Re: UK (or from anywhere else) to NZ June 2011

Re: Container arrives tomorrows

What are you renting? We need to rent a fridge for 4 weeks or so until our stuff arrives but I thought Mr Rental wanted 12 or 24 month contract. I'm having a hard time finding anywhere to rent from...

Re: Container arrives tomorrows

Ooooh, I'm jealous! I can't WAIT till our stuff arrives (about 4 weeks after we arrive - so about 6 weeks from now). It sucks living with the bare basics for so long. Have fun! Hope everything...

Re: UK (or from anywhere else) to NZ June 2011

Glad you're there safely David, and it's encouraging to hear the flights weren't too bad. Hope you find a place soon.

We are just waiting to go. Have signed a lease, ordered telephone and...

Re: Cost of school uniform - yikes!

Exactly, we remember our reasons for coming over and nowhere does "getting rich" feature.

I have bought enough clothes for my boys for the next 4 years and shipped them with our goods. I didn't...

Cost of school uniform - yikes!

We leave for NZ in three weeks' time and have just registered the kids at their new school (we have signed a lease on a house already).

I can't believe how expensive school uniform is over there -...

Re: UK (or from anywhere else) to NZ June 2011

Ugh, can you tell the stress is getting to me? I'm not even making sense. I meant to say, it made better sense for him to commute to work from the south rather than have to drive down through the...

Re: UK (or from anywhere else) to NZ June 2011

Exactly! More house and more space for less money. DH will be working in Counties Manukau (he's a cop) so it made better sense for him to commute south rather than up through the city every day.

Re: container fees from uk to nz

We had quotes from Crown, John Mason and PSS. Crown was £1k more expensive! We are going with PSS (they arrive Monday to pack us up) and we're insuring for £25k and the total, including insurance, is...

Re: Anyone tried the New Zealand Air sky couches?

Re: Anyone tried the New Zealand Air sky couches?

We're near Blackpool but I'm delivering some items to my cousin in Surrey and spending a day or two with her before flying out so it will have to be Heathrow, but at least it won't be a plane change...

Re: Any South Africans living in UK had this problem?

If they're doing everything by the book they'll realise you've only followed their own guidance, so I think you should be fine.
