Okay, so the move is imminent! As in two or three weeks' time!
Any advice as to stuff I may have forgotten to do/pack/arrange??
I think I'm pretty organized but there is always that one thing that creeps up and knocks you sideways!
Anyone have any experience of things they almost/did forget about? Please share!

Thanks for any input!


(PS I know I've left it too late to open a Stateside bank account through HSBC and that I have to wait until I get over there to do this. I blame their Customer Service Telephone Line!!!! lol)

you turned off the gas?

cancelled the milk and papers??

Have you opened a UK bank account, brokerage account, EGG and/or First Direct Savings Account, unit trust account, maximised this tax year's ISA?

Because once you have left you won't be able to do any of the above...

Packed a case full of Cadbury's choccy.

packed ..... paper, pencil, piece of string

..the kitchen sink

Make sure your medicines will last till you can see a doc. and the packaging meets current US customs requirements.

Take lots of pictures of what seems normal to you now. The street you live in, the local pub etc.

Great Idea! I wish we had done that.......

12 packs of McVitties plain chocolate homewheat biccies. Have 2 for yourself and contact me for a mailing address not too far from NYC

You're a dark choccy biscuit lover too. I can get those in a store near me.....quite expensive though. My daughter usually brings them home from Toronto....much cheaper in Canada.

I used to load in Hudson NH and the guy who owned the company lived 4 doors down from a British store, he once got me 6 packs and gave me his email address so we could let him know what we wanted when I went back next time. ........ That was a year ago and I havn't been there since

Now you've said that....you're bound to get a trip to NH real soon.

They charge $3.99 for the bigger packs at our Brit shop, I think thats pretty good really
