Shopping List

[luckykaa]

Well, I'm earning money.  Since this is the only reason I'm staying in this job, I'll have to do some retail therapy at some point.

A lot of the things I want are rather dull things like furniture. I have too many clothes.  I need storage.  I also need somewhere to store my rocket pack.  Houses just weren't built with that sort of thing in mind.  A table would be good as well.  A nice folding butterfly table with integrated chair storage would allow me to host things like board gaming and dinner. 

I do want to buy a flat at some point.  I almost have a deposit.  I can probably get a mortgage. Just need time to look. 

I want a new Satnav at some stage.  Current one has started to keep cutting out.  Will have to go for TomTom because I like the sarcastic Voice of Ireland (apparently an interior designer named Naoimh Tuohy) so much.

I'd also like a new camera but can't really justify the cost just for the optical viewfinder.  The Canon G series is so cool though. 

And a new car.  That can wait until after the flat purchase.  Something sporty.

Lol you've been threatening to buy a sporty little number ever since I first met you! I want to help with all of these purchases, maybe we should get married?!

I even get excited by furniture (the only thing I hate buying is clothing).

It's always been on the shopping list. Just never been something I feel justified in buying when I'm meant to be saving up for property.

Yay! Let's get married! See you in Vegas!

Lots of students in Brighton, how about buying a slightly larger flat and taking a lodger to pay for it?

Good idea.

This would have the dual added advantages that a) you would have some company most evenings and b) There would be someone in looking after the property when you were contracting somewhere far away.

Yes. I certainly plan to have an extra room. postgrad students or Mon-Fri lodgers should pay for the extra cost (possibly a little more) and tend to be pretty easy to deal with.
