OMG there is an actual end to this process after all!!! Brown envelope landed on May 6th asking for passports and 2 photos of each of us. Spent the next day frantically searching for the eldest two kids passports....took most of the day to turn the house upside down only to find that in my wisdom I had put them in a drawer where I keep wrapping paper and bows...huh!!!! Managed to get them posted and they should have arrived at CHC in London today!!
On the container front...the removal firm are coming June 9th to pack and the container is being shipped June 14th. It should arrive in Toronto June 30th where it will just hang out at customs till we get there. Our plan now is to fly in July 4th and spend 2 nights in Toronto. Then we'll go to Barrie and get the furniture released and sign for the house. GB Liners has arranged for the Ontario removal firm to deliver the furniture on July 7th.....so provided there are no unforeseen problems everything seems to now be organised. I just have to complete the goods to follow list and the insurance as well as do the goods to accompany list.
I've now handed my notice in at work and I'm marking the last assignments for OU....feels really strange! I also have numerous boxes for charity which I need to arrange pick up for.
My parents have already got their flights booked to visit us at the end of September....they're coming via Barbados (alright for some!!) and will stay with us till just after Thanksgiving.
P.S. thank you Linda for reminding me to get my blog updated!!!
