This was by far the worst thing and then the shitty insurance company trying to swindle us with stupid settlement values. We are still awaiting insurance cheque!!!

Oh, that's my worst fear. I'm sorry for you. Unbelievable bad luck. Thank goodness for you family. I don't understand how they managed to get into the container - don't they lock them???

Hell we've just done our list of the damage caused in our container because of it not being wrapped properly in the UK, £21,000's worth......the worst thing is some things can't be replaced! We were shipped by The Removal Group.Com and paid for their platinum wrapping service which we obviously didn't get!

Lol, oh yes they lock them. They are "sealed" and not open till they get here.
Robbers' bolt cutters did a good job on ours!!!

Tamsin, we had to get quotes for the cost of equivalent items. It was really difficult to find en equivalent of some of our items. Also, we only had 30 days from delivery here to report stolen or damaged items. After that, they were not interested. Mind you, you can see what is broken. I am still "missing" items even now.

Brilliant name!!

I like gardening - so made a bit of a boo boo with Alberta then

I also joined a choir (not churchy, just a singing group) which I really enjoy.

I studied a Master Gardener's Course last year too.

It's actually been great to take some time out, just for me - but I do seek respectable employment again nowadays. So I am currently temping which is actually pretty enjoyable too. We'll see!
