Kind of both. =/ I'm moving out with my boyfriend first. Then we've got to find a decent place that allows dogs for my mom and dad to move into because I promised them that I'd help them get out of this hell hole once I got out. Biggest problem would be finding something they can afford. So I'm not really moving in with my parents but I'm moving out with them. Did that make sense?

Bleh, paper work. xD Bad neighbors can definitely ruin a house.

I've already moved once this year and I shall be moving again in December.

Bad things about moving...well I think the worst bit is actually finding someplace acceptable if you're on a time limit, hence why I'm moving twice in the space of a year! I needed to get out of my parents home fast because of my sister. (Long story) So I took the first place that was within budjet and allowed pets. Unfortunatly it was a hell hole. I'm actually scared of the oven, celler and bathroom! Everything was coated in an inch of grime and it's still not clean! I took it on a six month lease which ends in December and I had no intention of staying there. Too far from work, scary, too small, the list is endles. But I've been searching solidly for three months now and houses either get taken far too fast or have no pets allowed. Total and utter nightmare! But I've found one.

Once you've found your place moving is actually uite fun if you make it...and don't deciede to move in when your city floods (Yep I moved in when Sheffield was under a foot of water, go figure!)

This time we're borrowing my aunts girlfriends huge ass van and moving at a nice steady pace. Boxing everything up and labelling it and finding places for it all to go. This place isn't even finished yet so when I move in December I won't have to get out the brillo pads just to look at what that black thing is :PI'm enlisting the help of friends and my rather large family and we're going to have sorta like a party as I move. Make the best of it, get the stereo hooked up and some music going and generally just have fun. It can be tedious if you let it, the trick is finding a way to do it all in one go so it doesn't drag on and making it fun.

I might move later this year too since my parents are going to have to find work after they dump this restaurant job we've been managing.

I think the best things is starting over. You can make a good impression, and make different type of friends.

The worst things is that there's a chance you'll not find any friends while knowing you had some before. You could also start off on the wrong foot and feel homesick already.

I want to move out of the house since my parents don't let me go out of the house at all unless they are home (362 days a year they are at work... = I don't get to play outside at all). My parents have trust issues - I wish I could just order pizza or chinese take out on the phone! I want to buy stuff online and let it arrive to my door - my parents don't want me shopping online in fear of having my identity stolen.

I want to stay because I get home cooked chinese cuisine every day since my dad is a chef. Isn't that great!? <3 Nothing like Chinese food. Also, I doubt I'll be able to speak cantonese every day if I moved and I'll lose the language...
Then there's also my friends who I will definitely miss. T_T

Oh, I know what you mean. It's pretty hard to find a place that accepts pets, especially if your pets happen to be big dogs.

You moved in when it was flooded? O.O So you had to wade through a foot of water to carry everything into the house? That's crazy. xD Definitely gotta have labels. It would be horrible to have to look through all the different boxes just to find one thing.

You're right. You've gotta make it fun or it drags on forever. This is why I listen to music while I clean. Anyway, chances are my boyfriend is going to get some of his friends to help us move stuff and I know at least one of mine will come help. Get all those guys together and you're bound to be laughing your butt off all day. xD

Good luck with your new place.

A lot of people seem to be moving. You've got a good point too. If you don't make any new friends, it would definitely be crappy. I get homesick easily so I'm really not looking forward to the first couple of months. Well, half of me is.

Wow, they won't let you go anywhere? That's pretty sucky.

I'm 16... old enough to drive! >.< I just haven't gotten around to getting a permit.

Hopefully you'll be too busy hanging around with your new friends to feel homesick! I remember when I moved here a couple years ago. It was my first time moving and I just looked at the new walls in my new room and had no motivation at all to do anything.

I would gladly move if I could right now. I hate it here. The weather sucks, I don’t have any friends around here and my work environment sucks at one of my jobs at least. What would make me move? It wouldn’t take much that’s for sure. If I had the money I would move, if I knew I could get a job where I went I’d go, and if I knew where I wanted to go I’d go.

Why would I stay here? Well, I have a fairly nice house right now. It’s an older house and I like the old Victorian style of it. I also like that the area I am in has a low crime rate and I don’t have to normally worry about anything being stolen or being stabbed or anything like that. Learning new roads sucks for me because I have a horrible sense of direction and it takes me a while to figure out where I should go to get to where.

Sheffield is a city upon 7 hills. The valley between these hills is the main city center and the very expensive places to live. I live up a nice hill! My new house will be up a nice hill too so my house wasn't flooded, but the roads too it were washed out. It took us 4 hours to get from my new place to my mums place and we got stranded there. The power went out to a lot of homes and they're STILL restoring the roads and buildings. My friend Paul lives in the riverside flats (7 hills, 5 rivers not a good combo) and the ground floor of that complex was almost entirely under water! It was a pretty horrendous day. But luckily for me I live up hills so my flat wasn't flooded but we did get rather scared driving to collect my things and then gave it up and finished moving the next day :P

I have "small caged animals" so it's not as hard, but still pretty hard! I have 3. soon to be 4.

I'm just going to get my family and maybe invite some friends to help out with the move. I have a house party on the 14th so if things aren't all in order by then everybody at the houseparty can muck in and finish :P

I love where I'm living right now, so I'd really not want to move. The only thing that would make me move was if we couldn't pay the mortgage.
I didn't used to mind moving, as I never liked where I used to live, but since we've found this place, it's pretty much perfect, so I wouldn't want to loose that perfection.

Will they let you go somewhere once you get your permit?

Well, I know some family up there so I'm hoping they'll show me around and stuff. It's something to do at least.

I know how you feel. That's pretty much what I think of where I'm living now.

You have a Victorian style house? I bet that's very pretty.

I have a horrible sense of direction too. It's especially hard when you're trying to find your way by yourself and you're trying to keep your eyes on both the road and the street signs.

Oh, okay. That's not so bad then. Here I was picturing someone trying to carry a couch without dropping it into the water. xD Floods can do a lot of nasty damage. We had a hurricane a few years back and the water started rising and destroyed a lot of things around here.

What kind of animals are they really?

That's pretty awesome. I hope I can find a place I like that much.

In one year I moved 3 times.
I lived in the same town for 16 years and out of those 16 years I moved a total of 7 times.
That's a lot of moving.
And a lot of school changes
and a lot of changing friends.
But now we are somewhere where it is easy to pay for rent and the houses are so cheap.
It's nice to know that i will never have to move again
because moving really, really sucks

2 guinae pigs and 1 (soon to be 2) bunnies. But I have Giant bunnies. Charm is 2ft long and like 16lbs...(can't do conversions very well) over a stone heavy. My second bunny will either be large or Giant as well simply so Charm doesn't accidently hurt her.

Oh no, nothing like that. Besides my current place came furnished. But no, we just couldn't do it. as I say we had a three hour trip to my mums from mine, mornally it's around half an hour. Every single road was under water. We went up one hil, down, the river rivelyn had burst, up and down, loxely had gone, up and down, don had gone, up and down I can't remember that rivers name but yep burst its banks too, up and down and the road into my parents village runs parrallel to the little don which...oh yes...had not only burst it's banks but also managed to actually take the road with it! The road was crumbling as we were driving AND was underwater so we almost ended up with a dead car!

Wow, that is a lot of moving. I couldn't imagine packing, unpacking, and repacking like that so often.

Jayms_fallen_angel -
Giant bunnies? That's awesome.

Wow, it sounds like y'all definitely had an experience. Kind of ominous, moving into your house in the middle of a flood where everything is getting torn up. xD

hell yeah! Unfortunatly he's a house bunny who likes attention and pees on my bed when he doesn't get it. Giant bunny=giant pee. He's a rescue though (Only had a week left to live when I nabbed him) so we have a fair bit to work on. I will get him to stop urinating on the bed eventually!

hehe yeah, it was a memorable move! My best friends town was completly submerged all bar his road. His work there was only like an inch on the first floo not underwater :P the road to my moms house is still missig, the road to my work is missing...It's crazy! Especially as we live very high above sea level. People are really shocked that we got such a huge flood so high up. So of course we pumped the water out of Sheffield and into Ulley resevouir...Ulley Damn cracked! The biggest, bussiest motorway got closed around ulley, an entire town evacuated and the firemen are in Sheffield pumping it into ulley and another lot in Ulley trying to get it out and stop the damn breaking....I think another city lower down got flooded and they were blaming us for pumping it to them... *laughs* fun.

Naw I will alway remember my move with fond if somewhat cared memories. It always makes me smile. And if that can make me smile, it just goes to prove that moving is what you make of it.

Jayms_fallen_angel-
That's pretty funny. Plotting bunnies. 'Heh heh heh, don't wanna pet me huh? Well now, how do you like this?!' xD

That's a lot of water everywhere.

He startled me first time he did it. His pee is white...I was like :shock: *double checks his man parts* Nope properly neutered...It's always white! Then again the pigs pee orange when they eat carrotts so...*shrugs* But yeah that's basically what he does, which isn't fair because if I'm not fussing him I'm asleep! so he goes to the bootom far end of the bed and pees! Luckily double bed so he doesn't get me and vinegar is good for getting rid of the stuff, but it's still not very good, naughty plotting bunny!

He won't be allowed in the bedroom in the new place though. My current flat has a combined living room/kitchen/study/artroom so it's not safe for him in there, but my new flat has a seperate living room so he'll be confined there till he learns. And you know he's plotting because I fully litter trained him! He was fiine till he learnt he could reach the bed in a single bound. From standing. Now...he doesn't do it anywhere else bar hi litter tray.
