1
You've just bought your new home, contracts have been exchanged, and time is ticking down to your big day.
2
I'm here to show you how moving house doesn't have to move you to tears.
3
I'm just outside of Peterborough, meeting Mark and Tonya, who are about to move out of their four -bedroom house.
4
Moving home doesn't have to be stressful and scary.
5
I'm going to show them the easy way. So, what's happening?
6
You're in the foes of moving.
7
Yes.
8
But by all accounts, not particularly well organised yet.
9
Erm, we're not probably the most organised of people, eh?
10
Understatement.
11
Yeah, yeah.
12
We like to fly by the seat of our pants, we're a bit chaotic.
13
And with the three kids, there's a fair bit moving.
14
I was hiring a seven -and -a -half tonner and was going to drive that myself.
15
And pack it yourself.
16
And pack it.
17
Unpack it.
18
And unpack it and shift the kids and the animals as well.
19
So we'd better have a look around.
20
I think so.
21
I sense you're a real pickle.
22
Are you ready?
23
I admire Mark's gallantry, but I fear he's underestimating the scale of the job.
24
This is a far from small move.
25
With five large sofas and five beds, going it alone will be chaotic and could damage valuable furniture.
26
Winging it is a bad idea.
27
You really thought you could move this on your own?
28
Yeah.
29
There's plenty of work to do around here, that much is clear.
30
But if there's one thing I do know how to do, it's move house.
31
And here's one big option to make life a lot easier.
32
You've arrived right on time.
33
Come on in.
34
We have some removal there.
35
Oh, fantastic.
36
Welcome.
37
Very welcome.
38
Along with your stamp duty and solicitor fees, factor in the cost of a removal team when you buy your new home.
39
It will definitely ease the pressure on the big day.
40
Set aside around £690 to move the contents of a two -bed property up to 10 miles.
41
Around £870 for a three -bed and approximately £1 ,050 for a four -bed home to the same distance.
42
And if you want the removers to help you pack, set aside around £282.
43
pounds.
44
But if you do plan to do it all yourself there are some simple cheats
45
that expert mover Mark and his team swear by.
46
And have you got any suggestions for actually packing the boxes?
47
I know you guys use tissue paper and rugs and all that kind of stuff.
48
Yeah well we use special packing materials things like white paper, tissue paper, bubble wrap.
49
So when we wrap something up we wrap something very carefully
50
but all the packing material that we use around it is there to absorb the shock
51
when something's being moved
52
and the key to it all is make sure the box
53
is full as soon as you have a gap in the box something can move around
54
and it can get broken the other thing to remember is
55
if you take something apart make sure that you keep all the bits together
56
because otherwise you'll get there and the leg of your table will be missing the screws yeah
57
for any successful move it's so important to plan ahead You probably don't realise how much stuff you've accumulated over the years.
58
Declutter and throw out things you won't need in your new home.
59
Make sure you've let all your utility companies know your moving date.
60
Royal Mail can redirect your post for up to 12 months after you've moved.
61
Make a diagram plan of what goes where in your new place and share it with your removers.
62
With each box in the right room, unpacking will be a breeze.
63
Time to deal with the next job, the smaller but not less important items.
64
Anything like your passports or your credit cards or any cash or any jewellery or any heirlooms or,
65
you know, those really, really important things.
66
I don't think it's fair to ask the removalists to deal with them.
67
So I always put them in a case on my back
68
and I take them to a friend's or put them in the car or just get them out of the house.
69
That's the valuables taken care of, but remember moving day can be exhausting no matter how well you've prepared.
70
It also really helps to pack a box of essentials that's actually gonna get you through the move day.
71
Some snacks, some tea, some coffee, mugs, teaspoon, things like this.
72
Maybe a meal that you can heat up that night.
73
Anything that's gonna ease the day's pressures, because you will get thirsty, you will get hungry, you will get knackered.
74
If, like Tonya and Mark, you've got kids, then it's best for them to play at a friend or family member's house for the day.
75
Likewise pets, but there are a few other things to remember to keep your furry friend happy.
76
Ensure your dog's bedding and toys are one of the last things to pack.
77
Having something familiar will keep them calm during the move.
78
Update their microchip with your new address and attach a new tag in case he makes a dash on moving day.
79
And once you've made the move, don't wash your pet's bedding for a few weeks so he has some familiar smells in the new house.
80
With the last few items going into the van, it's almost time to make the move.
81
When you arrive at your new property, check everything is in working order first.
82
Make sure you know how the boiler and thermostat work, or you may face a chilly first night in your new home.
83
Find out where the water stopcock is, in case there's an unexpected leak.
84
And get to know the fuse panel, in case you're suddenly in darkness.
85
Mark and Tonya's furniture has arrived at their new home, with the boxes being taken straight to the right rooms.
86
After the stress of a big move, I think it's important to give yourself a reward for a job well done, be it a glass of something bubbly or the inaugural takeaway.
87
So I've arranged for a few housewarming treats to be delivered.
88
Wishing you all the best for your new family home.
89
Congratulations from Phil.
90
Oh, isn't that lovely?
91
Mark and Tonya's move has gone really smoothly
92
and I'm absolutely delighted for them you know what I reckon
93
we've all learned a few things get ahead make sure your
94
utilities are sorted before you move planning I reckon an hour's careful prepping can save five hours unpacking
95
and do remember your essentials the things
96
that you need during the day as well as your what I'm going to call your security box.
97
Take them with you in the car, you'll thank me at the end.
98
Communication.
99
Make it easy for people to know what goes where.
100
Room plans, marker pens, stickers.
101
The devil's in the detail.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
