Well one should never ask a lady her age so I am going to lie about mine, so there!! 
OK folks it's now 15 sleeps away for me.
Spent all day sifting and sorting, OMG soooo much stuff, why oh why did I ever feel the need to buy it all LOL!!
My daughter and her fiancee came up today to pick up some stuff and to help me take down beds, etc.
Young couple will be here tomorrow to pick up my furniture, so now this is REALLY REAL!!!
Before I could have just cancelled my ticket and lost $330.00 for the cancellation and just carried on with my life, but now there is no turning back!!!!

I thought I would pass this along.
Selling Ikea bedroom set, email me for pics. <snip>
Super King size bed frame - £60 (£120 when new)
2 night stands - £15 each, £25 for set (£30 each when new)
3 Four drawer dressers - £25 each (£66 each when new)
All of these pieces match (brown), but one dresser is brown-black. They are all about 2 1/2 years old, good condition. Must pick up. Need to sell this week, so if the offer is good enough, I'll probably take it. Thanks!
I don't know if it's illegal to sell a used mattress, so I am just listing the frame.
Super King is an American King size bed.
This person is moving back to the US and the items are in Nottingham

Jasper 123.....Thankyou I hope it helps give inspiration to those just starting the long process of going home and give some encouragement. Seems along time since you started with your returning home plans. Even getting your US citizenship we I get the feeling you will not be using but it was a good idea to have it. 
The weather has been the worst its really cold and I seem to spend much of my time cleaning pathways and moving snow. I just wish Spring would come. But I dont think it will be here for quite a long time. They have already sent us mailers warning us of floods. I really miss English Springitme there is nothing like it.
Rodney do you know if the Uk takes taxes out of your pension that you receive from the US I know the US takes it out of what I get from the UK.

This maybe a US thing. I don't think you can sell a used mattress in the US.

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK - Part II
Rodney when you said you was prescribed Champix I googled it but did not post the info incase you thought I was scare-mongering. Champix is also known as Varenicline. Here is info from Wikipedia:
"Varenicline is also strongly suspected of causing severe psychological side effects. The US Food and Drug Administration requires varenicline and Zyban (bupropion) to carry a black box warning, the agency's strongest safety warning, due to side effects including depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal actions."
Seems crazy that a doctor would prescribe it when it is "strongly suspected" to cause the above.
Good luck with keeping off the ciggies on your own
