Has anyone bought anything for uni yet?

Hey,
This is probably very premature but I was just wondering if anyone started buying anything for uni yet? I bought a duvet cover in the boxing day sales because I can't resist a bargain but thats it so far , will probably leave the rest till last minute , any very organised people out there?

Just remember that you will probably be in Halls/Uni accom in your first year - and you'll have to move out again in June and drag it all home.

Good advice here http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/what_to_take_to_university

I'm on a gap year so have been buying things each pay day since September! I already have a duvet, towels, some stationery and some cutlery. My thinking was that if I spread all of the buying out then I won't have the huge, expensive shop to do in August!

I bought a few things in the sales and I might just keep buying things I need now and again up until august/ September.

I need to do this with everything. I only thought about doing it for presents before! You're a smart cookie

Thats a really good idea, come August/September you end up feeling really guilty about having to fork out (or having your parents fork out) for so much stuff.

I went to uni for a term before withdrawing and reapplying for somewhere else so I've got most of my stuff sorted at home ready for September this year!
