Shippers have been!
 
Hi everyone,
Well we are another step closer, the shippers came today. Not sure how I feel at the moment seeing our few boxes leave in a van. I hope they look after my books.
Hope we haven't jumped the gun a bit as we still haven't exchanged, :eek:
Our buyers are in regular contact with estate agent and they are just waiting for Northern Rock to issue the offer. Having spoken to my dad who is and IFA, I feel reasured that the sale will go though as buyers have paid all fees up front. Plus he says that Northern Rock are snowed under with applications at the moment but we would have heard by now if they were being turned down. Well that's my news for now.

Whew - good to hear that someone else is in the same boat. We are hoping to complete soon and our stuff will be going into storage. We also don't have out visa and are praying it arrives VERY soon.

We did the same! Our stuff was packed up beginning of Jan and left a month later, but we didn't have the visa then. figured that having had the go-ahead from TRA, a clear meds/police check we should be ok......luckily we were.

Not long for you guys now!! :D

Hi Jude,
We are living in Gwent, but the comapny we used have offices all over. We used Bishop's Move and took to them instantly. We ended up shipping 27 cubic feet, plus telescope and one tool box at a cost of £395 plus £60 insurance. http://www.bishopsmove.com

Did I tell you I'm psychic? :D It's weird because I told everyone at work that we'd be leaving on July 8th but instead we got the visa on July 8th. Then Vanessa has had the number 19 in her head for a few weeks. When we try to work out when we'll get passports back from AHC and can fly ..... 19th July :eek:

Hi Sarah

Absolutely chuffed to see you are on your way. But your biggest celebration will be for the day you leave work ;) When do you finish? Wishing you all the best luck in the world and I hope that Australia will be very kind to you and Andrew and make you as happy as you deserve to be :)

Hi Sarah, a little closer now and it looks like the exchange should take place. Just think of your last day at work and how good you'll feel knowing you'll never have to step foot in that place again, and while you're in the sunshine they'll all be stuck in a classroom being miserable :D :D

hugs mandi x

Seems a bit weird at the moment as we don't have flights or somewhere to stay booked yet. We are waiting until that all important exchange is done and dusted.
