how much personal stuff should we take?

We're moving over to Chicago from London in October and are currently making our piles of what to keep and what we can live without. It's a hard choice for some items but we'll be shipping a few boxes no doubt.

Can anyone recommend any decent shipping companies they have used?

Thanks,
Megs

We are moving over in December and we are selling everything, including the kitchen sink. For me and my husband it is a brand new start in life.

Yep, that is exactly what I did nine plus years ago when moving from the states to here in the Philippines. It was hard leaving so much behind but better than trying to haul it all along. Now so many years later I do realize it was the right choice.

Good luck on your move and enjoy

Thanks Gene and Viol. Really looking forward to it.

I just recently made the move myself and thought it not worth shipping anything, apart from clothing and a few sentimental bits, but electrical stuff left totally behind. I've bought quite a bit of furniture from IKEA (at least you know what to expect) and strangely enough the bedroom furniture is exactly what I had in the UK but significantly cheaper!!!
