Review
Featured in Sunday Mirrorwww.allaboutyou.com Pure Lancashire Irish Examiner"Much-needed guidance on surviving the horrors of moving house, including ideas for staying calm amid the chaos, written by two psychologists." Publishing News Home, Interiors & Crafts recommended Sue Baker"Occupational psychologists with a book designed to help people deal with all the stresses of moving house." The Bookseller Caroline Sanderson: January New Tiltes"Co-ordinating kids, mortgages, pets, solicitors, vendors and buyers all adds up to a big headache when you're moving house. At last, help is at hand." House Beautiful"The worst thing about moving house is the stress it causes, which is why occupational psychologists Dr Sandi Mann and Dr Paul Seager, experts in stress management, have written Upping Sticks, a book which focuses specifically on the psychological tips and tricks to keep your blood pressure down when you move house." Move or Improve"Ah, if only I'd had this wonderful little book to hand a few months ago when I was in the throes of moving... A gem, full of sound advice and common sense. If you're thinking of moving next year, buy this first!" Gateway"Plenty of self-help tomes already on the market aim to guide readers through the complex processes of buying, selling and moving, but this is certainly the first one I've come across that focuses on the emotions of all concerned, while at the same time telling you all you need to know about the practicalities." Living It"For a glimpse in side the head of the typical buyer and seller read Upping Sticks by the psychologists Sandi Mann and Paul Seager." With Kids"It's written in 'bite-size' chapters so it was easy to dip in and out of. I'd recommend it to someone who is new to moving house. It did have some really helpful hints in it." www.mumandworking.co.uk"This is a must-read for anyone who's on the move." Prima"Beat the stress of moving house with advice from Sandi Mann and Paul Seager. Their wise words include selling, buying and dealing with banks, estate agents, removal firms, children and neighbours." Country Homes & Interiors"The book opens with the thought process which most of us have gone through when we decided to move. It sets the mood of the book by taking an emotive process and turning it clinical - which will appeal to many of the readers." Pharmaceutical Physician"Focuses specifically on the psychological tips and tricks to help you keep your blood pressure down when you move house." Move or Improve"This book is funny, easy to read, and if you've got a spare two hours and a move looming ahead of you, it might be worth a look." familiesonline.co.uk

Product Description
They say moving house is one of the most stressful things you'll ever do. And they're not kidding: nearly half of house movers have conflict with their partners about the move; half of house sellers hate showing viewers round; a third of house movers regret their move; and, half house sellers/buyers are unhappy with their estate agent. Buying or selling is bad enough, but most people are probably doing both. And if you're moving with children or animals the stakes get even higher. Mortgage problems, buyers who pull out, chains, dealing with solicitors, leaving a house you love, settling kids into a new school...yep, it's no surprise it's so stressful.Which is why occupational psychologists Sandi Mann and Paul Seager have written a book to help people move with the minimum of stress. In "Upping Sticks" they've drawn on information from their own survey of house movers and what makes their blood boil, and they add loads of tips, character profiles, case studies and checklists to help people relax and stay chilled as they sell their home, find and buy the new house, cope with moving day, get children - and even pets - through the move, and finally settle in and meet the neighbours.

I have a 6 month old daughter and this has been my best purchase since giving birth! I highly recommend this book for all new (and old) mums out there.

I scanned it in one evening and have a waiting list for it among my friends. Its best selling point is its amusing, no nonsense, decide for yourself approach. Read this before any other "how to be a fab parent" guide. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It is clear and simple - even a new mother can understand it and our brains do turn to custard. It is funny - don't make me laugh with my stitches in.... It is practical and wonderfully helpful. This book has made such a difference to me. I was quite scared of being a mum for the first time and the other books were too technical, too full of jargon and i felt I was being patronised. This is written on a level that is just right - bet the author is a real mum who understands life from the other side and not just a writer with no real hands on experience. Brilliant book. Brilliantly written . top marks for reassurance and simple practical help. It should be given free to every new mum in every maternity ward in every hospital in the country. Why isn't it? Come on NHS - do something innovative...... Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
