Okies so I have looked at price of Ferry. Im going to go from Hull to Zeebrugge. Then from there I got a hour and a half drive to Kevin's place. I figured this was better than driving for almost 3 hours through Amsterdam.
So for my car I need to get a safety kit costing about £30 pounds with high visible vests first aid kit and triangle etc.
As for other things needed I need to check about what paperwork I need to bring but im going to gather it all up and pop it all together in a plastic envelope. So far I know I need driving licence, insurance, Birth Certificate, Eu health card and Passport. I think thats everything as far as paper work and then I need to figure out what to pack.
I think I am going to see about packing my shoes cloths most of my toiletries etc that I wont need begging of may and then once all thats packed I can see what room I has left for personal stuff and I wanna try and take my Wii. However I have started selling stuff again to start to get rid of stuff I am not going to need and I really should work on selling all those University Books. So if anyone has any suggestions on best things to pack and leave let me know Thanks.

Interview Outfit
Ok so this is my outfit I plan on wearing for my Au Pair interview on the 19th of April
The look I was going for was smart cas. I wanted to look good but not be dressed up for such a formal interview as I don't want to come across to fake given that I will be living with them for a year. However at the same time I didn't want to turn up in Jeans and T Shirt. Originally I was going to wear it with suited trousers but now i,m thinking the leggings like I have on in the picture are perhaps a better bet. It will help if the kids want to play any games etc.

About 8 Weeks To Go
So I have done this blog as I figured it might help the fear of moving. I am planning on moving to Belgium In the Flanders region at the moment looking at the just outside of Brussels. This is to be with my long term bf and have been fine with it until now. I find myself about 7 or 8 weeks away and suddenly terrified. It doesn’t help that I am already stressed trying to finish up university ready for graduation and then leave a little after.
My first stress of the week was about bringing my car however I think I have solved that. My plan is now to bring the car for 6 months on my own insurance and then I can try and figure out the cost of registering it over there. Having it will make shipping my things easier as well as allowing me to practice driving on the other side of the road ready for my job if i was to get it. Job wise I have been applying to be a Aupair. The reason for this is i love working with children and have had quite a lot of experience and i figured it would be the best way to bring me closer to my boyfriend as well as still allowing me to be separate enough to start to build my own life there and so see how I can adjust. My first problem I think is to get through to Aupair interview on the 19th of April. I have passed the phone call interview and they asked me to come out on the 19th so maybe that’s why I am getting so stressed and nervous as I am so close but at the same time so far away.
I hope that for this blog is this I may find friends in Belgium (fellows expats maybe) and my friends and family can check how I get on and fallow my progress.
