Thanks, that's great advice for anyone moving back, you don't always think of these things with everything else going on! I'm ok on that score, I actually spent 9 months back home last year and managed to open accounts whilst there. It's everything else I'm struggling with! What do I take back regards household stuff, and most of all what shipping company do I use. Has anyone any recommendations, or otherwise, on international removal companies. I'm going back to Kent in the South
