The good and the bad things about moving

I used to live in a two bedroom terraced house but it was getting difficult to get my disabled son up and downstairs to his bedroom and the bathroom. I spent months wondering if I would be able to afford to move to a bungalow. I put my house on the market and looked at a 3 bedroom bungalow that I really wanted. I was so very lucky because the second person to look at my house agreed to buy it. So I made an offer on the bungalow and it was accepted. Though it took months for my sale of my house and my purchase of my bungalow. All the paperwork took much longer than expected. Finally I moved in August last year. I began getting many boxes and then packing over several weeks. The last minute rest of my possessions packing was really stressful. I felt sad looking at my empty house but I was so happy to be moving to my bungalow. A lorry took all my belonging the short distance to my bungalow. It is a three bedroom semi detached bungalow. It is situated in a quiet close and it doesn't have any passing traffic. It is on flat ground ideal for my son's wheelchair. It only had carpet in two of the bedrooms. I had to buy flooring and curtain rails plus curtains. I bought an electric fire for my lounge and had a new kitchen fitted. When I first moved it was chaotic with boxes everywhere. I like not having stairs to struggle with anymore. I enjoy a fresh new start and more space for my things.

I had to moved from Michigan to Texas, but i really dont want to. I miss my friends, my teachers, my school, my house, everything in Michigan but I know that I never can get back to there anymore except when I grown up. My new school is very sucks, I have to endure every single day as hell. Everything happened so suddenly, I can't immediately adapt. But my mom she working here, and my cousins are very kind, they want us to stay with them. Life in here is normal, I like Texas but I hate school in here, I can't stand anymore that everyday i have to see that stupid school.I'm stuck in here and dont have any solution :((

Moving somewhwere new is a different experience. A good thing about moving can be the new experiences and environment you will now have. A bad thing about moving is not being able to take the treasured friends you have found with you. I don't mind the packing and unpacking. sometimes that's when you will find something you think has been lost to you.

hi Porcospino, May you feel comfortable at your house now. I moved last time about 1,5 years ago. at my place now I feel so much better than my previous place. But, no doubt, all have good things and bad things.

I like travelling,but I do't like changing my living place.I found that from the followings:I live two place there are my working place and my hometown.I usally live where I work,And only live hometown in spring-holidays or other wacations.I don't like to go home before wacation and don't like to go working place after wacation.Though I love my families and like my work.I very frighten journey on trains even in spring-holidays.The mess in rail journey is horrific to anyone.I very like travelling and relishing beauty spot in free time except in holidays.

When I was still 10 we moved to our final house which we really bought and owned. But before that we were kinda into moving from one place to the other. There are so many consequences in moving, especially to other unfamiliar places. Although moving has its good and bad sides of the story, you kinda think of it as a new start all the time, if you were old enough I mean. But if you were just a kid back then when moving, it makes you sad, leaving a couple of things behind, good and bad friends, best friends, crushes and puppy love. But when you arrive at your new location, you'll eventually cope and say, I gotta make some new friends.

We moved in September and love where we live. We moved from a very small 2 story apartment in a pretty bad area of the city to a nice bungalow about 5km from that area. When we moved, we were amazed at the difference between the old area and the new one, and it was quite pleasant. We found that it was not only nicer but quieter than where we were and a lot safer as well. Over there, we had to triple lock the doors and there were bars on the lower windows and a motion sensor light on our door. Here, we can't always lock our front door due to the the expansion of the frame, but so far nothing has ever happened to us, but of course, you really never know it. I don't like moving, but sometimes it's necessary when it comes to safety like it was when we moved. Being in a bungalow, at least we don't have too many stairs, so moving heavy stuff wasn't so hard, but it was awkward due to some tight corners in our home. It took us a while to unpack and set up, and a lot of our furniture was damage by the movers. That really made me angry and the sad thing is that the moving company didn't want to do anything about it. Over time, we have replaced some of these items on our own, but have learned to adapt without them. We have enough storage to put things away now, so we're not tripping over anything, and we have more room to move, which is a bonus for us, we were really cramped in the other place we lived at. Now we even have a driveway, don't have to worry about people parking in our designated parking spots and risking our lives to get cars towed away. We also have a backyard that is huge, and it now means that we can have a proper garden instead of planting vegetables in pots like we used to do. I'm happy where we are and hope that we don't have to move for a long, long time.

The worst thing is putting the boxes inside the house! And unpacking, there's nothing like. Now when getting out from the old home, that's a good feeling!

Hi, Porcospino! To pack and unpack all your belongings is difficult but for me there is a good side about it. You can get rid of many stuff that you don't use. I made such a moving 10 years ago and I left a lot of things near the trash container. I'm sure that today I have a lot more to discard. I left a house where I was living with my late husband and I turned back in the appartment that I inherited from my family. But both homes are in the same town and the same neighbourhood. It's more exciting to move in a completely new place. I wish you a nice life there.

Moving is pretty high up in the list of the most stressful things to do, so for me, I don't like it very much. The last time that I moved was 2 years ago and I still love living in my loft. It's just a ten minute walk away from the place I work, and it's right in the middle of the Central Business District. I guess if the move is well planned and taken cared of responsibly, it will lessen the stress associated with it. The only thing left that I would probably hate about it would be the unpacking and the time it takes to put things back in order in my new place. However the thrill of discovering a new neighborhood, meeting new friends and exploring new places do more than make up for the stressful bits.
