37 years old and 9. Same place til I was 18, then moved around a bit through Uni years and few years after. Now settled in what I hope will be our family home for a very long time (ideally til we're old enough to want to downsize!!). I'm hoping, like both me and DH with our childhood homes, DD will be here until she is old enough to choose to move out (be that Uni or otherwise).

I'm 51 and I counted 26 houses. But between 0 and 19 I lived in 2, between 40 and 51 I lived in 2. All the rest was in the middle. My 20s I was especially mobile.

I'm 48 and lived in 12 places. Enjoyed the memories thinking about this Smile

ladybee28 · 02/02/2020 20:14

I'm 32 and have lived (as close as you can 'live' anywhere with my lifestyle) in 26 places.

Moved around a fair bit as a kid, then travelled a lot as an adult.

One was a treehouse, though, one was a yurt, and one was a boat. Don't know if they count as 'homes', although they were all I had to call home at the time Grin

Aybeesee · 02/02/2020 20:15

DD (4) lived in 2 places.
