I've finally put my house on the market. This will be the 4th move I have done in my adult life. How many times has everyone moved. Is 4 average?:)

I don't know the average lady penelope, but the house i'm in now is my 7th since gatting married at the age of 21. Hopefully this is staying put time because i have no desire to move again, we have been in our present house for 10 years past on 25 January this year and if we don't move again for another 10 years it will be too soon. Te he. Heres hoping. ;)

well I just tried adding them up, and excluding places where it's literally only been a week or 2 in the past 29 years I've moved house (as in changed where I live and taken all my worldy goods with me) a total of 34 times! :eek:

I have absolutely no plans to move anywhere else at all for the foreseeable future.

Just be my normal happy self :D

But I've also had a lot of jobs, and been to college and university in that time.

And I've also just remembered 2 other moves!

Excluding my parental home, I've had two - a rental for a short while, then this one. Once I put down my roots, I'm no keen to shift, lol! [lol]

Before I was married I lived in 9 houses. I have been married 31 years next week and am on house number 8. Only the second one in Caithness since we moved here nearly 16 years ago.

Since I left home to go to uni etc. 6 years ago, I've lived in 6 different places. I hate moving, I just chose some dodgy flats! Have been in the most recent one for 3 years though and not intending to move unless I can get on the property ladder sometime soon (unlikely!) or the landlord wants me out.

We've had nine moves since getting married, I couldn't believe it when I counted up - I daresay we'll have to 'downsize' yet - either that or the next stop will be 'a home for the bewildered' :confused

LB :lol:

I have moved 6 times since leaving home, and the last 2 moves have been in the last year......moving up here last January to a rented property then again in july when we bought our home.

And i aint finished yet, will have a couple more moves in the future too no doubt:lol:

Think Nick in the North wins hands down for moves! I've moved 5 times so far in the past 18 years. I hope it's a while before I have to do it again.

29 moves with furniture/all belongings (there was a time when I had no furniture;) ). Four different countries....or to be more exact, five if you count England and Scotland as 2 instead of one. A rolling stone gathers no moss.

I have only lived in 6 houses since I was born, but only been in Thurso for 6 years and managed to live in 3, been in this house almost 3 years and not ever moving again - unless it is out of the county. Last 2 moves have been either very pregnant or just had a baby. Never again!! babies or house moves lol!

22 proper moves, 5 of which were in Caithness. 6 countries. That's all I can remember anyway. I'm about ready for off again.
