I don't work (domestic engineer) and the quotes are free, so I think you're right Karma. Doesn't hurt to get one more. You make a good point about customs, and to add to that, I've had two discs removed in my upper spine already. Will probably just let them do the packing besides risking another disc or two right before our wedding! We've been very careful and only selected removal companies approved by this crowd www.bar.co.uk/index.php GB Liners was here today, Pickford will be here on Wednesday. Just need to choose one more and we're good to go. Lots of stuff stays with the house. All electrics, most furniture, all window treatments, all garden equipment and some other misc stuff. Anything we're not keeping that the home buyers don't want will be sent to the British Heart Foundation's charity shop if it's in decent shape. Anything that's rubbish will be put in the wheelie bin, a bit at a time, from now until we leave. We've been really lucky with our buyers. They were happy to stall proceedings until we were ready to book our flights which was a massive relief. They've said not to worry about anything being left. If they don't want it, they'll deal with it. We'd all been told by our solicitors 'completion' had to happen Mon - Fri, but we're not due to head out until Saturday. Would've meant crashing at a friend's house Friday night, but we don't have to now. Because I've been in contact with them from the start via texts and email, they've agreed to do completion on Friday, but won't take possession until Saturday. We'll give them one set of keys Friday and they're letting us stay here Friday night. Then they'll meet us here the next morning to collect the other set before we hit the road. By noon we're gone to catch our train and they'll start moving in. Couldn't ask for more really.

Well, he walked around with his clipboard for half an hour while I told him what was going and what was staying. He then handed me some information to read through about what can and can't be taken to America. He said he'd have quotes for me in a few days and that was that. I asked him to give me quotes for packing myself and for letting them pack. Will do the same (if it's an option) with the next guy.
Not sure if I should stick with just two quotes or maybe add a third into the mix.

I'd be all over this if I were into the polished ones, but I prefer brushed finish. This is about the cheapest I've seen second hand Spheroids going for. Great deal for anyone wanting polished finish.

That's right, so no excuses. I'm already on the wait list for that too! Woman on a mission. I've also managed to get a microstick - bought some TrustFire 18350, no good, too fat! My old AW IMR's are just about done. Don't want to make another mistake on batteries. Any thoughts on which 18350 batteries are "good" (fit and work), and which to avoid? I don't have one yet, so afraid I can't help you there. How'd you manage to get your hands on one?!

Maybe T-Juice could supply a list of eligible vendors who are selling the concentrate........... That would be a most excellent idea. A page on their website listing authorised vendors would help all of us make sure we're not buying from the rogues.

Anyone know the link to that external tracking site? My last two packages (EVER!) from FT are on their way and I've seen this tracking site mentioned somewhere that's more reliable than FT's offerings, but can't remember what site it was.

Nothing wrong with limiting it to two bottles per order. Very fair in fact. Well played T-Juice!

You've got to keep something... surely? Make it the Vamo... you know you want to. Will admit, my mod/atty stand is looking a bit bare at the minute and I know I'll miss the Vamo when it's gone. That said, I'll be adding to the collection again soon. It's all just a vicious cycle.
