You'd think....
... I'd asked for something really weird!
My sister Simonne (24 and single) is coming to visit me on the 26th of this month and you should have heard her protest when I asked her to bring a couple of things.
Does this sound like a lot to you?
Cricket bats and wickets X 2
Continental quilts and covers X 3 (1 queen 2 twin)
Ready Brek (she can take it out of the box if she wants right?)
That's only like a few things innit?

Often have MIL bring duvets ....but three in one go is pushing it. American customs agents are convinced there's stuff in them and they're pretty bulky.

Why are you getting UK duvets instead of the US ones? We bought a kingsize duvet at Linnens 'n Things and got covers from Sears and Macys. The children still have their UK quilts and I get their covers from the UK because you get great character covers and more choice in pretty ones from the UK. But I wouldn't bother buying the quilts from the UK

My brother in law is coming over next Saturday and I am putting a list together. Top of the list?
Orange squash and lemon barley!!!!
I managed to hit a good sale at Homebase before moving over last September - I got a double feather and down quilt for £17.50 and three single ones for £15 each. All of them a third of their original price! Comforters don't seem to do so well after being washed a few times.
