![7 newborn must haves and 3 things you don't need... [CC] [AD]](/img/1.gif)
Pro tip: if you are someone who likes to re-decorate frequently and gets sick of things easily, DO NOT WALLPAPER! It is an absolute pain to take of! Unless it's a small accent wall, and even then I'd think long and hard if it's worth the hassle.
Yep, when my parents bought their house my room was covered walls and ceiling with bright yellow, floral wallpaper (very popular in old rural France). We papered over the walls and painted the ceiling because the old paper was so thin there was no way to get it off. Then recently I wanted to renovate and had to just paint over it. There's no way to get 2 layers of wallpaper off, or at least not without weeks of work.
As someone who's underweight, this pandemic was super helpful. I put on a few pounds, and I'm glad, since gaining weight is a struggle for me.
Glad to hear you are getting healthier! Best of luck, and stay safe ! 💜
Super proud of you!!!
I'm from the UK, I moved around a lot when renting but buying to me is a really longterm commitment. My grandparents have lived in their home for 30/40 years and my mum for the last 10 years. I'm super glad you're doing what's right for you and that you're happy in your new home!
yeah i’d agree, i’ve moved around a lot too but when you buy a house that’s usually a commitment, you kind of expect to grow old there or at least be living there up until you have kids (then maybe move into a bigger home)
@@mimi-fs8di I disagree. My first bought house is a small 2 bedroom place, I have zero intention of staying here long-term. For a lot of people they buy a small place to get on the housing ladder and then sell it fairly shortly after to buy somewhere bigger. Most people can't afford to buy their long-term house outright so they get a smaller place first, do some work on it to increase the price, then sell to get somewhere better.
@@Smurfgirlrhianna That's all fair but I think a lot of people also never make enough money to move on from that first house they got - if they even got a whole house. So like, I guess people buying a small house in order to sell it is just... a little astronomical to me? But I do get that that's possible for some, and I'm super stoked that Jamie and Shaaba are some of those people, they deserve it ♥
@ I'm guessing you're in Germany? From what I understand it i's way more normal there to rent very long term or even forever. In the UK it's more expected that you will buy a place, or else have to live in council subsidised housing (which is fine, not everyone is privileged enough to be able to buy in their lives). The use of the term 'astronomical' seems a bit judgemental to me to describe the idea of buying and selling a house, it really shouldn't be a huge thing in the 21st century to expect that from life.
Edit: Just to add, I think this impression of house buying as being this unattainable thing is definitely new in the past few years, and I hope it doesn't become normal because everyone should feel that buying a house and upgrading when needed should be something they can do.
@@Smurfgirlrhianna Yeah I'm in Germany - And I agree, it's probably specific to where I live how everyone mostly rents and doesn't buy places. I didn't mean it in a judgemental way btw, I do think it's horrible that people can't afford it - I think everyone should be able to, especially if they work full-time. Just meant that the reality is as it is here, not that it should stay like this ^^'
Thank you for talking about weight gain during the pandemic in such a positive way! I've definitely put on weight and, although I'm now mentally at a point where I can start introducing new healthy habits into my routine, it's been hard not to blame myself so it's lovely to be reminded to be kinder to myself :)
I also was taken aback that you're moving again, but I don't want to judge. I figured you have your reasons - you might have come across an opportunity you couldn't pass up; you might be preparing for kids; you might have been in an inconvenient location in your previous place; you might have other issues with your previous home that we don't know of. Where I live people usually move way less than every 3 years (more like every 10 years) but you do what's best for you.
The thing is that it costs a lot and is stressful as heck to move. That's why people hate it.
That's what I think, I'd rather not move unless there was a major reason. Also uk mortgages do good 5 year term contracts, so most people tend to stay for at least that. People I know have always said a good rule of thumb is to buy some where you want to live for at least the next 5 years. But it's up to personal choice completely, because most people I know who don't own move houses a lot because they want to.
Not if you don't have tons of shit.
As someone who lived in 11 diferent houses in 18 years, "just" three years in the same place sounds pretty fine to mek
For me, I've only ever lived in one house for my entire 23 years, until I move in with my fiancée this year and that will make it 2 houses for 23 years 😊
The purple flower's a hyacinth!
im in the u.s. and lots of military families move around a lot but most ppls only move for work or otherwise stay in the same house or area. my family moved a lot because we are quite poor and have to move once rent in the area goes higher than we could afford. we moved about every year of my childhood and i attended 11 schools growing up.
I went to 32 elementary schools. Once moved 13 times in 10 months! I have been in my house now for 16 years and am never gonna move again unless I am forced to by age/illness.
Lies, a lot of people move even if not in military.
I grew up the same way. Rent went up and forced my family out every 2-3 years. So many schools...
I reckon how I see it (also UK), people tend to move really frequently when renting, but then there's more of a presumption that when someone is buying, because this is a longer and more involved process, that they're gunna stay there for like 5+ years.
I’m from a military family, so I forgot moving relatively frequently isn’t “normal” until the beginning of this video 😂
I can't imagine moving more than I have to (ie for a job, money etc). Once I move into my first 'proper' house later this year (cure a student) I don't intend to move again unless I have to for a new job or my landlord makes me! I have only moved twice before with parents so moving is really hard for me, I get too attached to places!
Same! Only I've never moved before so I can't imagine what it must be like
I am from the US and have moved close to 25 times in 30 years. (my mom would move at the end of each lease term growing up). 5 years is the longest stretch I have lived in one place.
Pollo looks so excited to go out! If he does go out and not come back for longer then you are comfortable with you can try putting his litter box outside the door. Cats are supposed to be able to find it from quite aways away. Just in case he gets turned around.
I live in Virginia, US... I'm in my 30's and have lived in the same house for 13 years.
Also... Dreamies(?) are called Temptations here! 😁
They're called Catisfactions here in France! Same packaging, just a different name.
@@TheAnabargagli the same in Spain
I bought a house a year ago in the US, and I don’t want to do that again any time soon!! 3 years seems like such a short time when you own the house. I moved a lot as a kid, but being the adult, moving sucks. Lol.
Continental Europe: moved 19 times. - Hasn't your cat a chip? Cats here have chips implanted/ injected. It's easier to get them back.
Take care! Thank you very much!
Yes, we chip cats and dogs in the uk too, but it’s still a stressful situation if you don’t know where your pet is, and it’s obviously important to train your cat to come home when you move to a new place, as opposed to going to the old place
The purple flower's called a hyacinth :)
UK covid stuff: I'm unfortunately back to college b4 the vaccines reach my age group which is v stressful!! I'm hopeful but somewhat not as cases seem to go up when things open up but it does seem better than before so fingers crossed! With regards to non-mandatory stuff (college!) Its nice to also think that it can be taken at our own paces- like if me & the rest of my family who want to hang out aren't comfortable going & seeing each other in June- thats fine- we can do so when we're ready. Also yess!! Thank you!! The 'diet/lose weight before you see people' rhetoric is so shitty & absolute rubbish!! I've taken to rolling my eyes whenever I hear it! As you said, there is nothing wrong with weight gain & to anyone reading who is worried, pls ignore all of the societal pressure bullshit & be you as you! Your body is awesome & weight doesn't dictate worth but actually most importantly- any weight is amazing- all sizes are beautiful & its only a close minded, brainwashed group who have made you think differently. Also Thank you Shaaba bc in 2020 i started being more body postive & your body postive clothing vids really helped me with that 💜
Shaaba and Jamie moved just when I got settled when I moved lol
Good luck in your new place! :)
@@harrietbond840 thank you!
I've lived in my house for 25 years. It was my first place (apart from digs at uni). I was 25.
My parents still live in the house they moved into in 1974
as a military kid, I've moved so many times that I'm now numb to it. it used to be so painful to just pack up and leave all my friends but now I see it as a fresh start and a blessing. I think as I get older and after I graduate uni, I'll still have an urge to move every few years, like it's just routine.
I've moved only four times now but I've also never lived anywhere longer than three years, since I left my parents' home. And I'm planning on moving again in a year or two. So I don't think it's weird to move again. But I was under the impression you guys bought your last house and that feels more like a longterm commitment to me.
Personally, I find it a bit odd that you moved that much😅 however everybody is in a different situation 💁♀️😊
I am from Germany and I moved once, when I was 3. I am in my early twenties now. However, a lot of german people move when they go to university. I have a room at my grandparents house that I stay at when I have to attend classes in person (they live close to my university) so I didn't really move as I am at home a lot (especially with Covid)
I hope you have an awesome evening/day and enjoy your new home😊❤
People who own houses in the part of the US I am from don't typically move much after that. But, my generation, it isn't uncommon for non home owners to move every 1-3 years. I've also heard that if your cat manages to get itself lost, you can put their box outside and they will smell it and be able to find it. The butter thing is interesting!
thank you for your positivity! that just really saved my day
I’m in the U.K. I’ve moved a few times in my life. I’m so pleased you have moved I just thought after all the stress and frustration you went through with getting the house together in your last place maybe you would be there a little longer but still am chuffed you are in a situation to move to a nice cool place closer to family, friends and work.
As for the lifting of the restrictions, I’m dubious that it’s actually going to happen when they say it is but I’m also hopeful that we have a small light at the end of this very long dark tunnel. It’s been a hard struggle for so many people and I can’t wait to get back to some kind of normality (whatever normal is)
I love these vlogs shaaba and you x
i love your chill vlogs!
Love the vlogs and love you and Jamie hope yall are having a wonderful day
Thanks for ur lovely lil message at the end - just what I needed 💕
You are so cuteeeede
The way you speak makes me happy
Shaaba's pep talk at the end will be powering me through the summer thank you very much
i love mama shaaba and vlogs!
Shaaba, Thank you for putting the body positive message during your vlog and especially at the end. I started to feel a little down on myself recently (I am 57) and then I "smacked" myself on the forehead and realized I can live just fine in my body. I am sure that you have so many young women looking up to you. They watch and listen because you are a role model, a friend, and someone they can relate to in some way. Thank you for being so amazing.
Omg I love the part when Jamie just goes around sweeping in distress in the background. this reminds me so much of me and my gf, I’m a Shaaba chill bean and she’s the Jamie high-maintenance bean 💞
I think it makes perfect sense for you guys to move right now! Besides, even if I didn't think it was normal, who cares? It's your life, you make your decisions. At the end of the day, you know what's best for you.
"We didn't have McDonald's for lunch! You had McDonald's for lunch!"
How I feel every time a friend rides in my car XD
Love the random singing! An operatic vlog. I’ve been in my house for 18 years. The thought of moving is daunting & I don’t even know how to approach it.
I get emotionally attached to places and obviously places my RUclipsrs live in as well ha ha. Your new home looks lovely cant wait to see you grow in to it :)
I am loving these vlogs.
I have lived in 30+ places, lots of moving as a kid but some as an adult too. You’re not the only one! I hope to buy a house for the first time this year and have it be my forever home - but I’m also in my forties with four kids, so a bit further along than you and Jamie.
Hi Shaaba, I hope you’re having a good week 🙂
What an exciting time! Again, a huge congrats on your new home!
Jamie, I feel ya, my friend.
Clutter and mess makes me feel extremely angry and anxious!
" A place for everything, and everything in it's place"
That's my motto👍
Don't worry, it will all come together.
Much Love, from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦... Keli 💖
Happy international women's day shabba, wishing you the best. You're very wonderful and I love your posts.
I'm in the US & one of your older viewers. My mother thinks my husband and I have moved constantly. I'm the past 25 years, we lived in 2 rented places, bought our first house & lived there almost 5 years. We lived in our 2nd house for 12 yrs and have been in our current house for nearly 5 years. I think in the US, if you rent it isn't unusual to move but once you buy a house, you tend to stay put. Congratulations on your beautiful new place!
Shaaba, you are such a delight! I love how excited and happy you are! 😊😊😊
And thanks for mentioning "covid weight." Almost everyone I know has gained 10 to 30 pounds over the last year! Including me! I'm so looking forward to returning to "normal" (if I can remember how 😆), and especially going to the gym again.
Shabba is literally the sweetest person ever.
Haiiiiiii, u are the best. I have recently moved and it is very difficult. 3 bed house into 4. These vlogs give me something to relate to. I have been moved in for just over 1 month now. Trust it does go from a house to a home quite quickly 😂 still pull some doors the wrong way 🤦♂️😂😂 xx
would LOVE monthly vlogs! Your positive energy is lovely and the day to day stuff is really nice to be a part of
Also in Australia: moving house varies per family. It is common to stay put longer for many families, (i.e. an upsize when a couple has children, and then stay in that home perhaps until they move out) however I know of some who have moved every year or two
moving from a swedish perspective: i think moving frequently is something you expect to do as a student (short term contracts, expensive af, renting from renters, or even renting from renting renters) but once you BUY a house or a flat, you are expected to stay there for a really long time. i know some people who move, but generally buying a house is something you do when you are ready to settle down (and maybe have kids, and once they have grown up maybe you buy a different house to fit your new needs). not that this is what you must do but it seems to be the most common :)
I was surprised you were planning to move on from the starter home after all the reno and decorating, but the new house looks lovely.
We are going to convert our garage to a gym. Great video Shaaba x x x
I love the excitement for normal things, I need to see other people with this energy! Makes me feel more normal x
is there anything you cant do!?!? youtube, PHD & DIY!?! haha! Also thank you so much for being so down to earth about moving, I'm 23 and pretty much stuck living in my childhood home with parents for the forseeable even though it's not good for my mental health - so you being so appreciative about your situation is lovely to see ^.^ Happy for you and Jamie!
We use the stick on wallpaper in our house on any non-textured walls. So good and so much easier than full wallpaper.
I'm from Italy (now live in the UK with my partner who's from here). In my experience moving is a very stressful and costly thing to embark on, so people tend to avoid it because of that. Also I believe in Italy we might have a very strong sense of "MY HOUSE" or "FAMILY HOUSE" and people only move once or twice in their lives, unless there's specific reasons (like changing jobs or needing a bigger/smaller house).
And when it comes to buying a house, it's so expensive and complicated that once you buy one, the idea is that that is your house for life (unless you need to change city for example).
Of course no judging! Everyone does what feels best for them! :D
the outro was great thankyou
I was so nervous for your cat too when you let him out
Edit: that "give em a BIIIG.... no" had huge Jessica vibes. I loved it!
For me it would be too soon to move, but everyone’s different. That being said I spend a lot of time on Rightmove day dreaming
Loved the Mama Shaaba segment!
I’m from America and have lived in the same house for 15 (out of 20) years. My family is middle class. I think it’s a lot more common to stay in the same house here when you own it. People move around a lot more when they rent (which usually affects poor people/communities).
Maybe it’s different in the uk but I’ve always been told you should own your house for 5 years before you sell it to build up equity so that was why I was surprised you moved.
i would LOVE monthly blogs personally ❤️❤️❤️
I miss these blogs. I like playing them in the background while I'm cooking or something.
OMG, sticky toffee cupcakes! Love, love, love
Jamie has great taste in snacks
i live in south america and i have never moved once in my life, and my sister who is going to be 20 years old still lives with our parents too, my friends have only moved once or twice for either economical reasons or to be closer to work or move into a better home because their current one has many issues, moving where i live is very rare!
Wooooo! The new house looks lovely! DIY excites me too 🤣
The main way my parents made money when we were kids was buying and selling property! 🤣 we started in Suffolk and moved further and further up north in the UK. (Yay cheaper houses!) I moved into my own flat 3/4 years ago (further up north!) currently trying to save for a deposit to buy! (Which is really hard when rent costs so much!)
Your videos are so wholesome! I live in the UK and I've moved family homes twice in 22 years, I think my parents will move once more when my youngest brother has finished school. But 3 years really doesn't seem weird, I think a lot of people probably move house more frequently in their 20s / early 30s and less as they're older and they might have more permanent ties to certain areas. Whatever makes the most sense for you!!
I looooveee your vlogs ❤️
Letting cats outside stresses me out so much because where I live there are a lot of predators and I feel like it's not super safe in the us to let your cat outside
When I was growing up, my parents would let the cats outside. We were constantly taking them to the vet for fight wounds, but I guess it never occurred to my parents to keep the cats inside? Well, one disappeared, never came back, and it was heartbreaking. When I got my own cats, who were feral cats that I trapped and tamed, I turned them into house cats. They don't miss it, cats are really quick to adjust. Instead we have a catio, a pet stroller, pop up pens, and I walk them outside on leashes, and with scheduled play time inside, they seem to be pretty content. Where I was living before I moved, there were rattlesnakes, black widows, cattle, coyotes, badgers, raccoons, possums, porcupines, big trucks, roaming packs of dogs and weird people, so I just felt like they were safer being indoors. Even though they're indoors, they still have microchips and are fixed and vaccinated, in the off chance they slip out. Plus, I lived near a bird refuge, and the ecological impact from domestic cats to native wildlife is staggering! Perhaps it's a different mindset in the U.K? I imagine they have less to worry about in regards to predators. I mean no disrespect to Shaaba or anyone else who lets their cats outdoors, to each their own.
Same. We have feral cats in our neighborhood which is my biggest concern, although we also have coyotes, bobcats, and fishers. I sort of doubt that the bears would be bothered with a cat, but my neighbor doesn't seem to care about animals when he's driving.
I always feel the same for a different reason. I can’t stand outside cats because they interfere with other people’s lives/houses (they didn’t get the cat, why do they have to put up with it?), they aren’t native here in Australia, so our native wildlife haven’t adapted to them, and they kill everything. ‘Pet and feral cats together are killing over two billion reptiles, birds and mammals per year in Australia’
Omg you are bloody amazing !
I grew up moving across the States. Not military. I consider no state my home. As a grown person, I get itchy if I've been in a place too long. I love the fun of learning a new town
I've moved about every two or three years since I moved out of my childhood home. Currently packing my stuff for the fifth time :D I just enjoy the change.
I'm in the US. My family moved once when I was 7. I moved about a dozen times between age 20 and 38. And I've only moved once since then (I'm 63). So I rarely moved except in my 20's and 30's. 😊
I think its normal for young people to move according to the needs. I do want to say that I love moving vlogs, but HATE with a PASSION to move.
I grew up in the US but my parents emigrated from the Netherlands. They both grew up moving quite often, but I lived in the same house from age 4 to 17, and then left for uni. I think in the US it's very normal to move around as renters when you're young, but settle down to raise kids. Now live in NL and it seems like people can buy a house younger here than in the US, it's so bizar to me to hear people thinking of buying a house already in their twenties as someone who grew up in the US, so I guess here it might be more similar to the UK? Although many of my Dutch friends also spent their entire childhood in one house.
A lot like other people, I think 3 years is a REALLY normal length of time to live somewhere if you're renting, but I generally assume that if you're buying you're planning on at least a decade, otherwise it makes sense to stay renting.
As a kid I never moved (parents moved in my senior year of college), but post-college with my partner I had one apartment for one year, a second one for two, and then bought a house with the plan to stay at least 10 years and probably much longer. Buying feels like a commitment to stay in one place long-term, it's just such a big investment. (lived in dorms for college and my study abroad, which I guess counts as moving yearly, but it's a whole lot less stuff)
In the US if you're renting its normal to move a lot. Most leases are for a year and so some people do move a lot. But its seen as a big commitment to buy a house. That's where you're gonna be for a long time. It's an investment. You're gonna make it your own, maybe raise a family, make memories. So its super odd to move soon after buying a house for most.
Ooo moving! My dad moved a lot as a kid because my grandpa was a UMC pastor, and had to go where he was appointed, but my mom only moved a couple of times when she was younger. My family is like my moms, we only moved once the old house got too small for our family.
I am from Norway and here it is normal to move to something bigger when you have been together for a while. So yeah, 3 years is absolutely normal! :)
You lovely creatures, you always make me happy when I watch you! 💛 So , I believe most people are confused because of the prices of the houses, they think once they buy one, they will be done. However, in places such as the UK or NL (that I live), if you buy a house it can be very well that the price has risen in the next couple of years, so if you've had a good year financially then you sell it, pay off the first mortgage, make a profit, and then you get a new higher mortgage but for a bigger and better house than you could afford in the first place. But it does take two people usually (two incomes) and it involves a lot of paperwork so it's not for everybody. But that is why it is so great to have a good partnership like you two have 💛
Yeah I remember in your previous vlogs, during the renovation I think, mentioning that you would probably be moving house in the next few years. And I remember being so perplexed, like, "Then why are they doing the kitchen?". I even spoke to my mum about it, I was like "How are people able to do this?". And then when I saw your vlog titled "we moved house" I was llike "WTF already??".
I suppose coming from a poorer background, and just the way we live, we tend not to do things that don't _really_ need doing, even if it's bloody annoying! We tend to just live with the annoying things because it's like "if it ain't broke don't fix it", my parents don't really want or feel the need for the perfect house. Me and my parents have lived in the same house for 16 years and there's still stuff that we are fixing/renovating that we hadn't done since they bought the place. We do all renovations ourselves to save money too so we are also limited to the skills, time and money that we have (though we are lucky that my dad is very skilled in DIY).
Also, like you said, there is the market to consider. From what I've heard friends do, it's quite easy to sell your house in England for a good price. But in France where I live, at least central, rural France, it is very hard to sell. It could take years, and when you do sell it, you'd be lucky to get back what you paid for it, and you certainly couldn't get back any money you put into renovations. So that's also something to consider, only doing renovations in a house that you _know_ you will be staying in for many many years.
That said, the last few months I decided to renovate my room, even got new carpet to cover the old horrible carpet that had been there since long before we bought it. I'm still struggling with the fact that I paid out to renovate my room, even though I plan on moving out next year (Covid willing). But I can 100% say, it was a relief to do it, for the first time I have a room that I actually like, where I have places to put stuff, where it's tidier and neater. It has done wonders for my mental health. So yes, now I get it, and if you have the money, it's 100% worth it.
EDIT : Also, your new house looks amazing and I am super happy for you guys!!! 💜
I'm from Austria and moved to Finland when i was 21, 8 years ago. In A i moved 2 times, but in Finland i moved to my 7th place two weeks ago.
Housing is expensive in Helsinki, so you live as small as possible and therefore move quickly when you have a better job or a new partner. My GF and I have been together for 5 years and this is our 3rd place together.
Bottom line: you're fine. Move just as much as you need to. ❤
American here. Grew up in the same house for 18 years. Next was 3 years. After that the next 3 homes were 4 years then a year and a half. Then a 9 month rental until we found a permanent place. Now this house.....17 years! UGH! I agree with you. I like new and different often. These 17 years have really made me a bit crazy. Biggest issue is we're not sure where we're going. Stay here? New state adventure? New country adventure? Now that our kid is 19 and I'm sure soon will be not living with us anymore (and one year on T tomorrow!!!!! Do I make a cake or something? :) ) we want A MUCH smaller house and yard! So we wait a bit more until we decide where we're going.
YES! Jamie my sour cream twin! Did he ever get his mashed potatoes mixed with sour cream? You'll need another container :)
My mother still lives in the house that she grew up in with her mother (and my dad). My grandma has been there over 63 years now.
I moved at 18 and I’ve lived in 5 different houses now as an adult.
I don’t think I’ll move again because we bought this one but my husband (who has moved more than you I think!) says we should downsize when he retires. It was stressful enough getting here with ten days to empty our old house!
i've been moving every three years or so recently, but that wasn't by choice. It was because I went into academia and so, PhD (with a mobility year), first postdoc and now currently second postdoc position were all in different places (well, different countries even, though all in Europe so far). And every time I find myself a new place to live, I always am in this mindset of "I'll only be here for 2 or 3 years, so, no point in doing much". 3 out of 4 times I've rented furnished apartments simply because I didn't want to deal with that hassle.
Long story short: I have moved around probably in similar time frames as you, but it always felt incredibly quick to me, I would love to be able to stay somewhere for longer.
US here, we moved A LOT. Growing up, we moved across state lines 5 times before I was in elementary school.
In school we moved 6 more times.
In college I moved 8+ times.
With my partner we are in our third place, bought our first home together.
Ive moved a lot too (but Ive rented, so I guess it s more expected), though I do think it's not super common where I'm from either :o Interesting!
Also I know this isnt the point of the video but cat psa for anyone reading, you can give your cat outside time with a harness, or a catio, or anything that isn't just letting them go out like that. I know its normalized, but they get hurt, they can die, life expectancy drops, they can catch so many nasties, and its horrible for the environment and other animals like birds and such too. Youre really going to be okay keeping them inside with play time and doing harness training for outside time, and it keeps everyone safe.
I've moved once, and that was when I moved out from my parents... I do plan on moving again, as soon as my economy allows it. From what I understand, people our age tend to move around a lot, both because they have to, but also because they find love, start a family, education in another city or a new career. Here it's mostly common to settle down, around when you start growing a family.
I bought my own little flat about 4 years ago, then my partner moved in with me 18 months ago and we're hoping to buy our first house together in the next year. I don't think 3 years is too short, my flat was always just planned as my first step onto the property ladder and I hoped it would be less than 5 years before I could move to a house because I miss growing vegetables and being outside in my own space so really would like a garden. My parents moved quite a few times when they were younger as finances improved and jobs changed etc so it seems logical to me.
I'm really enjoying these vlogs Shaaba
Red Leicester rocks! It's really really cool to see a UK vlog; most of the vlogs I watch are American so it's cool seeing Tesco! I'm sort of glad that lockdown is ending but I'm concerned that the virus numbers might go up again as not enough people are vaccinated yet. I guess we wait and see. Also, I hate wallpaper!!!! It seems a very British thing? But of course I love you guys and want to see you do whatever makes you happy. 😀
I did think it was a little odd, from the UK too haha. I figured you guys founded the house you want to stay long-term and raise kids etc so moved.
Also, kitchen looks so cool! with the little secret section behind the wall :P
Media needs to chill out, :/
xx
I would love to know if you plan on adding any fur babies ❤ love the new house vibes
hate moving with a passion (apparently possessions are like tribbles.. they multiply). Also once you have kids and find a solid school zone with a good community, you pretty much park your butt and stay - when childless it's not much of an issue but with children you don't want to uproot them unless you absolutely have to.
so exciting for the relaxation of the covid rules!!!! I cannot wait to be back in the lab!
I've moved a total of 3 times my entire life. My mom got sick so we couldn't live on the second (3rd?) floor and moved to a ground-apartment. That apartment was in a super bad area, we got threathened by boys in the neighborhood and besides the constant noise from neighbors there were people doing illegal stuff in the basement right below us... So my sister sold her apartment to buy us a house that's in terrible condition but I think it's still better and at least we have a garden :) I don't think this is a permanent place for us but for now it works
I grew up moving around a lot. Now that I’m an adult living in the uk I still move around often! It didn’t seem weird to me.
I'm from Seattle. Fifteen years ago, 3 years wasn't a short time in between moves. But we have (somewhat famously) had a bit of a rapid property value increase, which, combined with a number of other factors has created a highly competitive market. Now a days, people are afraid to move, because even if they can sell for 2-3 times market value, they still may not be able to find or afford a house they want. Some people are putting initial bids of over $200,000 dollars above asking price, and still getting out bid.
Would love monthly vlogs! Or just more vlogs in general.
