I've found supplements same price and but vitamins seem a little higher than RRP in UK, but no 3 for 2 Boots deals - well no Boots and most supermarkets are privately owned gold mines.

Thanks Pixiewink - haven't got a wide brimmed hat, so will source one before I leave! Sunscreen is a must for me at all times in the UK summer so am prepared for it to be all year round out there! Oooh, breathe - getting very excited now and a little bit scared!

Ooh - one more thing - I know vitamins etc. have been mentioned, but I will be bringing a couple of prescription tablets with me (cocodamol for rare migraines and Clopidogral (alternative to aspirin, as am allergic)) - what's the procedure for them - does anyone know?

I bought co codamol here, you just mark the yes box to medications on your arrival card - hope this helps.

Pinksar - where in Hampshire are you from, we were from fareham.

Pinksar

We're in Bursledon so not far from there! Thanks for the info re cocodamol x

skends

You're welcome. Enjoy New Zealand it's a beautiful place to be.

Pinksar

Thanks - I can't wait - 3 weeks today we fly, so not long now!

My husband Ukarchitect is originally from Fareham! We've made the move from Guernsey having lived gere for 16 years. Small world!

Pinksar

Wow - it is a small world! Theres a few people on here from this area - I hope we can meet with people from here once we're there, as would be great to put faces to names!

Larryloo

Definitely look forward to meeting new people. Having a tearful day today as I prepare to move out of the house we've treasured for 9 years.

Pinksar

Oh bless you - I have that in 2 weeks - home for 13 years - it's been an emotional roller coaster these last 2 weeks - re-homed my 2 cats (broke my heart for days), said goodbye to family we won't see again and the next few weeks are likely to be the same! Leaving party this weekend and then days and days of visits to say goodbye to others.

Chin up - think of the new life adventure you will be starting - that's what I'm telling myself anyway!

Larryloo

Thank you. I rehomed my dog back in June. I completely empathise with you! Keep in touch. X

Pinksar

It's so hard isn't it? I had my first and only quiver of nerves the day after I did it and actually thought "I can't do this" - that passed fairly quickly though! Will keep in touch, and you - when do you go over and do you know where you'll be living? x

Pinksar

Sorry - ignore my last post - having a very confusing day of paperwork today and my head not with it - you're in Christchurch and soon! lol - sorry xx
