Re: Whats the daftest thing shipped over?
I've only got pedal bin liners and food bags. Do you think I'm daft or something... Only 'cos I remembered my friend in Auckland having to buy special bags for refuse otherwise I'd have stocked up on them as well Wish I had a stuffed dog or something really odd......

Re: Whats the daftest thing shipped over?
Our packers have managed to pack piggy banks that were full of 1, 2 and 5p coins as well as a bag that had coinage that we were planning on taking to the bank this week. We also think/hope that they have packed the window lock keys for our conservatory. As others have said, if it wasn't nailed down or hidden in cupboards then it was wrapped and packed.

Oh, while I think about it, it is the law that you use Jeyes Fluid on your stuff in the container. The more the merrier, so make sure you stock up on that Only jesting
Good post, will get some small bags then, so cheap at Tesco.
How's the stocking up on toiletries coming on......
For anyone else reading this post, it is not really the law. I am just taking the proverbial with Bevissa coz she will be in NZ before me and its not fair

And what do you mean you didn't mean MUCH of the piss taking I'm a bit slow in the mornings too - its the Norfolk in me.....xxxxxx

Well, we are a third way through our unpacking and have so far found the top to the floor safe, including the key and a bag of rubbish which was next to the bin, but they left the bin
Quite excited to see what else has come

A friend told me the packers had wrapped and packed an inflated balloon that was left over from their leaving party - arrived safely although slightly deflated

Tail lights from my car (PT Cruiser) which I'd sold before leaving UK so they were really were of no use to us in NZ but I sold them on Trade Me.

Re: Whats the daftest thing shipped over?
Hello all, so what was /is going to be the daftest or most obscure thing anyone has shipped over to NZ and why? Apart from my boxes and boxes of stationery and smelly stuff I'm taking lots of tesco value food bags and bin liners cos they are so cheap here, surely NZ couldn't price match them Not particularly strange just a bit stupid maybe.... I'm certain there will be some really, really strange things listed....... Bevissa

Given the current rate, the daftest things I have 'brought' are British Pounds

I had 236 boxes delivered promptly yesterday at our rental - but where is the kettle - it's not in the kitchen boxes and where are the shelves from the bookcases?
AHHHHHHHHH! - don't tell me - I know - they're in a box!!!!!!!
