shipping - only need to take a small amount, how do we do this
 

Hi,

have been reading about people paying for a 20 ft container, we need to ship the equivilent of about 6 tea chests. We are not going to bother with furniture.

Has anyone just shipped a small amount like this and how much did it cost. This will mainly be our keepsakes etc.

Thanks Tara

You need to phone some shipping companies and get quotes for a shared container.....I cant see it being much though....I would be interested to know how much also,as im not sure if were taking any furniture....

Try going to control panel -> Keyboard Properties -> Input locales - change, and check the keyboard is set on English (United Kingdom)

thanks for that but my control panel does not give me a keyboard properties option - bloody xp - bring back the comadore 64 or even better the sinclair spectrum, ahh well my dollar sign is working perfectly $$$$$$$ must be a good omen.

Try pressing 1 5 6 on the numeric part of your keyboard while holding down one of the alt-buttons.

IT WORKS IN THE UK!

I tried this

hold alt and keep holding down
press 1 then 5 then 6 and keep down
release all of them and finally you get a £ sign
