LOL no. I need to make my grades first. ;(

Aw, I'm sure you will! I've taken a gap year and had to resit an English module to get into my first choice anyway, which is scaring me slightly, but I'm just such an organisational freak I'm already sorting everything out D;

I've been making lists of things I need to get and browsing Ikea, choosing modules for my course, looking for recipes or basic food things I need to learn to cook (and comparing food prices between Morrisons and Sainsburys), looking up directions and bus routes to shops and nightclubs...its a new way of procrastinating. Not even firmed my university yet.

I seriously had way too much fun, but hey ho, I've got everything I need for the kitchen, decoration, bedding and bags, so fun (and colour-coordinated) :biggrin:

I can't wait, you are making me too excited! :tongue:

By kitchen stuff, do you mean utensils? What if other people in your flat bring them? I am not sure what exactly I want to buy from ikea seeing that I will have to take everything with me on the plane haha

Eee I'm getting excited now too! Yeah, basically everything, I thought about that but I'm vegetarian so personally I'd rather have all of my own stuff than share cooking utensils (I'm fussy, okay?) aha c: Oh wow, plane? Where are you going from/to? :redface:

haha that's a good idea if you don't like the idea of others using your utensils :smile:

same! I have already made a spreadsheet of the stuff I am going to take with me :tongue:

I don't think I am going to be taking any kitchen stuff haha. Are you going to carry one huge suitcase for luggage and one small one for carry on? Or two big ones?
