Container arriving on Tuesday!
Wahey - all my junk will be here early next week - can't wait to find out what I shipped as I have forgotten most of it!
Passed customs no problem and apparently all MAF want to look at are my golf kit (which has been scrubbed, steam cleaned and disinfected so if they find ANYTHING on it I will be gutted) and a coffee machine (which has never been used and is still in its packaging so they surely can't find anything wrong with that!)
I will let you know if everything arrives in one piece and what I think of Crown Relocations.

Wahey!
I know what you'll be doing next week. It's funny how getting all your junk cheers you up for a while. I'd been moaning about not having enough music to listen too whilst the record collection was at sea.
What are you looking forward to getting the most?
PS. Although we raved on about Crown, it was slightly premature.
They still had to collect the boxes, which is when they mucked us about.

After that CD's and my wedding photo of me and my Dad, I think.
The dog wants her squeaky elephant - the squeaky skunk i bought her here just doesn't cut the mustard apparently.
PS
I don't want to know (lalalalalala fingers in my ears lalalala)

Sky is right though, beware the homesickness. I still can't bring myself to open my photo albums with my sister's kids in. I have a few photos out, but I daren't look at the rest.

Hadn't though about the homesickness thing so thanks for the warning - should be alright though as I miss absolutely nothing from the UK except Frazzles, Jelly Tots and Robinsons Orange and Mango.

Message from Mr Pollster, Don:
Actually Villa have won 6 of their last 10 AWAY games which is bloody impressive if you ask me. And really their performances have been good since Christmas - so there.
"We are the famous, the famous Holte End!"

Pollster,
no mention of the new shirt yet, we'll be in the uk in june so no doubt he'll be smuggling one back (he has about 15 from over the years but i have never in 11 years seen him wear one thank god)
Hes too busy being excited about the fact that they're showing them live tonight on SBS!
Polly,
Good job it didnt come this week if it starts the homesickness cant help the shoe thing, though with todays weather I'm regreting leaving most of my boots and coats at MIL's!

Aww, poor old you Michaela. Keep smiling if you can, and remember you were a few weeks behind me in getting here, you're a few weeks behind me with the blues, so hopefully you won't be too far behind me getting your smiles back.
And remember - you've got a trip over in June haven't you; bet you'll have some wild nights with that mate of yours!!!
