fifi69 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Oooh look at you in your penthouse :wink: we brought over a b&m outdoor set, it was a real cheapie. I've upgraded now, but we still use it as back up for extra guests. i could sell it though, and make a profit. my friend has sold a lot of her young daughter stuff that she took from the UK, ie dolls prams that you can't get here, wow the amount of interest she has had. Same with a lot of toys r us stuff, here its rubbish, or you can order from the US, but what you can get is limited. So anything unique, that you can get over there, bring it and sell it.

NeelD Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi, We bought a table with 6 chairs few years ago and as it had scratches we decided to claim it under insurance. They told u to get a replacement one. Just wondering if we leave it packed will be get charged tax. It's a glass table so don't want to get it damaged. I have the old recipts as proof of purchase a few years ago. Not sure if they will accept this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Les Patterson Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Stacey is right, I need a name change! I'm going to Perth now, not Tasmania as originally planned. The bed is a metal frame so can be dismantled and it's only 4 years old, and the mattress is a really good one so I'm keeping it. I didn't think the microwave was worth it, even though it's quite new as it was very cheap but hubby said let's take it!! Aaww that's a shame.....Tasmania is much nicer than WA....perhaps you'll get to Tassie eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ptp113 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Aaww that's a shame.....Tasmania is much nicer than WA....perhaps you'll get to Tassie eventually Agree, but I've only been to Launceston so maybe that's invalid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovingtoTasmania Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Agree, but I've only been to Launceston so maybe that's invalid? No, it really is beautiful but it has it's problems (doesn't everywhere?) with unemployment, low literacy etc., but I think things are improving slowly. But we will definitely go and visit our friends that live there as often as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duly noted @bottler1942 but I think I will be okay in the cold as it has to get to around 7 degrees before I even think of having the heating on, so I think thermals are a good idea, I'll never need heating :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 l but it has it's problems .... low literacy etc.,. To be fair, the averages weren't that much lower than elsewhere in Oz....a fact which the rest of Oz completely ignored. But kids always pick on the littlest. :wink: And we've just made up for it with the latest Man Booker prize winner - Richard Flanagan...a product of the Tasmanian state education system.:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 No table or chairs there. No sofa. No bookcases, do you keep them all in boxes? What about washing machine/tumble dryer? Pots and pans. Presumably clothes too as you won't get all of them in the cases surely? I would definitely take the microwave if it were me. I think it depends how picky you are about microwaves. If all you need is a small, simple one to do the odd defrost or cook veggies, then you can get a new one for $59. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not picky, it's only to heat baked beans and if you can't get Heinz over there, hubby won't eat any others so that solves that problem :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
