Saved £3500..........
But almost cost me a nerous breakdown.
thats how much I saved by doing our own shipping, sharing with Larissa.
But and a big but. Learnt my lesson yesterday. Left Mick and his 2 side kicks , Toby and his brother to finish sorting the house.
I couldnt believe my eyes when I walked in last night.
Looked like all they did was open the cupboards/wardrobes and tip the contents onto the floor or bed.
It then took All 3 of them to waych the NTL engineer remove the boxes, they then realised:scared: that there were no aerials for the tv. So ALL 3 of them nipped off to Curry`s to restock.
Then my mum knocked, then my sister and her lovely but naughty twin boys knocked.
And I sat on the loo crying...............
get up for work this morning. I had left clean clothes, underwear, deodarant etc neat ly in the corner. he had `chucked`(his words not mine) the lot of it in a box, and put it in storage
He then wondered why I was bloody fumimg.........wearing lynx today (chhers Jake) and a pair of borrowed panties
Good job I am a size 10 eh

Sandra,
major hugs to you. I hope that the rest of the move goes so well and smoothly that you'll be able to see a funny side to this very soon. It will all be worth it when you get there...I'd just make sure that you supervise the unpacking.

Re: Saved £3500..........
thanks for the warning re packing - usually it is I who pack the suitcase for holidays, so he can keep his so called helpful hands away when it comes to packing the house contents away
keep us up dated on the whole process - it was not something I had considered until it was mentioned here. I'm all for saving money on things I can do equally well myself.
You have now got a good reason for him to treat you to new outfit and your last supplies of M&S undies

Hi Sandra
What a nightmare eh? Hope you have managed to get some clean keks, probably worth stocking up anyhow
Hope the shipping is going through OK, we are able to receive British Expat's pms and coming to the internet cafe most days, so pm me if you have any concerns...
Sorry to thread hijack, but we got an offer on the house yesterday, but it was 10 grand below the asking price... nice though, think it was a good idea to come away and just leave it with the estate agents.
Hi to Petra, Lisa, Hayleigh & Mandy too... looking forward to the 14th!
Larissa
PS Am deffo getting some Phenigan for flight with sprog, he was a bloomin nightmare... we went with Swissair and they were great, best airline I have been with yet.

common get with the Aussie terms - thongs are worn on the feet, or are you saying that women should only wear panties, sorry, knickers and thongs and nothing else!?
