Jinxing house move

3 replies

Strawberries86 · 31/01/2026 18:57

After a painstaking on and off again house move I have developed what my partner thinks is the beginning of some dubious mental health.

I haven’t dared look at the new house on rightmove as that will make it fall through again. Jinx.

When people ask if I’m moving I can only answer “hopefully, maybe” etc or jinx.

We are now due to exchange on Monday and complete on Friday. If we miss this then my sellers can’t complete until March.

So today Iv started packing. Iv Jinxed it haven’t I? Has anyone else lost all sense of reality around a house move?

YABU - you’ve lost your tiny mind
YANBU - house moving is mind blowingly stressful (and mystic forces could be at work….)

My goodness you could apply this to literally anything! I always (cheerfully if at all possible) hope madly for the best but plan for the worst. Have faith in yourself to cope Strawberries86, it will stand you in good stead xFlowers
