4 although I don't remember the 1st one as I was only 6 weeks old when we moved to the house I then lived in for 24 years. Have owned 2 houses since leaving home and have been in current house for 26 years. I'm 54.

WhenLifeGivesYouLemonsx · 01/02/2019 17:26

11, 12 if included the house I live in now

irregularegular · 01/02/2019 17:39

Same house for last 13/14 years.

5/6 with parents. I've reacted against that. I want my children to have a clear home town.

8/9 student and pre children years.

(Not quite sure whether to count some).

2 countries

7 villages/towns/cities.

BitchQueen90 · 01/02/2019 18:48

14 houses in 4 completely different counties over my 28 years of life. 15 if you include the 2 months I moved back in with my parents after my split with exh.

Been in my current place nearly 5 years, the second longest I've ever lived anywhere. I rent it so I'm still not in my permanent home.

I can't wait until I can buy my own place and stay there. I've moved so many times that I've never really felt settled.

RaiderOfTheKitchenCupboard · 01/02/2019 18:49

My childhood home, uni halls, 2 uni flats, flat with boyfriend, first house with fiancé, current house with husband. 7 altogether.

The boyfriend/fiancé/husband all the same person, that’s just what he was when we moved into each place.

Isth · 01/02/2019 18:54

4 homes in one county Grin the best county, so it’s all good.
Childhood home til 5ish
Second childhood home til 19
Moved in with ex til 21
Retreated home (abusive relationship)
Moved in with now-fiancé at 22/23 I think

shazkiwi · 01/02/2019 19:03

9 houses in 4 countries. Cant wait to move house to a different area but realistically that won't happen for another 10 years so I'm trying not to dwell on it.
