Are you a serial mover or a stayputter?

Sooooo when the next one due?

On the bright side, moving is the perfect way to have a clearout!

HAve moved since birth from Barking (2 homes) - Peterborough - Dagenham (2 places) - Eye(P'boro) - Abbots Ripton (nr Huntingdon) - Godmanchester - Haverhill (2nd house here)

Haverhill is where I have lived as a 'grown up' and if Steve hadn't had the bankruptcy we wouldn't have left the first house at all. All the moving about as a nipper was down to the fact that my parents didn't really like being married to each other all that much!! 10 homes in 31 years, not bad although I'm a definite stayputter now. Would only move again if we were able to buy land and build our own.

a friend of mine in the past 10 years has lived in the Shetland Islands, Nottingham, Lincolnshire, Hampshire, Chorley, and is now in Spain, she is married to an army man. I wont see her for another 3 years.

born in darwen
6 months later moved to houghton
preston when i was 4
nr blackpool when i was 16
preston at 18
greece 3 houses 18-20
sussex 20-21
preston 6 houses 21-30
wigan 31-33
ashton 5 houses till now (been here 4 years)

would happily move again, but i quite like it here, and can't afford to and OH thinks if i move it should be to barrow, i think he should move here, so basically unless one of us wins the lottery, we're both staying put

if i do win though, i'm gonna get a house in the country where i can keep an elephant, and if he doesn't wanna move with me ..... tuff lol.

so 21 addresses ........ an average of once every 2 years ...... guess that means i'm a mover.

[where2start]

I find it very therapeutic to move so often, its a good way to get rid of clutter.....

[FionaH]

Kind of did a British hippy trail aged 17 to 20. Moved here and stayed put after I had the boys

I'm happy with my lot and have worked hard to make my house a home. Am grateful that I have a small mortgage in a reasonable area. Really don't see the need to move, especially now I've got the nearby lotty so don't have the same longings for a larger garden. Like to visit other places but am always happy to come back to my home. Think I lived in one house until I was about 12, another one till I left home at 18 then moved about a bit as a student and when I started working between the ages of 18 and about 26 (about 5 rented properties) and then have been here since 1996. Can't imagine ever moving unless I won the lottery and was able to buy my own small holding without getting myself into serious debt.

[miffy]

I moved quite a bit as a student mainly because the accomadation in Birmingham was so dire you had to move due to the damp etc.. I have only lived in two houses since the first we lived in for seven years and the second we have been in for nearly 13, thinking about it i have had the same number of OH's as houses!! Plan to hang onto this one though even if i do move again!! I used to be a pepetual decorator rather than mover, but i have chilled out about the house now, it is a home not a show house and with two fellas, a dog, a full time job and always being outside there isn't the time to be pristine.
