Well, I'm all moved into my new apt....its odd to not have people here 24/7. Other than the little kids running around with their scooters, of course!
Moving horror stories GO.
Almost got into an accident on the highway in transit to the new place. :p
Congrats..May your new place be happy filled and big enough for a small party!! :D
No moving horror stories - usually things are awesome.
I did help somebody move once. She invited a bunch of people and treated us for food after ^_^
Easiest day ever. Zzzzz
Moving can be stressful, but aside from that I don't have any horrible stories about moving.
Except for the fact that I had to move/change schools soooo many times when I was younger, which wasn't fun.
When I saw the thread title, I thought I'd finally landed the Nicolas N'Koulou transfer I'd been dreaming of.
I need to stop playing Football Manager.
last moved was from Derby to Manchester - so like a 2.5/3 hour drive. Doesn't seem far eh? We had an ANCIENT van that wouldn't go into 4th gear so had to somehow slide it from 3rd to 5th (well my boyfriends granddad did) and exhaust fumes got into the cab area... and then my boyfriends grandma insisted on joining us... so 2 people over the age of 70 x_x and grandpa found it hard not to drift between lanes on the motorway... going into the fast lane at one point.
Never again man... oh wait.... he's helping us move next week...
We borrowed my ex's van for the transfer. Somehow, all my crap fit quite nicely into there, including a futon. Futon mattress FTL. >< Foldable my foot.
Anyways, we were on the express way, following said van, when all of a sudden some schmoe decided he ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO get into our lane. Thank the gods that my brakes were up to par, or I'd have to change my screename to ValkyriePancake. :p
I hate moving. Such a headache for everyone involved.
"oh hey, why did we have to buy ALL SOLID AMERICAN-MADE FURNITURE?! this stuff is heavy!"
that's about it, really
I moved into a new apartment, and now I have like no money.
Fun story.
uhauls are expensive
the end!
I packed all of my :bou::bou::bou::bou: into a Plymouth Breeze and drove 1400 miles to the worst place on earth.
I hate moving.
The only time I really moved was after my house burnt down so not much needed to be moved.
hold up, say what??Quote:

i'm so glad that abomination is gone.
my dad managed to lose the screws for my dresser + vanity mirror, so the mirror is currently just kind of...off to the side, leaning against the wall, and my dresser is sitting there with a bunch of junk piled on top of it, barely used. :(
Last time I moved it was several states over I was moving, so naturally I did the smart thing and loaded up my 12 year old barely running car with all my worldly possessions and no spare tire in the trunk. And no form of roadside assistance.
And, I got a flat. In the middle of nowhere. In Missouri. Thank God for cellphones. And the patience to wait five hours for a stranger to show up with a new tire. :|
