I thought I was doing well with 10 houses in 22 years. I'd kill for my own garage. <_<

I think if you look at the official stress list, moving house and inconsiderate neighbours are front runners,just behind bereavement and divorce, it's no wonder your fed up Babe.

Well here's wishing you and your lovely family some peace in your new home this time Hun. x

My parents moved house constantly while I was growing up, depending on how well the company was doing. Ended up living in an Aunties spare room a couple of times.

Then the upheaval of being a young man about town and having no real place to live, then I skipped to another country and was again always on the move there as well.

By the time I settled back in NZ I went and bought a house and haven't moved since, and If I have my way I never will.

From the front fence to the back fence...Its my domain, and I stalk it like a king.

My word is law.

Well, apart from the places where the wife has any say in it, which is pretty much the entire house and the entire section.

But the shed is mine, Oh yes, In the shed I AM KING.

well, apart from the fact that we are in the process of turning the entire front half of the shed into a studio for the wife to start her business.

In the back portion of the shed mercifully left to me.....I AM KING.

And in-between the shed and the fence, where the weeds grow, I'm king there as well.

No need to move...never home

[McDuck]

about to move a 4th time in 12 months, how about that?

[Nasty]

I was 14 years when growing up in the same place ... moved constantly when went flatting .. and now just over 13 years in the home I shared with Grub ... I have decided to stay when I am ... so hopefully won't move for a while!!

[sels1]

can ya top 11 in 6 & 1/2 years?

Nope...but with that much practise you should be good at it!:laugh:

I've shifted quite a few times and its a load of stress and hard work. And it takes a while to settle in and feel at home. Hope it all goes well for ya

Buggar eh? It just keeps shrinking away ... but hey ... YOUR STILL KING!!

[PirateJafa]

I have moved 20 times in my 20 years of life, including both the northern and southern hemispheres.

Why do I bother unpacking?

[Trumpess]

Nope definately cant top 11 moves in 6 & 1/2 years.
Im sure you will find a scantuary one day, that you can plant your feet and settle.

Growing up, my family moved heaps aswell.
Dad worked for the Ministry of Works as an electrician and on the Railways, from one end of the country to the other, Dunedin, Kaikoura, Wellington, Whangarei, Timaru, Twizel, Kaiapoi, Timaru, where I spent most of my childhood. Then I left home at 15, went flatting, ventured to Brisbane for a year when I was 17, then back to Christchurch. I would have moved about 6 times in ChCh, then found my very own little hole I call home. Been here for the last 12 years.
My total is 16.
Will I move again? Who knows :lol:

[Buster]

We were asked to move out after being here for only 4 weeks! The landlord assured us the place was comming off the market and even requested we sign a 12 month lease! Total idiot really. I was ready to punch him out.
It ended up going to mediation and turned into a big mess. My partner was in total shock, tears, the whole works, and the kids were only just getting settled in.. poor little buggers...

It ended up we asked for compensation and we walked away with 7 grand. Not bad but we still have to find another place and the clock is ticking!

I would recommend going into a fixed term lease if it suits your situation.. at least you might get a new bike out of it!!

Cheers mate :2thumbsup

[MyGSXF]

Funny you should say this bit coz I notice you live in Nelson. When we left Auckland we looked at Nelson and Invercargill as options. Took into account availability of jobs, average salary and the cost of a decent house. when I was appalled at what you got or your buck in Nelson coupled with such low wages I was told it was called something like "Sunshine Wages". What utter arrogance from the local employers so I decided emphatically on a move to Invercargill.

I say this here coz if you had lived in Invercargill you would probably have got a geat house first time around!

I've put a little serious thought into moving down to Invercargill myself (although it would mean leaving everyone up here). However, I've also had soem thoughts about jobs, and not too sure if there would be anything available for a junior vet nurse (me) or a job for Indy.

dairy is massive down there, they are better off with the slightly shorter growing season with plenty of water to make use of it. you would find work, just probebly not small animals....

true, I'm more of a small animal person. I've had pretty much zero experience with large animals, so I doubt they'd hire me over other more capable people lol.

true, but there are not thatttt many people down there, you may well be the only applicant, like with my job, they advertized it a while ago and got one appicant.

Perfect, You would expand your experience and capabilities ten fold.

Making a move is all about leaving your comfort zone and discovering new opportunities.

[McDuck]

Plus i am 2m walk down the road form MSTRS and youngatart, sweet....

yes, i know I could do that, but to be honest I'm a bit scared of large animals, having not been around them much at all and I tend to panick and so they tend to sense that and all hell breaks loose.

I was like that with PTO shafts and tractor mowers etc. You get over in about 10 min.

And further more the boss was 'with' me (walking along side or keeping an eye on me) for my first 5 hours of my working with the new concept. This ment that if i was so much as 1% unsure about somthing i could pull the emergancy stop and the boss would come over and see what was up.
I only need to do it once and that was becuase the temp gauge was getting a bit high for my liking, that was it.
