Will be moving this weekend

moving cheaply just takes a lot of planning. we asked family and friends to help out and we rented a truck so it really didn't cost us a whole lot, just pizza for supper and the truck costs. i did all the packing myself over several months (i had a 2 month old and a 4 year old when we moved into our present house and have lived here for 15 years!) i dread moving again just because we have so much more stuff than we used to have.

Good luck in the move. I do hate moving so. Ugh! I bet you could get some of the bathroom stuff and bedroom too through places like yardsellr, freecycle and such as that. Sometimes they have great sales at the stores too. Alittle at time is fun too. Moving can be expensive but not if you plan ahead. Hope it goes well for you.

I have not had to move in years. I would have to sell lots to even get ready. I hope you really like your new place.

When I moved here from the city It cost a lot of money for me. I'm here in town three hours away from where I came. I rented a close truck, I looked for some hiring truck online and I made a good deal they give me a discount. But still It's too expensive I just gonna plan to sell all my things and buy a new one rather bring it on my town.

I am glad that you are finally moving. I hope I can move out soon because things at my parents home is getting worse. I only live with my parents because Randy's health had gotten worse and at the time I needed help. I am hoping that once we get Randy's disability (we are waiting to see if he gets it) we can start looking for a place to live. I had moved from Idaho to Nevada and it was expensive. We had to rent a U-haul truck and I had packed everything on my own. One week before we had moved Randy had spent the night in the hospital because his blood sugars were high and he was so disoriented to the point where he had no idea who he was or who I was. He kept telling me to get out of his house because we were not married (of course we are married). I am not looking forward to moving again, but we have to because Randy's blood pressure is getting high and he is under so much stress. I am hoping that eventually we can buy a house out of state (we both do not like Nevada), but we need to make sure we find great doctors.

Moving out is fun but it sure is a bit stressful and expensive. We have just moved last year and until now, we still have a lot of things to add on our new house. It takes a lot of planning and consideration to the whole family and of course, money is essential. Plus, new faces and neighbors to meet and be friend with, should add to the stress. Anyways, good luck on your new house .

I have not moved in so long, I do not know. I am sure it is a big expense, and a lot of work. It is also very satisfying to make changes for the better.

always. especially when ive lost my own house and the kids always say i have to much stuff and need to yard sale it. then, i move and find i need the stuff i sold it makes me so mad at them. but id do it again for my own bathroom since i now share one with 3 other people that are nasty messy bunch. my lucky son has his own because he has the master bedroom.

When we moved before, there were just so many things we needs lol so yes it is a bit expensive to move but then you can get it one thing at a time.. unless you have the big budget so you can buy all you need in one trip. but it will all be worth it especially if you love the place.

I remember when we move here in our new built house. It takes me almost a month to put things on its proper places. On the first week, I have some relatives to help me with the cleaning and moving things - primary things. But since we need to buy new things- I have to do it myself because I don't want to sound demanding to my relatives as I know they also have a lot of things to do at home and work as well. My kids are too small to help me by that time either. Thanks, it's been 12 years and now all I need is some upgrade with appliances. Last two years ago, I changed almost all our appliances from TV sets, fridge, washing machine and a lot more. But this time, I have my kids to help me with the moving and disposing things.

I'm totally the same with you.I moved to my new house not very long time ago and i feel like really good mood coz i can have a new environment and all new appliances.Anyway,good luck moving and start a new life.

if it is really necessary moving is fun but at the same time sad because you will left all your friends and loveones behind specially if you are moving to a really far place. It's expensive, tiring and will really need a lot of your time. But that's the way life is. We have to move on and be brave to have a new adventure.

I absolutely hate moving and such a pain. I know people who move all the time every few months. I just couldnt handle it to be honest. I wish you luck as its very stressful. Im sure with time and patients you will get all the tiems you need and best of all a bathroom to yourself. Right now I basically have it to myself the odd sharing. But while in college I use to have one right in my bedroom which I liked. When I did move in the past normally I got family and friends to help and paid my Dad to help move the big things.

I transferred to another house last Sunday. It really takes time and money. Lucky to me also, i have my close friend who supported me that's why I saved a bit.

Yes, it can be 'way expensive! So many things don't fit or look right or haven't been thought of... But it can be fun, too. Getting towels and wash cloths in just the right color or finding sheets that you really like for what you can afford is a challenge and can be a lot of fun. Like you said, you can get by until you can do better and that can be part of the fun. I think sometimes we (I) get too negative and forget that challenges are part of life. Enjoy your new home!

I can't wait to move but I have to wait lol, I think you have stores where you can buy bedding cheaper and you might even try ebay or other online stores as well.

Congratulations PQ. That is wonderful. I wish you well. I am so happy for you. Have a great day!

hi dear PQ its really a big expense to move. I dont recall my first two moves in life as I was too small, I was almost 2 and then 4 when we moved first to my beloved Grandma and then to the house my mother had bought. The move with 19 to another town where I studied didnt really count as I only had to bring my personal stuff there and no furniture as I stayed in a students boarding house. My first real move was when I was 31 and had rented my first small apartment. It needed wallpapering, I needed a bit of furniture for kitchen and bedroom so it was relatively expensive plus it took some time till I could actually move as I am a zero with practical things and I needed a company to wallpaper the place first. LOL. Then I moved here where my husband still lived. It wasnt this expensive cause we chose to use my husbands old furniture and a few pieces of mine, the only expenses were the wallpaper, flooring and hauling of some bigger stuff. I am glad that it will take another 10 years or so till we will move again, when I wont have to work anymore and we can move to a place closer to shops and church then.

Definitely when we have plans in moving to a new place, I believe it pays to prepare somewhat, substantial amount of money, and concerted effort by our whole family is also needed as well. Especially when we planning to move from our town to a totally different town. You have to fix and prepare everything, even from the smallest detail. Earmark some amount for freight charges, utilities expenses, especially if you have movable furnitures and fixtures. Maybe, also some amount for other incidental expenses. With regard to the new place, we may allocate some of our money for renovation expenses in the future. I believe, money can be earned in a span of time but It really pays to have someone, like our partner or relatives or friends, around when we really need their assistance in planning and in the actual moving in. Good luck in your new house...
