"And remember, no matter where you go, there you are..."

(famous quote by Confucius - well you try and find a funny title for an entry about removals ;-) "Read on and all will become clear" - not so famous quote by yours truly!)

So, next on the list is Pickfords the movers - that's today's fun!

Moving the stuff seems simple enough, but insuring it is something completely different! After speaking with the lovely lady at Pickfords (no, she really was nice!), the whole insurance game is a nightmare - as it stands, we need to insure our stuff in the following ways:-

- Picking up and dropping off insurance (i.e. in the van to/from the boat)
- Marine insurance (i.e. when the stuff's on the boat)
- Mold & mildew insurance (the stuff might arrive, but it could be a bit green)
- Quarantine charge (the Ossie's charge per 100lb's just to look at the stuff at their end)
- Fire insurance (i. e. so they don't deliver a crate full of ash!)
- Electrical breakdown insurance (it might get there in one piece, but will it still work?)
- Sinking ships (if the boat sinks, you can insure your shipping costs - so that when all the other insurances pay out, you don't have to pay to have it all shipped again!!!!!)

AARRRGGGHHH!!!! So after working this all out this morning, it's safe to say that you're probably having a better day than me!
