Made it down to Kmart today to buy the last of the ideal things for the new house. Mostly appliances. I bought a high velocity fan until I can sort out something for cooling (also got a pedestal fan in the mail), a microwave, an air purifier, some towels, and some quilt sets (I only have 1 quilt cover at the moment)
I'll take all the cutlery from here because I had to replace that myself. The last kid nicked or threw out most of it, and they fully expected me to wait a month or two before they got approval to spend 15 bucks on some forks, knives, and spoons. Oh well. Easier to buy it myself
Still need to sort out a knife set. I got one knife last Kmart trip, but couldn't find the knife block I was after (I don't want those cheap black plastic knives, but I also don't want to go to some cooking supply store and buy a set of $500 knives, so the next best option is the slightly higher end metal handle Kmart knives)
I think I'm well and truly sorted now, and ready to go be my own self!
(I'm hoping that I can single handedly convince them to replace the gas central heating with a split system at no cost to me before I move out. Hell, I'm pretty sure there's even rebates for decommissioning gas heaters)
