Re: Nearly Homeless....................
Hi Gillian,
We got ALL (apart from 3 peice suit) of our 5 bed house into a 20 ft container, including 2 double beds 1 single and 1 double bed settee 1 single bed settee. Fridge, freezer, washing machine tumble dryer...... there were a total of 160 boxes!! I must admit I wasn't convinced it was all gonna fit, the house was FULL of boxes ......but it went in AND with some spare room, we even added a few things that we weren't going to take!!!
Had a great laugh with the guys from CROWN awell, I can recommend them

Had butterflies when the container arrived today, but was fine when it left
Too exhausted at the mo to feel anything and got a right sore throat 
I didn't have to strip down for my medical, just took blood, did Blood Pressure, weight, height, eye test, and urine sample. I'm sure you'll be fine

Re: Nearly Homeless....................
Hi Gillian,
Just got back online after the shippers cleared the living room!
We have fitted the contents of our 3 bed house into the 20ft container, however we have only taken a double bed (we have given the others away since there are only the two of us), but I have taken a garage full of tools instead. Looking at the container we could have shipped the two extra beds since there is a heck of a lot of space left.
I guess we looked at all of our stuff and didn't consider the fact that once it is packed into uniform sized boxes it will fit into a small space - we did flat pack anything that could be taken apart (and hopefully re-assembled!).
You might get a different answer from Mrsdevillishdean, they have three people to pack for!
Good luck
Hooch & Lol (very soon to be homeless)

Many thanks for that info. We weren't going to take everything but looking a prices on various sites we will be able to make use of all the furniture for a while, then we can replace as and when we want rather than having to rush out and buy everything straight away.
