moved house?

I was just working it out, from when I was born, this one coming will be the 15th. Which would average out at about once every 3 and a half years :(

Twice in 49 years. That's probably the reason why I have hoarded so much rubbish!

twice, x

i have moved house 5 times in 54 years

Fiona aka Ruby, it is good for getting rid of hoarded stuff, but this time I seem to have just as much as ever... I am going to have to do lots of boot fairs after we move...anyone want 5 glass trifle dishes circa 1950?

I can beat you there Rose. 18 times in 43 years, and non because the OH was in the forces. I'll have the 5 trifle dishes please. Did you drop the other one. LOLOL

Julia, it's nice to know that someone else has beat me lol...I think the 6th dish went when we gave away a huge amount of glass ware 20 odd years ago, but I'm keeping the 2 big trifle bowls that were my grandmothers, even though they never get used now.

5 moves for me
1st at 6mths old
2nd 9yrs old
3rd 18yrs old
4th 19yrs old
5th 20yrs old

16 for me, if I include 3 different homes as a student in Wales.Other than that, I never moved at all until my 20s. then I got married and OH's job took us to various locations. My parents lived in the same house from 1936 to 2006.

The strange thing is that if people were tracking me in later census, I have always been in UK, yet I have lived abroad at 3 different locations inbetween.

Well was moved house as a baby back to mums family home. then as an evacuee was moved twice, back home again in 1946 . moved in 1957 then in 1961,then to this house in 1967 so guess in all 6 although most of em not of my doing. We bit the bullet in 1967 and moved out of London buying a new build in Kent and still here . next move most probably when the hearse calls!!!!!!
Sorry that does sound so morbid,mean we aint got any plans to move for now

As a child - up to the age of 15, I moved 12 times, went to 7 different schools.
As an adult, up to the age of 32 I moved 16 times, so that's 31 times in 32 years - and for one of those moves when I was a child, we stayed in the same place for 5 years!
I've live in the same house in Winchester for 22 years.

Chris - do you think we get to a certain stage where enough is enough!! LOL

9 times. the first four were kinda 2 cos I was born in my Uncle's house with my parents and Nan, then I was took to live with my Grandparents in their house, then I was back to house I was born in with my parents, then they moved to bigger house so I went with then, then Grandparents had me again and I moved into their bungalow with them, they both passed away so moved back to parents and was then removed to live with my big sister. So thats the first 4 and then my sisters house. Then I got myself a flat on the council it was a high rise. Married while I was there moved to the Vicarage had a child and one on the way so got a council house and then finally 15 years ago bought our first house and still there.

I get a skip every year or so to clear out the clutter. My OH is a hoarder. Wouldn't mind if it was good stuff but it's rubbish. He never throws anything out, he even keeps old magazines, there no hope for him he is a hoarder through and through:-)
