two months to go

If you want your belongings home when you arrive, think about shipping things now. The standard delivery time is six to 12 weeks. Ask your friends for recommendations and get some quotes. A number of shipping companies advertise in TNT.

Think about when you’d like to move out of your flat. To save yourself the stress of finding someone at the last minute — and to make sure you’ve got your deposit secured long before you leave — think about moving out six to eight weeks before you leave. Housesitting, short-term rentals and dossing are easy to organise.

Sorry - my last comment was rather crticial and not very helpful. Perhaps add in such things as figuring out what will be sold, what will be thrown away and what will be shipped. I been told by almost every shipping company that it'll take about 12 weeks to ship, so this means you need arrange it at least 3 months in advance not 2, if you need the gear home by the time you get home. Also, you need at least 5 weeks to close down accounts. With the amount of incompetence that reigns in most UK utilities companies and banking facilities you'll need that time to close the accounts and check at least three times that they've actually done what you've asked.

Do you seriously think that your checklist is helpful?! There's so much more to think about than just thinking about who's couch you're going to doss at.
