As we packed up our home and got ready to leave we thought of the millions of things that we needed/wanted in Australia. We wanted to bring our computer and all of its bits, my scrapbooking stuff, the children's comforters, winter coats, John's waterski, and some of the children's toys. What we ended up shipping was in this box: coats, toys, blankets and other winter gear. The cost of shipping equaled the value of the items within the box. We were shocked to say the least. We shipped the box on the 9th of October and finally received it on the 3rd of November.

That's awesome. Did it smell musty? I distinctly remember the smell of the stuff my bro shipped from Australia. From being on a ship for several weeks, his packages always had this musty, sea-faring smell. Can't really describe it...but I can still smell it now.
Love your flat, by the way. Looks like fun!
Was it untaped on arrival or is the picture of the afterthought? Oh, we need to take a picture of this, no one will believe us. Box wasn't very big.
