How are you going to wash up? If no dishwasher, you'll need bowl, scrubby scourer things, detergent etc.
Various scissors.
Clothes hangers
Vases to put future girlfriends' flowers in.
Bus timetable to show them how to get home.

Oh sweetie. I want to come round, clean the skirting boards, drag you off to Ikea, do all your DIY, fill your fridge with fruit and vegetables and make sure you're all settled.
Maybe I am more maternal than I originally thought.
You need a bath mat.

Does that chat up line ever work?

It's a two bed flat and that's the reason why I've not asked for ideas for bedroom - it's my condom store.
Not really.
Some good ideas people but while I included some items under the bathroom section like toothpaste things like aluminium foil are not an immediate concern. Frying pan I sort of had under saucepans but I admit that they're not the same.
At lunchtime I picked up serving spoons, a combined cheese grater and tuperware container, a can opener and some special door hooks that go over the top of the door which (with coathangers) could be used to dry my clothes on. All for £4 so top quality stuff. 
I got these from the pound shop and while could've bought more items like the recently suggested washing up bowl, they are now on the list at least.

Bath mat? I'm 44 not 84...or do you mean OUTSIDE the bath so I don't slip and disappear down the hallway at 70mph?
Feel free to fill the fridge
Doesn't everyone have bath mats? Maybe it's just me. I am a bit of a granny. I mean the ones outside the bath.
I do have an electric blanket though, which I love, and as of yesterday am the proud owner of my own blood pressure monitor.
I was in hypochondriac heaven last night.

Men make do with just one, but the women I've known seem to have loads.
Much like orgasms.
It's important to remember that there's a diference between a guys bath mat and his piss catcher.

And like the bathmats, mostly in the bathroom whilst you're watching the telly?

Hi Jennie 
Can I please come with you? 
I wanted to offer to take the keys and his budget and be left to it for 2 weeks but I thought that might be a bit too forward seeing as I'm new here
I do reckon we could get it perfect between us though!
Bloody Hell ! He's not even moved in yet and there's a threesome lined up !

Interestingly I could probably see the TV from the bath if I left the doors open but that doesn't really work in this instance.
