Shipping things home

Previously, we were thinking to send things home by Fedex, when we checked the price it was roughtly £145 per 25kg, I knew it would be expensive, but I just cannot believe it would be that expensive. Anyhow, we decided to browse around the Internet and ask our friends, we've sort of decided to send by surface (sea). The initial price that we saw on the Internet was £85 for the first box and £35 per box after. It also requires £25 for delivery charge, which we think it is quite reasonable, at least cheaper than shipping with Fedex. Therefore, I rang the shipping company to get a quote and ask in details about the shipment. Although this will be slower than Fedex, it will take 6 - 8 weeks but it is so much cheaper, which I think it is quite reasonable to use. The company seems to be quite good and with reasonable price.

I think we will be arranging them to deliver all the packing materials and start packing next week. Hopefully I can finish packing as soon as possible, however I think it could be difficult since I really don't like packing and I just don't like the fact that when I need something and it isn't handy at all. KitKit was quite happy that he can bring more things back home, i.e. his Virgin Voyager train model. And at least I don't have to worry too much about limiting my packing.

Anyways, for now I should go to bed, need to work today and will be off on Sunday. This coming Sunday, KitKit and his brother will be going to watch a football match and I won't be going with them, I just don't fancy football and I don't really enjoy watching it, so I said to him waste the money to get a ticket and watch something that I don't enjoy. I rather stay at home and to be online, I really don't mind spending a Sunday afternoon at home doing nothing but online or watching telly.
