Poundland, Bedminster - Scythe13 - 1 March 2012

Hi everyone

I've moved into my place, and am spending my first night there tonight.

On my mission to get to know the area, and pick up things that I didn't have (extension cable, plates, etc) I happened across the wonderfully cheap, and strong cannabis smelling, Poundland.

Poundland lives up to it's name, and everything, oddly enough, costs £1.00

That's not much of a revolation, I'm sure. However, it gets fun, because there is a 'camping' section!!!

In that section I managed to find 2 small (1m x 2m each) emergency blankets for...£1.00 Granted it's not the bargain of the century, but it is certainly worth having.
I'm having a proper shopping session in there on Saturday to see what else they have available.

Yeah, it's a good feeling to be moving everything in.

I'm going to write up a post and post some pictures on my flickr account, possibly.

Need to get a sheet for a duvet. But I have 3 sleeping bags, so I'm still nice and warm haha.

What BP saidSmile

Charity shops are great for crockery and stuff. Curtains too.

I have a weird skylight, but no normal windows. I'm looking more at a horizontal curtain.

make sure you shut the skylight when you go out or when you go to sleep, or else you could end up with a rain soaked bed!!!!Big Grin

Yeah that's the one. I got sick of living with my parents, so I moved out. It's okay because now we are on both sides of the graveyard.
