The Shippers have been!
 
Well, the shippers have been and gone! Came on the Thursday morning, packed everything up and then came and finished everything on the Friday morning and then loaded it on to the container! Simples!

We used John Mason who were absolutely fabulous - would highly recommend. Very professional and worked very hard to get eveything into our 20ft container. The office staff were excellent too - answered all our questions very promptly.

Just 16 days til we fly! Just all those last minute things to do and of course all those goodbyes.

Enjoy the last couple of weeks. Hope it's not too emotional!

Thanks Alfresco and Moneypenny. I'm sure it will be too emotional as I have had a few "moments" already! :-( Inevitable though, I guess.

Thanks everyone. Said goodbye to my 3 best friends last night who I have known for more than 25 years! That was hard! Just 11 days to go now before we go - a few more goodbyes to get thru yet though! Not looking forward to all that as I am such an emotional person!

Oh I really feel for you Mrs E! I reckon this must be the worst part and I'm absolutely dreading it. Just focus on the moment you get on the plane and the goodbyes are behind you. Our one-way flights are booked for August and I'm sure the relief will be huge when I step on the plane having been through the emotional wringer in the weeks leading up to it.
Good luck with the move. x :)

Good Luck MrsE it looks like we are finally going to make the move this year. Got loads to sort out and best of all looks like OH has a job to go to!
