Jean I did the 1st 11 yrs in one place and since then was here of 6 yrs and 3mths

Fifteen, not counting when I was in the army., In 75 yrs. Longest in one place, 28yrs.

Maggie - it is even worse as when we moved in here 30 years ago it was temporary until we found the house we wanted!

I have a relative who recently had his 94th birthday.
He still lives, as he always has, in the house where he was born.

My family moved once when I was young and from the age of 18, 8 times.
Think we will stay put now!

my hubby's brother and sister on the other hand are still in the house they were born in, the house their father was born in, the house their grandparents moved into soon after they were married and they are the only family ever to live in the house.

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:-)

Next week will be 1 move to many in my moves. lol
next week it will be 31 not counting the 2 yrs of squats and bus-shelters. but including boarding school and 2 lots of digs at college.

and in 11mths time it will be 32. ..I'm getting too old for this lol

edit upps I missed 2 moves out !

lol compared to some of you I have led a very stationary existence lol.

Maggie I think the crown is yours!

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.

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

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
