Well, my friend did bring her fridge to Lewes Court.

But that's besides the point! It's still excessive!

EDIT: She didn't buy it either. It was one she got free through her dad's work, and was on its last legs so got a dumping on the way home at the end of the year! And her dad has a van not a car to bring stuff up, like...

I was asking about a double bed because I'll have my girlfriend over most nights and I cant bear the thought of going back to a single bed like we used to have to.

With regards to what im gonna do with the existing bed....ill have to have a think about that....... and possible bring a saw.

You're not supposed to change the furniture in your room.

For a start, what would you do with the provided single when you ain't using it?

we can bring bedside cabinets though can't we? Those wardrobes are way too small to house all my clothes.

They provide those.

How often is your girlfriend staying? I don't know if your flatmates are gonna be too happy to have an extra person there so often!

The mattresses aren't the comfiest, but with a mattress topper they're certainly fine. I quite like firm beds anyway so i just had a cover but my flatmates complained a lot about them being too hard!

The 'A' rooms in lewes court flats are also a funny shape (ie not square) and there's no way you'd fit a double bed in. you probs could get a 4' double in the normal ones but it seems excessive...my ex and i invested in an inflatable double bed for when one of us went to stay with the other cos we didn't like sharing a single bed, but it didn't fit on my floor anyway!

yeah ive thought about that, so ill see how it goes, but just wanted to have it there as an option.

With regards to what im gonna do about the existing bed, i can use my dads van to take that one home when i bring the bigger one up. its a simple but effective method. Are there going to be any furniture police coming and checking that you havent rearranged the furniture or snuck in a sneaky ikea table?
As long as its left how you find it at the end of the year i would of thought it would be ok.

Hehe, I can just imagine you're car on the M25 with the back of the car scraping along the road due to all the extra weight...

I really hope I don't get stuck behind you...... :biggrin:

I read on the site that the majority of phase one rooms do.

and what exactly is there in the way of storage? Just a wardrobe? Does it have shelves inside? I have a stupid amount of stuff. I think i'm going to have to buy a chest of drawers or something. I'm taking 6 suitcases and 10 boxes worth of stuff!!!

thank god, someone as bad as me! Yeah I think there's only a wardrobe, a small one at that and a bedside cabinet. Oh and the drawers in your desk. I'm thinking of putting stuff under my bed if I have to. A chest of drawers might be a good idea, if it'll fit in!
