moving

[Dragonfly]

Can I just take a minute to say that if I remembered just how much moving blows...I wouldn't have tried to move again? OMG I haaaaate packing! I wish I had enough money that I could just leave everything behind and go buy new stuff. Argh

I hear ya! It's quite a tedious process that I've had to do quite a few times in my life. Sometimes a good adventure, sometimes sad. Look at it as a way to purge all the junk! That way you're only unpacking your most favorite things. And if you can enlist a few good friends, that always helps.

[IMHO]

It would be nice if there was a compnay that would come in as you go out the door and they pack it all and deliver...for a reasonable price. I am not sure what regular MOVING companies would charge.

i know, Im jacked about the purging process already got rid of lots, I just dont know where to start lol

Yes, most people are aware of moving services.... She was just venting about the process because not everyone can afford a moving van and movers....

Dragonfly, Trust me, its much easyer to pack that re furnishing something... My last move we litterally refurnished a two floor house, anything that a mouse may have touched, steped on, pee on pooped on was taken to the dump, Im talking coats, boots, hats, mits, couch, chairs, everything..

last oct when we moved we did this...... and now have totally refurnished a whole house, beds, mattress, washer dryer, couch, dinning set, t.vs, clothing, right down pretty much to pictures on the wall, plates, pans, pots, etc..

I wish We could of taken the other stuff, but between mold and animals, coming into the home, we replaced everything and anything we could... we went from oct to dec with out a couch... and that sucked.

But on a happy note we are pretty much set.... the only thing and I mean only thing we did not purchase new was a fridge.... and thats cause it was only about 5 yrs old.

Good luck and best wishes....

LMAO I never would do it. It would just be nice to be a millionaire and be able to afford all new things haha

[A*lil*Loopy]

I'm in complete agreement dragonfly! We're currently moving and it sucks the big one. We're moving an entire farm but aren't able to live in the house until November. My stuff is in a storage unit in the yard and a temporary tarp shed. All else is going to the dump including my furniture because there is no room to store it. Our lives are upside down right now and I've never had so much drama and chaos.
Tomorrow I skip work and move 3 horses (via riding them, ugh), 3 goats, 88 chickens, 25 ducks, 12 turkeys, 6 dogs and I'm sending my cat to live with my son. We will be living in an 8' overhead camper for two months. We're trying to be optimistic and think of it as a marital test.

So moving does blow.

[Dragonfly]

oof. Glad Im not you Loopy!!!

Dont have to be a millionaire, just I guess have to have things in place to be able to do it, it was a 4 yr preperation on our part.... and had to be done, do to our little guys health....

and we were not putting stuff that was subject to that conditions in a new home.. I wish you the best of luck.. I cryed even though it was ruined, it was still what we had worked so hard for....

[Dragonfly]

I wasn't implying that you were a millionaire LOL I was just saying that it would be nice to be a millionaire so that I could just go on a shopping spree and get new stuff rather than pack all this...crap lol

[cleo6223]

were doing that actaully right now its deffiantly not a fun time at all

[lynys]

We are getting ready to move too. Problem is, we have to do some renos before we move into our house, and don't have the time to do them. lol Ah well, it won't be much...

[Dragonfly]

Im glad Im still renting cuz then the landlord can do the renos lol
