It can be really daunting when you are setting up your first home.  Leaving Mum & Dad’s can be quite frightening enough, with all those concerns about rent, bills, buying furniture etc. etc.     The best method ifyou are literally working on a shoe string budget is to put the word out that you are taking a flat/house by so & so date and just ask if anyone out there has whatever it is you lack,   If you post your enquiry on to social media, then many more folk will see it and come forward to help you or just to get rid of the dead stuff.  The same can go with large items like washing machines and driers; you would be amazed at how qucikly you can be offered things.  However the best way to ensure you have exactly the right homewares for your needs is to make a list of the most essential items in order of needs and availablilit.  As you acquire any items from relatives or friends, cross tem of the list and the ones left can be bought new from one particular store – maybe linking the colour with one of your newly acquired articles, for a cohesive look.
