Can anyone give me any tips for moving my belongings back to the UK? My problem is really that I have way too much to get it on the plane... both weight and actual size... but there's too much for a removal lorry, as I am not talking about furniture. I think with careful packing you could cram my gear into a family car... except I dont have a car. But as I have items such as a television and a guitar, it's not something I can do just with suitcases - had wondered about going via ferry. So does anyone have any suggestions?
I am looking to go from Sweden back to the UK. Well, its not really even definate, just something I am wondering about vaguely so I thought I would look into the possibilities a little.

I had the same problem from the UK to Italy and in the end I solved it by sending it throught the mail. It came as a surprise to find I could do it (especially since this included a bicycle which turned up at the post office in the Italian village to much surprise).

Is that an option?

How about taking the train? Or renting a car?

Sorry to hear you're leaving, by the way

Oh, I'm not!!! I know this post is a bit random. I just wonder about moving back to the UK sometimes as things are not going so well here - shall not go into things here -

I don't think the train would be an idea for the amount of clutter I have. And the post?!?!? Wow, I didnt realise you could send a bike through the post! How do you go about parceling it up?

TV's are so cheap to buy that I'd sell it secondhand and just buy a new one when I got to England. I've moved house 14 times and twice internationally and usually just have a good old clear out and give things away to friends and family. Ebay is another alternative for culling your household goods and at least you'd make a bit of money.

I would advise just making several trips in that case...Ryanair is cheap, so it's a viable idea.

Good luck with everything
