Thanks, Betty. Your tips and sharing are highly appreciated. Very useful indeed. Wish you and your family great joy and happiness in your new home in UK.
Thank you! Thanks for your support and encouraging words! I’ve been busy with starting school so we will post soon keep posted. You can also check out my Facebook I put daily posts on their to share life in Manchester and UK. m.facebook.com/bettyinmanchester/
Your cantonese is fluent, and thanks for sharing Manchester info. I am considering to move there and want to know more about working opportunity, safety, school, etc. Thanks Betty!
You don’t need to pack those plastic drawers into boxes? Right? 你廣東話好正喎！Don’t worry , really luv your style , we can learn a lot of really local stuff in UK ! 加油💪
No you don't need to pack them into boxes ask the packing company to wrap it with cling film. It will save you a lot of hassle throwing away boxing when you arrive.Thanks for watching!☺️
Hi Virginia, If you go through a flooring company it depends on how many rooms you want to do. It can vary from 2days to a week depending on how many rooms. Costs can vary too, how many rooms and what quality. The thicker the laminate the more expensive material. ☺️
Haha! That’s a great idea, my children will be very pleased to help out! They were puzzled with some phrases used in Manchester. Great comment and suggestion!
Thanks for your compliment, I can speak the language but sometimes need a bit more loading time to think of the right words. Making RUclips video is good way to practise 😁
Wow, you have a 35 mm Nikon FE/FM camera and a M series Leica camera on the shelf, you guys must be a serious photographer. Is that a Rolleiflex 120 on the second shelf, just wondering.
Hi Betty, your Cantonese is actually much better than all of my BBC friends as well as equviantly better than my English. Keep up your good job! Regarding the furnitures included in your packing list, what were that? Would freight company charge extra for those big furnitures? By the way, your daughters are adorable~
Hi there thanks for watching! We got a quote from the shipping company we only shipped a few pcs of furniture like a tv cabinet etc. Best thing to do would be to get a quote on the things you want to send. We did half a container, and it’s different for everyone so check with the shipper to get a better idea.. ☺️
Thank you for watching glad you found it helpful. The shipping company will provide you with a packing list template. Hope that helps as it was a few years ago I can’t find the file😉
Hi Evie, This is the company I used you can try give them a call and get a quote. They are quite good as it was the first time I made a big move and really didn’t know what to expect. They were really friendly and nice. www.vanpacgroupasia.com, You can go and compare prices, for myself I went with them because they were recommended by a friend who had moved multiple times to the UK and said they were competitive.☺️ Once you have chose your shipper they can send you a template of the packing list☺️. Best of Luck! Betty
Hi Betty, don’t worry❣️ Your Cantonese speaking is good 👍 Thank you for your sharing 😄 Btw, will the transportation guys help you to send those carton boxes to the 2nd floor ( Rooms ) ? How much tips should give them ? Can the roof place heavy items ? How many kgs can the roof take it ? Hope you can solve my queries, thanks.
Hi Blue Sky, Thank you for your lovely comment! The movers will help you take your boxes to the second floor if needed. I didn’t tip in UK as it’s not the culture, I only tipped in HK. You can if you want but normally in UK you may just offer them a tea or coffee but being a pandemic maybe you can offer them a canned drink and a pack of crisps they will be happy especially after their long trip! ☺️ As for the Loft storage,, I’m not too sure on that. I have read it can hold 25kg per sqft. I read it says new builds can hold weight abit better there is a link below you can take a look. Hope it helps. access4lofts.co.uk/kettering/boarding-your-loft-in-a-new-build/

Ms Chan, I brought Muji Plastic drawers and I have used them over 10 years and moved several places. Then they came to UK, so no☺️. They are very sturdy!
Thank you for ur essential info, very useful eg disposal of boxes/Checker list etc. Question: Do u tip the movers in Manchester? I usually tip the couriers n movers in HK. Not sure how much is considered appropriate for them in this situation as I expect to have over 30 boxes?
Hi there, in Hk I did because it was the custom but in UK I didn’t as it’s not really the custom. Cut you can if you want, sometimes in UK you probably would offer them a cup of tea or coffee instead as I did. But because of covid it’s best to offer a gesture of canned drinks and Crisps for their hard work. 😋
thank you soo much for your comment, I will try my best to speak better it was very hard recording. Teaching English actually that will be a good idea! In the UK there are lots of everyday words that maybe worthwhile sharing, especially in Manchester there are some phrases my children didn't know until they lived here.😁👍🏻

Hi Yun, Funny you mention that as I went there yesterday and managed to take some pictures, if you have time you can check out my Facebook link below on the M&S outlet. It’s not a big outlet it’s at the Urban exchange off Great Ancoats street and 10mins walk from the Arndale Centre but I normally drive as there is free parking for a limited time. This is just one M&S outlet there are lots more around Manchester, but this is the most convenient to me. facebook.com/611593789498962/posts/632607164064291/?extid=E55pNopyNLz2xX2m&d=n

你好，謝謝你資料，請問一下，如果唔識楂車，有小朋友讀小學，有咩區係交通交方便可以推介下呢？如果無車會唔會好唔方便呢？
講真唔揸車係會無咁方便，完全唔揸可能住近City Center 會方便啲啲，例如Ancoats有小學有超級市場，又可以行到入市中心。但都建議你學下車好啲呀。
