No wonder it was so crap

I've been counting up our house moves...

1. May 1992 - We move me from San Marcos into our first apartment in Austin. I have to drive the big U-haul because J doesn't have a US drivers licence.

2. Dec 1993 - We move from Texas to England and live with Jason's parents in Raunds.

3. April 1994 - We move in with Jason't friend Craig in St Neots. Very "Three's Company".

4. June 1994 - We move into our first flat in Cambridge on Newmarket Road AKA "The Condemned Building".

5. June 1996 - We decide to try living in the country and move to Stow-cum-Quy into a 250 year old cottage with no central heating and ninja mice.

6. June 1997 - We move back into Cambridge and live across the hall from Jenny & Kieran in Chichester House. Happy times.

7. January 2000 - We kick off the millennium by moving to London and have a tiny flat on Glentham Road in Barnes. Still manage to play cricket in the hallway during one rainy Boatrace day.

8. March 2001 - Move to Japan and have a 7th floor apartment in Kio-cho, Chiyoda-ku in Tokyo, just down the road from the Imperial Palace.

9. March 2002 - Back in the UK and we head back to Barnes. This time we're on Castelnau Gardens which becomes Toby's first home.

10. March 2003 - Follow friends and move out of London to a flat in Mulbarton Court, Chislehurst, Kent.

11. October 2003 - Buy a little two bed Victorian terraced house in Chislehurst.

12. October 2005 - Miss London too much and while the rest of our friends are moving deeper into Kent we buy a flat in Blackheath, SE London. Rosie is born two weeks after we move in.

13. 2007 - Our thirteenth move. The one that didn't happen...
