    Ikea have great storage solutions & are cheap.
    I've just bought a white bookcase for £25.

    The Range have got lots of lovely cushions, throws & lamps too.
    Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
  • Ooooh will have to try the mixes for the slow cooker! Really want to perfect some casserole / stew recipes. Things where you don't need to make side dishes too .....

    Hi, maybe try to google "one pot dish". I used to buy cook books, but recently I started to use internet. It saves me money, space and i can find a few recipes at the time and pick the one I like most. I only cooked a few dishes from the books I have. BBC and Tesco have quite nice recipes.

    Carboot sales are good for buying stuff for home. Once I have bought there new microwave, mini hifi, blinds. Just in time when I was moving to my own flat. Also I had some lamps from there for £1 or less. Even if you don't like lampshade, you can get different one from Ikea or Wilko.

    Enjoy your new home and have a Good Christmas.
