I'm 16. We've moved house 3 times.
We actually moved for the 3rd time YESTERDAY! It was a very tedious day, lots to do..
Moved 4 times, can't remember the first flat, too small, the second was a house, quite liked it but my room was small, third was a bigger house, didn't like the area though and the current one is the best :woo:

Oh and I'm 18

In the past 12 years, I've lived:
2 places in Shropshire
3 places in Somerset
1 place in Virginia
4 places in Nottingham
2 places in Cambridge

So thats an average of 1 place per year.
I moved house when I was 9 with my family.
I'm now 18 and living in uni halls if you can count that as moving!
Age: 27

14 times, not including semi permanent locations in Australia when I travelled there for a year.
5 of which were of my own accord.

Gee! Do you speak Danish and German then?

I was getting reasonably fluent in German but I haven't touched it in a while now. Danish is fast approaching it in level, despite the fact that my other half is a big load of fail and forgets to speak in it to me. :smile:

My family moved house when I was about 1.
My parents have been in that house since then.
At 18 I "moved out" to uni, where I lived in 4 different places (different flat/house each year).
After finishing uni at 22 I moved to the town I live in now.
Then about 9 months later I moved into my current flat.

So if you include uni it's 7 times. However considering I spent about half the year back with my parents at uni, I don't really think of that as "moving out".
I'm 18 years old and I've moved 6 times, including moving to Halls at Uni a few months ago :smile:
I'm 17 and it depends really.

Moved when my little brother was born when I was two.
Then moved to another country when I was 9.
Two years later I moved back but to the same house as before, so it wasn't moving to a new house really.

My aunt and uncle have moved 13 times in the last ten years though!
Islington 1994-1997 Police flat... very small flat
Barnet 1998-2000 house was unbelievably retarded, 2 bedrooms with one ensuite bathroom...
Arkley 2000-2005 - Was normal typical house :smile:
Rural North Hertfordshire 2005 - Present. I love this house resembles the house from Howards end. surrounded by wheat and fields... only house on the road too... proper countryside :wink:

Uni halls don't count as moving... not for me personally anyway.

That looks so bipolar disorder-like. :tongue:


i thought about that as i was writing it!
If you exclude moving to university, I've moved once. Although that'll change to two as of next January.
With family? Twice.

By myself? Six times.
