I have been here about five years......and still feel like I'm settling in, Petal... so I couldn't imagine moving every five years..but I have a friend who does and loves the challenge....
"Light will appear at the end of the tunnel" is a great way to look at it....I always said to MrG if things were rough.....Oh, something'll turn up! It always did...
Best of luck with everything....Gx

Having had to clear the houses of a few relatives, I found myself needing to clear my roof-space in order to install new insulation. In view of the ghastly experiences I had had with those other houses, I resolved not to put anything back in the roof. I think the insulation men left a carpet there, but only because they couldn't move it. Nor can I - but all the clutter has gone.
I regularly look at my "stuff" and ask myself - "when did I last use that ?" and "When shall I next use that ?" and if my answers aren't good enough, out it all goes.
Freecycle, mostly.
