The Movers Have Been & Gone
After 2 days they have finally gone, everything fitted into the container and there was even a bit of space to spare after they had added in several large pieces of furniture that i didnt really bank on taking.
Can thoroughly recommend pss thus far, they quoted for 750 cubic whatsits but i knew i had underestimated what we would take and then there was the baby equipment i went out and bought, so we plumped for the 20 ft general purpose container which takes about 1050 but i still thought we'd be pushing it, a local company who gave me a quote called me up 2 weeks ago to ask why we werent using them i said because we had received a cheaper quote, he told me there was no way all our stuff would fit into a 20 footer and i'd be left with half my stuff in the driveway, so fortunately i ignored him and saved myself £1000 on his quote.
only 3 and a half weeks of living in an empty house to go, mind you the dog is spooked, he obviously sences that he is next.

Ah yes, i didnt word that very well did i, my bit at the bottom saying he departs on nov 17th doesnt help much either, but no my old 4 legged chum isnt being sent to doggy heaven he is Perth bound in his box via airpets and qantas, but he doesnt seem best pleased about it and is stuck to me like glue at the moment.

I have been dealing direct with [email protected] and I cannot enthuse about them enough.
The two men arrived this morning at 7.45 worked solidly until 2.30 I made them stop for 15 minutes at lunch for fish and chips and they had their coffees on the run They have dome almost all of our 4 bedroom 2 garage house just a few 'B' list items and the beds we are using plus a microwave and TV and a few odds and ends of the kitchenware to pack and crate tomorrow and the container will reach us they said about 10.00 and they will pack it in 2-3 hours. Great staff and friendly with it. As Lynn says our house looks so bare with the parcels and packages around the place. We were also told it was a tight load for a 20ft which is why we have a 'B; list but I do think we will be OK Avalon quoted me for a full container load and a further 750 cu ft. so this is how they make their money I am glad someone came up on the thread about how bad Avalon was and so I ignored them. The other companies I got quotes from also advised tight load. We only have 1 and 1/2 days in this empty house now and then we are gypsies until Monday at 12 noon Heathrow here we come

Gotta agree with Lynn - we had PSS round just to find out exactly how much it was gonna cost us (we thought about £10,000) really had no idea - we also found the bloke stuffy but he knew exactly what was what so decided to use them (even though we got a long way off yet - just wanted to cost things up etc) Brilliant and quick to send estimate to reckons we should be ok with a 20ft (mind you we have aquired a few more things since then and decided to take Roberts castle and house from the garden) our quote for 20 ft was roughly £2,000)
Good luck Lynn Im gonna miss you when you go - we'll be looking forward to the stay in the garage when we come out!! - its ok Graham doesnt mind a cardboard box with Taz, Tessa & Pepsi!!!)
Drinks all round tonite as we GOT OUR TRA as well - after 6 looong bloody months (thats what happens when you marry a S African!!
Drinks for everyone tonite then

To be honest Mrs.Chippy is the type of person who will face it when I say to her, "right love we're going tomorrow."
Only then will the enormity of it all sink in. She is worried about leaving our eldest daughter (as am I) with a boyfriend who is a bit of a prick.
