My Lakeland coffee container which was chucked out to get rid of the excess baggage at the airport. And my OH's wellies which he couldn't be bothered cleaninng - he's sorry now!

My OH was working and I had shingles when the packers came so I wish I'd cleaned our garden tools, etc but I just didn't have the energy. We brought pretty much everything else including our garden furniture.

Underwear, cushion covers and coathangers.

I know, as mad and bad as it may seem. If you can't live without M&S undies, best stock up on a lifetimes supply.

Coathangers here really are crap and you hardly ever get given the hangers from the shops when you buy something.

I don't know anywhere here where you can just buy cushion covers without having to buy the whole thing with inners in.

Cor! Just checked out the price of front loading machines there

But didn't see any Siemens...do they sell them there? I have a really old one and boy are they workhorses, I've abused mine for over a decade and it's still going strong . I'm thinking of getting a new one to take there (if we ever get there ), what do you think? Any advice much appreciated. I'm concerned about spare parts etc should it need repairing.
