I thought that was a good price. It was about 8,000 to ship things over when we moved here, that was over 17 years ago. Plus they pack and protect all your furniture for you, the others didnt, we had to do our own. Plus this time we need a much bigger container. That's hubbys fault as he won't part with his shit.

I know, that way would give me chance to get rid of the box of bell bottom trousers.

When we moved, we basically sold everything within 6 weeks. (Received visa 24th Dec Flight from Brum 16th Feb)
Moved with 8 suitcases and a dog on a different flight!
If we were to move back again, we'd probably rid most of it again as the cost of shipping outweighs the cost of the stuff we brought here...
I couldn't do that Ray. We will be moving back without a home signed and sealed and ready to move into, to then have nothing basically but the clothes on your backs and suitcases. Couldn't do it. Not at our time of lives, would be too hard to do, like starting over from scratch. Most of our furniture was built by the Amish, we could never ever replace it, and would break my heart to virtually have to give it away. I'm hoping that wherever we end up, I hope I can turn it into a mini 114. That's my dream, a mini 114 but in England.

We didn't have a lot before we moved anyways, just bits and bobs and typical furniture that we had brought.
We only lived in the house for 3 years before we decided to move, it was more of a house than a home back in Wolves.
We did literally start from scratch here in the US, we stayed with in-laws for 6 weeks (which was difficult) till our rental was sorted and then have slowly accumulated "stuff" over the past few years, we've been in our house which we brought 2 years ago and have made it a home and like you we have some wonderful pieces of unique furniture from "up north" (Sells really well down here due to the craftsmanship), but would have to seriously think about what to leave and what to take if we ever did move back...
Kinda have to say am kinda jealous though!

It's hard, exciting, daunting, worrying, and yet ecstatic all at the same time. We are at a time though where we need to be back there, back among family, friends and proper black country folk again!! I don't want to grow old here, I don't want to end my days living here....and on that cheery note, I got another customer!

This made me smile today.....
The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) has changed its name to World Taekwondo because of the "negative connotations" associated with its initials.

Which is more a sad reflection on today's world than on the World Taekwondo Federation.

If they were French based we could have sued them...
