A waste paper bin (hastily bought from sainsburys; the uni had said that it would provide one, but didn't)
A bike (brought from home after xmas)
Ringbinders
Wellies
Lots of warm clothing (I hadn't quite got out of the 'Australian weather' mindset when I came to uni, 10 days after returning from Aus!)
Knife sharpener
Recipe books (I remembered, but few people do)
Thermos flask (useful for those many hours spent in the library!)
Tupperware
External DVD player for my laptop
Holdall (for weekends away, when that massive wheelie case is just too big)
To be honest though, just about everything on the list was either retrieved at reading week / xmas, or bought cheaply in Manchester.
