Default Home in 10 weeks!!!!!!!!!!

Ok guys, got a date for leaving now. We hand over our rental on 30th April and are heading over to Sydney for a few days (little 'un has wanted to see the harbour from the day she saw 'Finding Nemo'!) and fly on to Blighty on Sunday 3rd May (home in time for my birthday on the 7th ).

Understandably loads to do and lots of number crunching, so first job - shippers . Need to get 3-4 quotes in, so those lucky buggers already at home - who should I call and who shouldn't I bother with?

Cheers all!

Hi chuck!!! 10 weeks too long lol.

You will enjoy Sydney, it's great seeing the Opera house and harbour.

By the way, did you have a quote from Kents? if you did be very careful with them!!! they rip you off AFTER the written quote. Both me and sandrainaus got ripped of an extra $800. What they do is give you a quote, then when your stuff sets sail, they ask for more money due to the exchange rates. You have to pay it or you end up not getting your furniture. Grabbed by the balls big time.

Oooh, thanks R, will bear that in mind! Has anyone else has similar experiences?

OH and I have both been to Sydney before (me some years ago and him quite recently with work) it's just Ruby who's never been - I think she may get very excited

Oh James, glad to have been of any help. Glad you liked Northampton also, although I'm not originally from there, I have lived there for the best part of my years and have a soft spot for it Where did you work? I'll post pics when I get back.

How lovely of you James, I think you may have made my day

We worked fitting kitchens and bathrooms since the early nineties so knew it well from the Hunsbury estates to Kingsthorpe. I just found the "locals" mostly friendly,genuine and warm and always enjoyed working there. Yes post some pics of your favourite spots, James
