ORIGINAL: windchymes No, there is no such thing as a "happy" move, sorry. It's like happy root canal or happy journey through the bowels of hell. Ugh. Well sometimes, yes, but not always, at least, not for me. While I certainly haven't enjoyed every move I've made, I've enjoyed a good many of them ... the excitement of moving to a new town/city, to start a new job ... I really enjoy that. It also helps if you've got the money (or your new job pays for) to employ people to take the shitty stuff off you; the packing, the humping of boxes and furniture, etc. Otherwise yes, that can be a real pain. One of the nicest I had was when, with 2 days to go, lacking at that time the cash to pay someone to just do the lot, and with my back playing up something fierce, I had a bunch of mates and a couple of exes turn up out of the blue to box up and lift everything for me, into the rented truck (I've got a "small" goods vehicle license, though not one for big rigs) and then I drove it to my new place about 150 miles away, a bit concerned as to how I was going to get everything out on my own ... ... to find another bunch of mates, and some of the first lot, had come over to help me move in. I bought lots of beers and we had an impromptu house warming party too. Nice :)
