Well the container left today. Well done to John Masons, there wasnt room for anything with all our possessions packed tightly, no space left whatsoever. Only had to leave two office cupboards which we were fine about as the alternative was a set of bedroom drawers. Surprisingly calm I have to say sitting here in mums with a glass of wine.

Thanks to Andy and Ste (our packers), you did a grand job and worked ever so hard over the last two days. The Woods family are very grateful x

best of Luck...

Just a small thought - if it left via Liverpool, it's probably a few items 'light' by now (ducks and runs from all the enraged scousers - calm down calm down it's a joke guys...you know scouse humour and all that!)

Check the seals when you get it - calm down clam down

the seals will have died by the time they get there without adequate supplies of fish,water and ventilation im pretty certain but dont quote me.

Hiya Sandra8,

Hope you have a safe journey to `the other side`
Best of luck to you.

Hi RobDon

We are from West Derby and moving to Tauranga so not too far from where you are. We used John Masons when we moved in 2005 and they were great then as well. Hope your belongings arrive in time and all is ok. Have you found somewhere to live ok? Our container due on 3rd December so hoping we will have it in time for Christmas if we find somewhere to live???

We moved from Walton. We moved into a holiday rental for 5 weeks and this gave us time to look for somewhere suitable to rent.
We are now living in a lovely big house - hardly any furniture - but a lovely house!
Hopfully all our stuff will arrive soon and unscathed! We are able to track our container online and at the moment our container is on a ship in Sydney.
When do you fly out?

Sandra8

Sydney hey, not too far away then. When we came over last time we were on the beach and we saw the container ship arriving in Tauranga, very exciting!

We are in Walton now staying with my mum, she lives just by the Asda. Not planning on flying out until end of November so we can get a few weeks of living rent free here and give the container a head start. No flights booked yet but looking at going with Singapore Airlines, who did you fly with?

Great to hear you have found a house you like, you sound really pleased about it.

RobDon

We flew with Emirates and they were fab.
The kids were made up with the individual tv`s and the food was excellent.
Before you book your flights have a look on moneysupermarket.com, we found the consistantly cheapest.
