Well Thank goodness thats all over with.....The removals have finally lifted packed and wrapped everything, and all we are left with are some odds and sods.

We decided in the end to use a firm called Whites, At the moment I can't complain about the service, it has been top notch.

I also took the advice given to me with regards to our electrical goods, and put fliers around the neighbourhood etc....and we've basically got rid of most of our goods, so thanks guys.

Now just basically waiting for our eldest to complete his exams, then we're off...a new life to look forward to, and a new house to admire.No job to go to yet, but I guess something will turn up...Not really bothered what I do to start off with as I've resigned myself to starting at the bottom again, should be relatively easy all i've got to do is imagine that I'm 18 again.

Anyway guys I'll keep you posted and I'll post some pictures of our new life soon.

Good luck to you ALL.
Regards
Frankieforehead

p.s. It's been really ****** stressful.

Good luck you lucky b*gg*r. I'm so jealous of your time line for this year - can't work out why ours appears to have stalled. Enjoy Canada!!!

May I be the first to wish you all the very best. You must have a real mixture of feelings at the moment seeing your British life all packed up like that.
You are obviously a great optimist and will make things work for you and your family.
I'll have a beer in your honour whilst watching the footie tonight!

Cheers, Tim

Whites are good, used them when moved to NS in 1995, you'll be fine with them. If you don't mind me asking what was the rough cost of shipping? Are you taking big items? We have Crown coming next week for a quote. Cheers
