Birthday cards, Clippers organic tea, Merchant Gourmet lentils, loads of chocolate, HP sauce, marmelade, lemon curd, Lizi's granola, coconut flakes, dried pineapple, books, books, books and quite a few clothes. My coping mechanism is to surround myself with Englishness when I return home in two and a half (!!) weeks. I can't bring my gym instructors, colleagues or favourite restaurants so I will settle for what I can bring. The movers will probably think I'm nuts (as dI think did the check out girl at Waitrose when she saw all the cards) but he ho. I like the idea of having my english stuff around me in my Amsterdam flat in a few weeks' time. Strange feeling that this time in three weeks, I will have pretty much unpacked....
Oh, and to balance it out: four big bags full of no longer worn clothes for the Marie Curie charity shop and counting....

Hope the move went well and you are enjoying Amsterdam. I moved house 3 weeks ago and used this amazing removals company called Big Yellow Van. I was concerned about all my precious possessions being safe en route to my new place but the service I got was outstanding. The driver turned up on time, was extremely helpful and their prices cant be beaten! Check out www.bigyellowvan.biz or call 0207 870 1041 for more info.
