Good heavens Florence, I thought I had moved a lot in my lifetime but 22 times beats me (just)

When I was younger (like wot Tang is ) I too thought it was exciting and I never had a problem settling into a new home, but now I'm not so sure. Our big move (comming up in September) is currently being planned around our Rianna, she has never known anywhere but here so it has to be done properly and she must never be left withour one of us around (Luckily having elbowed the day job we can do that )

Good luck with the move!! Where are you moving to?

No I stayed put until the kids had been right through school. Apart from Jen who had just gone 'into the juniors' and didn't like it there so we were in the process of looking for a better school. It was only Jen who came with me by then. And she was happy as a pig in muck growing up in beautiful west Cornwall and Devon. She goes back there often. But wouldn't move back that far now she is working on the outskirts of London.

Most of my moves were made before I had any children from age 18 to about 30 when my second boy was born and I moved out of London. When I was a single career girl I moved every time I found a nicer bedsit or a place nearer the tube station lol! I'd perfected the art and could get everything I owned into my car.

I'll always remember when I moved from near Heathrow Airport in Middx to Berkshire with my two lads (both pre school then) and my GSD. We'd loaded everything into the lorry and cars and my pal Bob emerged from the house carrying my huge GSD like a baby in his arms and dumped her in the front seat of the lorry saying 'SHE is coming with ME!'

Gawd I still miss that dog and she's been gone almost 24 yrs.

Suffolk, we have the house, just got to get everybody and everything the 800 odd miles from one to t'other

Well there you go! I spent 3 months in New Zealand in the same house on holiday, I have genuinely stayed in holiday accommodation longer than you have stayed in at least one house

Hahaha oh what a life you've led T!

Wow that's quite a distance, we're only moving about 10mins further south in Bristol Good luck with it! I hope it all goes well

Wow! Must have been nice there for that long!

Well I hope my moving about will end soon, I hope the new place will last a few years

My germ of an idea to move to a beachfront house is now dead in the water.

Went to see it today to get the tel no. Had only seen it from the beach and couldn't read it that far away. Also wanted to see it on a blustery, rainy dull day too. Closer up I saw there were perfectly manicured lawns and stuff outside twixt houses and the beach. Not my scene at all. Imagine if Bella peed on the velvet sward!

Anyway the sign had gone. Whether it blew down in the recent storm or someone had rented it I don't know.

Bella stopped short of the grass anyway! Then headed back down to the sea where she had the pebble beach all to herself!
