22 but I think I might have forgotten a couple.

coodawoodashooda · 05/04/2022 11:20

13

Tarkan · 05/04/2022 11:23

5 and every single one was an odd house number.

Two Avenues, one Road, one Drive and one Gardens.

One of them was a one way street and is the reason I look both ways crossing any one way street. People going the wrong way was a daily occurrence.

We just bought our first house at 40 and it’s my 18th. We also lived for a time in a hotel and a campsite when I was a child 😬 but I didn’t count those.

Roselilly36 · 05/04/2022 12:28

1 flat
1 Maisonette
1 House
1 Bungalow - no plans to move again 😂

Timeforausernamechange22 · 05/04/2022 12:34

7 (4 as a child and 3 as an adult) I’m 37, have been in my house 13yrs now and I have zero intention of moving

swingmybing · 05/04/2022 12:34

I'm not the happiest where I am now the amenities are terrible and we have a harmless but very mad neighbour. Moving is so stressful.

100PercentNever · 05/04/2022 12:36

20
I expect to move again in the future

Rayna37 · 05/04/2022 12:37

01-18: 3 including one relocation
18-21: one per year (uni)
22-30: 6, all houseshares except a studio abroad for 6 months, all but one move due to relocation

Total 13 plus halls of residence?

Furrbabymama87 · 05/04/2022 12:39

8 since birth. I've lived in 4 different places in the last 6 years due to shitty landlord and a bad area I had to move from. Been in current house 4 years so far.

Cattenberg · 05/04/2022 12:40

I’m 40 and have lived in five properties, soon to be six, I hope. 1 Avenue and 2 Streets in the UK and 2 Dreven in the Netherlands. I think “Dreef” translates as “Walk” or similar.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 05/04/2022 12:41

8 or 9

I think 8 for definite

iklboo · 05/04/2022 12:45

7 since birth, likely be 8-9 by the end.

SiobhanSharpe · 05/04/2022 12:51

Five in 2021 alone. (moving house, much delayed)
Before that, about 11, not counting university accommodation which would add another three.
Also. Just returned from a two month stay in Spain, which we've done before -- would they count?

deadlanguage · 05/04/2022 12:53

9, including 2 outside of the U.K., but not all of them were actual houses - I’m counting uni halls for example. I’m 27.
