Are you a serial mover or a stayputter?

[petal]

Moved so many times I have lost count (about 30 including 3 times whilst abroad) until 5 years ago. Its a great feeling to stay in one place for a while.

Just put the house on the market yesterday! Have been here 5 years (having babies!)which is the longest I've ever been anywhere...we're bouncing off the walls now as we're so wanting to move!

In June of this year I will have lived in this house for 21 years. It has seen me go through a divorce remarry and have my daughter. I would love to move to a bigger house with a bigger garden. I have four bedrooms but three are really small, There is only three of us but I cant really have anyone to stay. We are considering maybe moving, the house needs a lot doing to it. Maybe if we did the work we would stay put.
Over the years since I was born I have lived in 8 houses in 54 years. I must be a stayer !!!

At the last count, I'd moved house more than 20 times in 20 years.
I think it goes with the territory when you are renting and poor: the places you can afford tend to be damp & horrible, with frightening neighbours (and landlords), so you move as soon as you can.

I really hope to be in Mr Shed's house for a good few years, so I can do up the garden. Even if I end up burying him under it

I'm definitely a stay-putter- which has made /is making this move over here so difficult.( but it certainly is a better 'quality' of life mentally here!)

[SlugLobber]

Not as bad as some, but I've moved far too many times for my liking. Due to one thing or another, I moved 4 times in one year during 2006-2007. Have been in current house for 2 years, almost. I only plan one more move and that's when I move in with OH, into his small holding. Amen to that!

Lived in 1 house all through my childhood. Whilst in Uni lots of flats - grotty, grotty, grotty. In 15 year of marriage have lived in Canada, Ireland and Scotland. Moving 1 final time back to Glasgow - outskirts, to be closer to friends, work, hospital BUT will only move to 2 bed bungalow with an even bigger garden than I already have

As a child, Ma & Pa got their way up the property ladder by buying a tatty house & doing it up, so as soon as the house was done, we moved - every 2/3 years til we moved to Yorkshire. After I left home (17) I lived in 9 differnet places til we moved here 10 years ago. This is the longest I've ever lived in the same place, and to be honest I've been desperate to move for a few years now. But there's no way we'd get this size or bigger house within our budget anywhere else, so looks like we're stuck.
So I've been a mover, now I'm a reluctant stay-putter.
