MOVING IN

Going to view a flat today that her eldest son has been offered by the housing authorities he has been living with us for the last few weeks , and has been living with us on and off for the last five years.
It is a two bedroom flat in a tower block he is on the third floor they are offering him a two bedroom even though he is on his own and as a result of this he will have to pay ten pound a week room tax because of the extra bedroom that he wont be using , if i was him i be sub letting the extra room to claw back a big chunk of the rent.

He wont have much in the way of furniture but he will be given a grant of £500 to a £1000 , and a £50 voucher  towards the cost of decorating it if you have nothing i suppose £500/£1000  will buy you quite a bit of stuff if you shop in the right places i was thinking what essentials i would get if i had a budget of only £500 to a £1000.

I suppose a microwave be a must a kettle and some pans a cheap i-pod dock and a bed side cabinet and chest of drawers a
mattress and a  quilt and duvet four  pillows , a small kitchen table and chair for dining at  , a plate cup and cutlery a washing up bowl few glasses and a few storage jars a couple of lamps and a couple of art  posters for the wall a cheap second hand tv and a dvd player and a free view box.

Anything left i guess a fridge and second hand settee , loads of second hand charity shops ebay and other outlets, good luck.
