Shipping arrived at last!
 
Our stuff (part-container shipped by Crown) arrived in Hobart yesterday-collected in Carlisle on 6 Jan-no breakages as far as we can tell though and now the house looks like a bomb-site. I can't believe some of the stuff we brought...but our employer was paying after all.

yes-when we unpacked everything, we found the movers had carefully wrapped two empty cardboard boxes that we had inadvertently left with our cds!

Our container arrived Tuesday - we are finally unpacked and the house looks normal (for us) - but please dont look down the side of the house :o or open any of the wardrobes :eek: or look in the attic :scared:

Local shipping company coming back to collect remaining packing materials on Monday.
