Sorry to hear about hubby's job :(
Off on the moving trail you go again, but sounds like you are as ever organised and optimistic :)

Good luck with everything.

With 6 of us to pack up, thats a load of boxes!

Cheers....


:) Hope all goes well with your move hm ...... and that you hubbie finds work soon, have to say you have such a possitive out look on the whole move. Sounds also that you are happy with your childrens education !!!
on your return to the U.K.Do you think that you will ever return to the U.S?

Go to shops like Aldi and Lidl...they happy to get rid of all their boxes.
Best day for this are the days when they have their special offers on.
Also ask the supermarkets for banana boxes...they wonderful for transporting books...
I hope all goes well.
Will move soon towards you to Northwood/ Hillington...not far from you..I believe :)

Look in your Yellow Pages any computer firms that sell and install PC's have no end of boxes they are desperate to get rid of and the monitor/tower boxes tend to be perfect and strong for moving (when I was in the UK we loved a mover calling us up as we had a helluva job getting rid of all the boxes)

Don't know if Curry's / Dixons (Do they still exist ?) etc do home delivery but if they do i bet they'll have loads of boxes spare.
