Tuumble's bachelor flat thread

I've been making a list of the items I need for the flat which I'm due to move into on November 1st. Can you take a look to see if I've missed anything obvious?

There are quite a few items which I already have access to but I just wanted to get everything down to start with and work from there. Some things I'll get new but other things will be off freecycle (if available).

Feel free to include amusing references or anecdotes as well as practical advice. All jolly good fun...

Tuumble out of all the posters here you most seem to give the impression of echoing, screaming, madness.

And you need 2 flannels, marked arse and face, similarly towels.

Nils how would you describe Tom Sellecks moustache in Magnum PI?

I'm not saying half this stuff will be got but if any item inspires such japery then bring it on.

That will hold up the mattress - no bed frame required.

I did think about this but my phone does the job.

I might be old skool and have a CD/Radio player even if most of music is ripped to the laptop and phone

Home phone(s) and wireless router
Extension leads
Vacuum cleaner
Rubbish bin(s)
DVD player

Bugger - there are some pretty obvious ones there! I knew this was a good idea.

Vacuum cleaner and phone I'll definitely need as well as the bin but the router bit will be sorted in due course.

We've managed without a DVD for awhile (the kids nabbed it) and just used the laptop but they don't cost much so I'll add to the list.

Cheers

EDIT: Dustpan and brush, broom

I assume fridge and washing machine are already there?

Ah, should've said - all white goods and the oven included

I think a small TV for bedroom and kitchen are essentials. But I do love TV a bit too much.
