| Moving out checklist
Okay so tomorrow I’m due to sign the lease and get the keys for my first flat, at last! I’ve been making a list of general household things I need to buy (it’s about 4 pages long now  ) but sod’s law will likely ensure there’s something very important I’ll forget. Suggestions of things I’ll need which I may not have thought of? Even down to condiments etc which I take for granted at home!
And any other general tips on moving out for the first time?  |

Make sure you have millions of cleaning products so you can scrub the place from top to bottom before you bring your stuff in. Also, that you have loads of friends to help you do this.
Say hi to your neighbours, it's nice to be nice and all that.
Good luck! | |

Sorry, off topic, but on reading that post this dream just came flooding back into my brain.

Devastator did a similar thread last year I think. There were some really good suggestions in it, but I can't remember it's name.
Edit: Apparently not Miss Devastator, but I do remember recommending her cookbooks in said thread. Damm my lack of photographic memory.
