we are pretty much finished 'acquiring' as container nearing full so its good to know you can buy good things like mattresses etc. some things you can live without but a decent bed...

i never had to do this kind of thing first time i lived there as other half was on the ground/ had most things ready. or should i say his mother had most things ready.

although, i did buy a lovely art deco wardrobe in cambridge and remember thinking it was practically free.
