    Sorry about this thread. I have spent about an hour looking for a list that someone posted up a while back of all the essentials to bring down to college. Not just the stuff sent by HQ in the email but everyday stuff that would also be needed.

    I have found the in-depth descriptions of a day in the college and stuff but I can't find the list.

    Now...I may have imagined the list :D but if its not just something I've dreamt up and if anyone has it bookmarked could you post up a link please?

    Cheers. Just trying to start getting things together now for may rather than rushing at the end of next month.

    Right, so cleaning stuff and rubber gloves were advised for the sinks in the room in another thread.

    What about bed cloths? Should we bring our own Duvets and sheets etc?

    Here's another one, I am going to buy a watch before I head down so I'm not relying on a mobile. Would people have preferences of analog over digital or vice versa while working? Never thought of it but someone asked me that when I was talking about buying one.

    they provide the best John Wayne toilet paper on the market down there, so don't worry about that one.

    Buy a cheap watch. The expensive one with biomedicalchronoatmosphericmakeyertea one won't last too long.

    I do, of course have my own mind. Now look at the list you posted...it has underwear on it suddenly asking about bed clothes isn't so bad imo if something like underwear was highlighted before ;)

    I was just wondering if we were given a room with a bed and a matress, unfortunately I've been in provided "full board" accomodation before and it was less than "half-full" board :D


    And for the watch....I just needed a nudge to talk myself out of a Tag ;)

    Someones cranky on a Sat morning....out on the beer last night???:p:p
