To wonder if you are happy living where you are now?

[superstarheartbreaker]

And if not, where would you like to move to if you were in a position to do so?

I live in a lovely little market town and it's where I grew up. It's beautiful, surrounded by country, I have great friends here and dd is settled in her school.
However, i miss urban life, the culture, the opportunities, the work scene. , the men.

If I could I'd move to the nearest big city Bristol which I love but I'm a single mum and I fear a move as I have a lot of support here.

I love our house - the street isn't amazing but the location is good. I love the high ceilings and space. Most people ask when are going to do it up, but in a weird way I like that it's not plastic at all. (Although the bathroms are dire). Also I'm used to the draughts and find other better insulated, smaller places a bit stifling.

"No, I am not! I live in a lovely little market town. It's beautiful, surrounded by country, I have no friends here because it's where everyone here grew up and they don't need incomers!

I grew up in the Black Country and lived most of my adult life in London. I'm a Londoner by adoption and by preference - but, once you've left, you can't afford to go back. I like the smell of rain on farmland, but love the smell of rain on concrete! I don't like the sound of late-night search helicopters, but prefer it to the sound of late-night blasted sheep. I do not consider a queue of ten cars a traffic jam, I hate that people who don't know me know everything about me, and I miss being able to walk into a busy pub without it all going quiet. I'm not surprised if a person isn't white, am not scared of foreigners, and wish I could still buy foreign groceries at my local shops. I'm definitely in the wrong place!"

I could have written this post myself except that I grew up in Ireland, not the Black Country and I have a couple of friends. I lived in London for five years and I've lived here for five years and I'd go back to London in the morning if I could afford to.

However we have a baby on the way and I know that this will be a great place to raise a child. The schools are good, the healthcare is very good, there's next to no crime. But it is dull dull dull, I have nowhere to buy ingredients to make fancy foreign food, it's very hard to make friends as everyone has known each other forever, and anywhere you'd want to go in the evenings is at least a twenty minute drive to the nearest big town. I'm definitely not a country girl.

No. I'm surrounded by gypsy camps.

If I'm not being robbed I'm being sexually harrassed.

I want to move.

I love where I live. It's a 5 minute walk from work, 15 min walk from the city centre, shops, station and cinema. I have a gym and swimming pool on my doorstep, and live opposite a big park. I'm also a 10 minute cycle from my parents and most of my friends live within a 2 mile radius.

Our flat is a bit damp but not unbearably so and the rent is affordable and we even have a small garden. I really hope my landlord never wants to sell!

I'm unbelievably happy. I live in a very tiny house in one of the loveliest areas in Edinburgh. It feels very much like a village despite being 10minutes walk to the heart of the city. I hope i can afford to buy here.

Live in a small village, which I love and hate.

Love that everyone knows everyone, small good nursery and school, countryside walks, etc

Hate that everyone knows everyones business, you have to be careful not to upset anyone as there is no choice of nursery and school to move to, the cattle farm and slaughterhouse smells, etc

Love my house, but will love it more when we have finshed the work on it.

I'm reasonably happy because it's better than where I've lived in the past, but I don't love it. It's not my dream location or home.

I want to live in a village, or a small town by the sea. I want a garden.

I don't love it (modern boxy house in the suburbs) but it's right for us at the moment - safe, good schools, lots of parks.

I want to live in central London and be able to walk back after the theatre in the evening, not slog out to the end of the Tube line. But no-one's going to give me millions of pounds to buy something the three of us could live in comfortably, so I'm in the 'burbs for good, I think.

Love it. Can't see us ever leaving.

DH and I moved our family to the US towards the end of 2013 (we're both dual UK-US citizens through parents), and we live in the Greater Pittsburgh area, in a leafy borough of Allegheny County. The city off Pittsburgh itself is only 25 minutes away.

It's a gorgeous area, the people are wonderful, and the schools are fantastic. Not to mention that it's MUCH cheaper here. Our house is something we could never have dreamed of affording if we'd stayed in England (Surrey).

I think we're here for life.

Super I feel for you, I have often wondered what I would do should something happen to DH, for sure I would not be able to meet a man where I currently live, its hard enough to meet normal friends.

So much more opportunity in a big town.

Garlic I feel your pain also, we are in small town, loads of stunning countryside etc but the town is not a patch on London.

I love London.

I live in East London and i'm happy here. I'm not a true Londoner so I don't know if i'll stay here for the rest of my life as i'm not near any of my family.

I think London is absolutely brilliant for bringing up younger kids. Free transport and in my area free swimming and so many great parks and museums and and a whole load of stuff to do with them no matter what the weather is like. I really think London is amazing for that.

I do worry about secondary schools though and them being teenagers in the big smoke but that's a good few years off for me yet.

We moved to Southend from London a few months ago, our friends were horrified. Essex is generally not 'chic' to people who aren't from here. I don't understand it and Southend is a great place to live. I think it's the last affordable place that's easily commutable to London.

We bought a massive 4 bed detached house here for less than our south London one bed pokey flat. Absolutely love the house and space. Location is great too, brilliant schools, two big parks within walking distance, 30 min walk to the beach, loads of amenities and stuff for kids to do.

Most people are really friendly and it's been easy to make other Mum at playgroups. Only down side is a lot of drunks live around here, loads of housing benefit, litter being dropped in my garden, loads of fly tipping etc. BUT I can walk to the shops and nice restaurants, fishmongers, butchers and bakery. Plus we can get to London on the train in 50 mins. Both me and DH grew up in small villages and led very sheltered childhoods. As a teen I absolutely hated it and couldn't wait to get out. I think diversity is really good for children. As I couldn't stand living in a village with people twitching their net curtains when you're reversing out of your driveway, where I live absolutely suits me perfectly :)
