Just pondering today as I have been off work so I have been pottering around the house!
Previous house was a large end terraced property, ideal on paper for a family of 4, 3 huge bedrooms, massive kitchen diner, epic ceiling height etc. Lived there for 15 years, redecorated every room multiple times and it never felt like it was 'my home'.
I couldn't take it anymore and rather than redecorate (again) we decided to move. We bought a mid terraced property with exactly the same floor plan as the old house but it is much smaller (most would see this as a downside!?) The kids still have their own rooms but they are about half the size of the old house and we are now on a main road. Sounds awful right?
I absolutely love this house, from day one it felt like it was 'mine'! Like I have always lived here, I didn't need time to settle, I never pined for the old house - in fact I couldn't wait to get out and move here.
I never even think about my old house, the amount of money and sodding hard work we put into the place and it's like my brain has just blocked it out!
I was wondering, as there are a few threads about people that move and miss their old place if there are others like me that have moved without a backwards glance to their 'real' home?
