Hi Kathy,
I haven't noticed if you have asked anything else, but if you're coming from the US to the UK there are some other very useful threads on what not to pack at all. ... Like furniture, because most British houses are too small to accomodate American furniture, and most electrical things because the UK runs eveything in 220V 50Hz electricity, not the 110V 6Hz of the US.
Enjoy yourself, ....packing is just great fun!

I agree about the electrical things (except for lamps, those will be just fine if you get UK light bulbs and plug adapters.) I disagree about the furniture. All our furniture fit just fine. I will say that we lived in a smallish, older house in the US, so maybe that made a difference. I measured our doors at our old US house, because we barely got our sofa through it in the US. As long as we had at least 29" doorways in our UK house we would be just fine.
We didn't take along our US king size bed, mostly because it was almost 10 years old and due for replacement (just mattress, box spring and frame.) We planned on buying a new bed in the UK based on the size of the room. Lucky for us, we were able to buy a super-king (US king)!
Anything I had questions about, I measured and had the measurements with me when we were house-hunting. I got a lot of strange looks from the estate agent, but I was happy! FTR, not one house that we looked at would have been too small to accomodate our furniture, but then again, we didn't have a lot of big, huge stuff either.
