Don't remind me how hard it is shopping with kids :scared:
and we only had to buy a few things.

Re: Removals - what do you wish you had left at home?
I wish we'd decluttered the loft more but that's about it ! As for what I wish I'd brought - my sofa (you forget that it has to be ordered when you get here, we have another 7 weeks to go without one), my dyson (couldn't be bothered to clean it and have paid $700 here because of that), my cleaning cloths.
Oh no, I wish we hadn't brought our oven - all of the houses we've seen have built in ones so it's sitting in the garage !

Those of you who have already made the move - what do you regret taking with you?
I've read that the TV may not work, mattresses are £150 to move so you may as well get one once you arrive. Is there anything else which could be a waste of time?
Cheers

The cost was around 3500 pounds to ship our stuff and to be truthful - the amount of cd's in value outwieghed the cost - let alone any of my books. Then there are the personal things like photos etc that is before you begin on furniture.
