We will have to move out of our house and into temporary accommodation once our house sales completes so we'll ditch the junk then. If it's not useful, beautiful or seriously sentimental it ain't coming.

It's really it's only stuff though - I'll only be happy once my hairy hooligans arrive.
Ah yes I hear what you are saying, I have my eye on a toaster which is a work of art....one day maybe I can persuade my rather tight fisted husband to part with money to pay for it (he just doesn't see the beauty in such things sigh). It's such a theraputic exercise in a way, moving house you have a big old clearout and spring clean your life if that makes sense?

Sending lots of good vibes to your four legged ones do let us know when they arrive safely Now ours is here we feel complete

Well we're not planning to go till March 31...though the OH has a job interview with his current company in Wellington so that might move our deadlines. but given we're getting married in February, that will be interesting

Oh yes of course I forgot both of those dates will be here before you know it! Have you decided what to do with your wedding dress yet ie keep it and ship it over or sell it? Honest, you need to think about it because it takes forever to get it dry cleaned and then the weight of them can be very expensive to take on the plane with you - speaking from first hand experience I left it waaaay too late stupid me.

Would it be a bad idea to put it in the container in one of the clothes container boxes?

Yes definitely if you have the time after your wedding? You can get a bespoke box made as well (which I did and then had to bin ) and the packers can just wrap that up for you. Allow at least 2 weeks for your dress to be dry cleaned! Mine missed the shippers by 2 days I was so gutted!
