HOORAH! Our stuff's arived!!!!
I chased up our shipment yesterday, and was told that it would clear MAF then get to us after Easter. 
Then in the afternoon another call to say it had surprisingly cleared MAF no problems and could we take delivery at 1pm today. 
I bit the ladies arm off... and at 1pm today, spot on time, the van rolled up and there it was, all our stuff!!!
It was a fantastic moment, and all looks to be in good shape. SO good to see all our special things coming off the lorry, I couldn't stop smiling.
Check out the state of our gaff.... 3 bedroom house into 1 bedroom flat is not going to be an easy squeeze
However I'm sure the beautiful lady wife will work her magic, whilst I tuck into a six pack of celebratory cold ones
Happy days

Good on ya!!!
Best of luck with the squeeze - our place is half as big again as the house in blighty and we are still in a mess nearly 2 weeks later ---- the joys of parenthood I suppose!!

Cheers folks! 5 beers down and the unpacking has ground to a halt. About 1/2 way through now, and still all good - just a couple of minor breakages to some small wooden items.
Worry about the rest tomorrow - the rest of today is for celebrating
Still v happy

Re: HOORAH! Our stuff's arived!!!!
I do seem to mention drink alot on this forum...........
Not that I m drinking now of course...........just sitting here instead, chatting to you while all my work piles up on the desk.
Ahh, I have answered my own question there. Thats why I drink. All the worry of work coz I do nothing while here.
This bloody forum is toooo addictive.
