Guest theturnerclan Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 is there any point bringing out bed? We had intended to bring it but I'm sure I've seen somwhere that the bed sizes are different so you can't get replacement bedding? Anyone any ideas?

Stuju Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hi, bring your bed you can buy sheets etc in sizes of single double and queen ( queen being the most poular here)they all fit fine we brought all our beds out here. I will just say that sheets/quilt covers etc Manchester as they are called here is very expensive - so pop to matalans or debenhams and stock up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's going to be a problem then we might as well buy a new one over there.... cheers Shelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eccles-Cakes Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi guys, its took me ages to work out how to answer. we came with nothing, huge mistake been here 5 years and still buying stuff. if its in good condition i would bring it. if you have a lot of wooden furniture find out how much it will cost to have the container fumigated and then decide if its worth it. It depends if you have the money to buy new again. I remember what it felt like to arrive with nothing and have to drag 3 kids around the shops with us and also being in a new country and having nothing even the homely things around us . To climb back into my own bed, ahh lush ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To climb back into my own bed, ahh lush ! thanks for your reply Eccles Cakes. I think we will try and bring as much as possible - might as well fill the container with bits from the house opposed to all the tools in the garage and the unknown amount he'll bring home from work! Is there anything I should buy before we leave to bring over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuju Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 bring as much as you can as things can be a little pricey here so if its in good nick bring it with you - there are so many home store shops in our area we have domayne/adairs/bayswiss/freedom/sleepcity/myers thats just a few to mention of stores where you can buy furniture, there are too many electrical stores to mention but a few are bing lee/world wide appliances/dick smiths etc etc - have a look at my area local shopping mall online http://www.erinafair.com and click the link stores and then directory this will give you website access to some on the stores that are online. I will just say that we brought our mobile phones / cordless home telephone/lcs tv /dvd player/washing machine/everything and all work perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 A cheese & onion pie and some fresh mint tic tacs wouldnt go a miss ,,i thinks its weird the things you miss.We found most electrical goods reasonable prices compared to the UK ,the thing i am glad about is i brought loads of summer clothes for us and the kids ( big primark spending spree before i left) the fashion here isnt like the uk and i thought alot of the clothes are quite expensive compared to sports soccer and the cheepy uk shops.hope this helps abit Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
