want to head for the grimy life of the city before we decide to settle down and have kids! London too expensive and Glasgow/Edinburgh too close. I want to rent a flat and be walking distance to everything city centre but in a nice area with parking. He is an artist and won’t go far living here and i am sick of having to travel to Edinburgh for a decent night out! Cheers.
i am doing this city thing for a year or so BEFORE i want to come home and settle down, not to move there and have a family! what is ancoats like? seen some nice modern flats there and also what about Salford Quays?
also, i can currently drive to Manchester in just over 3 hours so no point in living an hour out of town! thanks guys.

Salford Quays is very nice, but could be expensive, check out the rents first, go on Salford.gov

i am looking for a flat to rent i cant be bothered staying here in my house with my parents there always bugging me and in the flat i can relax do what i want instead of here price not to much im a student

As a student with no guaranteed income beyond your student loan, few landlords are going to be willing to let a flat to you unless you can come up with a guarantor – somebody who will agree to be legally responsible for paying your rent if you can’t or don’t. It’s also very unlikely you’d be able to afford to live on your own on a student budget. Have a look at rental prices in your area: http://www.findaproperty.com

Your best option is to look for a room in a shared student house, or find some flatmates you could look for a place with. If you don’t know anybody who you could move in with, the student services department at your university usually keeps a list of landlords who rent rooms to students, and if you look on notice boards at university you’ll often find ads from other students looking for a new flatmate.

My girlfriend of 3 months has dumped me. Is it because I am asking too much? I am 30 years of age. I have a good job with a high 6 figure salary. 3 cars (2 sports, 1 business). I have 3 houses which I own. 1 in New York, 1 in Manchester and 1 in London. Also a flat that I rent in Glasgow. When I am with a girl I expect to treat her as I treat myself. I go holidays regulary. I do spur of the moment things like fly to Paris for a candlelit meal. I love sports and like my girlfriend to keep in shape. This girlfriend do not like the way I make decisions, ie last minute. I booked 2 tickets to Italy last minute. When she said she couldn’t go I told her to quit her job and I would support her……that was the end of that.

Any ideas?
Any women looking for a man, LOL?
