Going out on my own (in April), but have Friends & a few members of family out there already.

Sold me house, currently selling everything that is 'big' on ebay, hoping to get my entire worldly contents down to 5 big boxes which I'll then ship over via voovit.com for £200ish.

Wish me luck !! Tis scary going on yer own !!
