Ayer,
ive been reading about the bed linen situation, we are wondering whether to ship all the furniture, white goods n stuff from home, or sell it and buy new when we arrive, has anyone got any advice please???

We are taking as much as possible cause if we have it we don't want to have to get it again,and to make our girls feel at home.

We had a quote from GB Liners and was more than impressed and opened our eyes to the quote we got from Crown Relocation too and in overall his visit really impressed us very much so we will be using GB Liners when time comes

Our house has been on market since last september but i have just changed estate agent as i had to chase last ones for viewers and only been up with new agent about 1 week and had a viewer yesterday so just have to wait.

We are hoping to be out asap because as soon as i get a job sponsor i will do forms and should take about couple of months, we had 2 sponsors which both fell through (not due to us) so have to look for another and not giving up so as soon as we get that it shouldnt take long and hopefully house should sell pretty quick too :spinny:

Take as much as you can. I've just got back from a fact finding mission and everything was MUCH more expensive than I thought it would be. There are no supermarkets which sell household goods and even small electricals are expensive!
