A research study found that an average Briton is likely
to move house at least five times in his lifetime, and for every move, he finds
himself facing the numerous stresses associated with moving home. In fact, the
same poll revealed that about two in three Britons considered moving home at
the top of their stress list, higher than any other typical emotional ordeal
they would have undergone (such as divorce).
When asked which moments or stages of the move caused
the greatest stress for them, respondents cited misplacing possessions and
realising that some furniture don’t fit inside the new house as the top two.
Meanwhile, a quarter of those surveyed admitted leaving their possessions untouched
for weeks before they were able to unpack all the boxes.
