Happy Boxing Day
26 Dec 2019 14:30I hope everyone had a wonderful time celebrating whichever mid-winter festival they choose to - and a nice Wednesday if they didn't.
I have such a haul of household goodies for my new flat from my family, I'm now super excited to move in just over a week. My parents got us a bedframe, my grandparents got us sofa and Ollie's parents got us a sofa - this we already knew because we'd picked them out. One thing I'm really looking forward to is learning to cook, and my brother Riley got me this amazing kitchen set with cutlery, a knife set, a whisk, tongs, vegetable peeler, can opener, hand grater, corkscrew, saucepans, frying pans, a collection of baking trays, and even egg cups and measuring jugs. He also got me some cookbooks. My older brother Ashley and his girlfriend got us some bedding sets, duvets, pillows, blankets and cushions. My younger brother got us a dining set. I also got net curtains and curtains, a toaster and a kettle, some lightbulbs and a toilet plunger.
Ollie says he also got gifted the nightstands we'd looked at, the stools we'd seen for the kitchen/breakfast bar and a coffee table.
I got some non-household stuff too, just little things from my parents like a really nice boxset of the Anne Of Green Gables books, some DVDs and CDs.
I'm sure there's still a ton of stuff we need to get but my head is just bursting right now. Most of it we probably won't realise we need until we're in the flat and living there. We'll probably also end up with a bunch of doubles of things because we both have them. Dad's taking us shopping the day we move in to get a microwave, some chests of drawers and a wardrobe... and to stop us buying about everything in Ikea!
I think maybe I need to google and find a checklist and start marking things off
