Millie x that is my worry too, i have no documents to show where we have been on holiday in thepast 10 yrs just rough ideas of when we went. I'm also a bit worried about the family stuff cos my hubby has nothing to do with his dads side of the family and his half brothers and sisters so it has been a case of wangling what info we can to put on it.

Love Shoes Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well I have a guy coming round some time today I think he want´s to buy my dining table & chairs, . Yesterday I helped a guy load a pile of joy into his van to sell in his charity shop, I thought it easier to do this than run to the tip myself, plus one man´s rubbish is another´s man´s treasure, or I hope it is. I still have my car to sell and am getting a bit panicked there as there is no one buying cars here at the moment, I will try it for a couple more weeks and then it will be one of these guy´s out of the paper :dull: Today I am going to get some more packing done, and get all my shoes lined up for sterilising tomorrow which I am dreading doing, I don´t have many clothe´s left to pack as I have given most of them away, they are either out of date or did n´t fit, plus I thought what´s the point in paying to ship clothes that I no longer like :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Shoes Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Do you need to sterlize your shoes? Anything else you need to sterlize. Garden furniture has to be dead clean, they are really fussy. Vacuum cleaners have to be cleaned to an inch of their lives, I think I will be leaving mine behind. Shoes ....... there was a thread on here on Monday I think it was, the recommended disinfectant is Jeyes fluid, but I can´t buy it here, so am using Milton, every single sole has to be cleaned. It is going to take me ages. I have just packed most of my clothes away and am going to do the shoes tomorrow, it is a case of getting into the right frame of mind for that one. I will take a photograph of my shoes when I am doing them. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eweasel Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Is anywhere actually holding car boot sales at this time of the year? I loved your last post re quitting your job and making your validating trip permenant - fantastic good your you guys. We have car boots sales around here running Saturdays and Sundays at the moment, must be to shift all those unwanted christmas pressies!!! not sure what they are like yet though and we are in Shrewsbury, Shropshire so a bit of a long way to come from Somerset :biggrin: Est Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Shoes Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Just going out now to see if I can find a local garage who will buy my car without taking the Mickey, I have had two really low offers, not even enough to cover my removals bills. I think these guys know we have to sell so they just offer as little as possible, it is doing my head in :dull: wish I could take it with me but the steering wheel is on the wrong side, so would be a huge problem. Packed three boxes of clothes and personal stuff this morning, might do some of my kitchen stuff this afternoon. I know I am going to regret doing it all so soon, but I like to be organised plus once I start I can´t stop. My plan is to get nearly everything packed, then I can take down my curtains and wash them, then get the house back to being clean & tidy but with no personal effects around, how boring is that :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just normal shoes, I had never heard of it before and then I read a thread on Monday, so thought I had better do it too, as I would hate to risk them taking all my beloved shoes off me.:wink: Spanish shoes yes quite a few of them are.

Love Shoes Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well I think I now have a buyer for my car, not as much as I would like but a guaranteed buyer and he will let me keep it until as late as possible, so that I am not walking everywhere :laugh: Plus he will do all the damned paperwork and transfer ownership which is a rather messy little trip down bureaucratic avenue :dull: Just going to pack up some more boxes, :dull: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PositivePixie Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Today I have: Visited the Dentist (massive MASSIVE fear of dentist so am very proud of myself), and both me and hubby only need a small filling each, so not as bad as we were dreading (we thought we needed crowns re-doing and stuff, so hurrah!) Phoned insurance people for shipping and got them to send me the paperwork (quote was SO much lower than shippers) Informed shippers we're not using their insurance but sent them all the paperwork they wanted Answered some Ebay questions and Hubby is currently going through some boxes of paperwork, throwing out what isn't needed anymore. oh, and did some research into what the cars are worth, watching one of the same on ebay, not far from us, with unhappy faces Forward marching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for cleaning the soles.....never heard of that one before. Are they wooden? Its because you go outside in shoes, and there might be bugs/tiny creepy crawlies and the like stuck to the bottom of them - usually in soil, but AQIS reckon they might just hang on for dear life, so a good scrubbing is called for, and so they (AQIS) know you've done it, if they smell of disinfecting fluid (ie outdoor disinfectant Jeyes, which apparently kills even bird flu, or baby sterilising stuff if you don't have Jeyes in your country/can't get hold of it) then they think you are a good clean person not trying to infect their country with your nasty foreign bugs :biglaugh: Because I will be gutted if any of my Dr Marten boots get turned away (or more realistically, charged to be treated if found to be dirty) I am Jeyes fluiding them and Milton Fluiding them lol.
