:( I dont want to go. iam doing everything in my power to prevent this but everything is falling around my head :( if i can survive november then it will be okay but that depends on many things otherwise its back to england and living in a sor of commune-rents cheap though 5 people in one house = only 130 pounds per month. If ther are surfing gods let em shine on me :lol:

Go to a UPS / Mailboxes, etc store. They should be able to pack them for you in a box with lots of bubble wrap and popcorn thingies.


otherwise, go to a furniture store and ask them if you can have large boxes they might be throwing away and pack with newspaper and buy some bubble wrap from a UHaul store.
