Last night was spent sifting through various bits of paperwork (electronic and paper), that the relocation company need completing in order to move us. I thought it would be a case of 'pay us the money and we'll move you'. But, no, definitely not! Copies of passports, letters of introduction, work passes, inventories, customs declarations, you name it! The fact that we have no idea where we'll be leaving left a few blank spaces but I think we got most of it done. That took a little while so by the end it was unanimously decided (between me and my wife), that it was time for pizza. With a G'n'T. Done!
Still lots to get through and indeed rather than writing this blog I should be emailing the relo company with questions I need answering. Nothing desperate but it needs doing and answers need obtaining. You can't believe how much space is taken up with seemingly small amounts of goods that need shipping but, we've managed 137 cubic feet with no trouble at all. Now, I know that's not much as far as container ships go but it costing £1060 and we're barely taking anything. thank goodness the school's paying!

Paperwork
I gotta say, the amount of paperwork generated by this move is incredible!
T seems to have been working non-stop to get her various papers in order. Everything from CRB checks to work permits, replacement certificates to signing oathes with solicitors (that's another fiver please) and 101 passport photos of the whole family. And more to come. They do like their photos over there. Aside from the obvious passports we need them for security passes, dependant passes, school passes, school year book etc etc. Last week she went for a chest x-ray (privately, at Tanglin's expense of course, in and out in five minutes. Very handy when you've a grumpy toddler in tow!). The doctor has already signed off a medical check which T needs to pick along with the report on the x-ray. There's an awful lot more which she's been working on but frankly it's easier to stay out of it if I don't need to get involved.
I've got plenty to keep me going with the house and Ebay. And it's only going to get busier as we approach flight day. Think it's soon going to be time to get the letting agent in for real rather than just the speculative chat I had with them last time! Things have rather moved on since then which was just a day before t's interview. Now its all for real.
