Moving in to my own home!

Hiya 

my support worker is pushing for me to have my own accommodation! Can you give me a check list of what I’ll need? I think I have the basics: bed frame, mattress, chest of drawers, coffee table, sofa and a tv unit for my tv. I’ve been taking screenshots of things i like but I can’t think of what else I’ll need.

im really excited about this and I’ll finally have a place to make mine and call my own

    Something to look forward to though! Your bound to be a little anxious to but I can sense your excitement and I'm so happy for you!!! Hopefully this will be the start of a wonderful new chapter in your life.

    It’s a little while yet I have to bid on things for the property it’s council but I don’t know what happens when you get selected. My ex has my hoover but he lives with his dad and I get on well with his dad still so I’ll be able to grab that I will need cutlery and the other bits I forgot about those haha. With it being council hopefully it will have the right fire protection but I will definitely keep it in mind thank you!

    It’s going to be a little while yet (I’m on the council list and you have to bid but I don’t know what happens after that this will be my first own council property) but I think you can only reject something 3 times I’m not sure

    Congrats, I hope it's everything you want! 

    Of the top of my head do you have:

    Cutlery?

    Cleaning supplies like duster, mop and bucket, hoover? All boring but necessary for a clean healthy living environment.

    Fire extinguisher?

    Carbon monoxide detector? If it's rented it might already have this but definitely worth getting one if not.

    Curtains? When I first moved in to my own flat I didn't have any curtains I was completely exposed which I hated caused me such a panic attack. I ended up hanging my dresses in the windows lol.

    I hope some of this helps.

    Enjoy your new place and best of luck for a bright future Blush

    Only take it if you want it. Don't make a quick decision. Only take the home if it is good and the neighbours are good. Have a look at he area. Go there at night . Is it safe? I have moved around a few times. Look before you leap.
