Let's go shopping! (a.k.a. 'The life of a Bachelor')

Whenever you start up in a new place, there's always LOTS of things to buy/obtain/"borrow" from friends that you don't realise.

Today I did a LOT of shopping. I bought ...

• a microwave
• a toaster
• an iron
• matching brown bed sheets and quilt set (yup, guess which colour was on special!)
• lots of the little things you need to do hand dishwashing with, like detergent, that funny brush thing, and a drying rack
• lots of little baskets to put, um, things in (like pens and wallets and stuff)
• air tight containers for the kitchen for leftovers and biscuits and things
• bins ... lots of bins
• mats and towels for the bathroom (in this section, brown was on special)
• lots and lots of diet coke - special fridge pack edition
• heaps of other little things - like shampoo, toothpaste, tissue boxes ... but there's still a lot I need to buy ...

I had literally two trolleys full of stuff, which made it very difficult to navigate around the store (Target ... that's right, only the best!) That sure wasn't well thought out.

This weekend I'll hopefully be off to a Chinese Market get a wok, a selection of (cheap) Asian sauces and some ingredients I can cook with ...

... But until then, it's frozen foods galore! I've been eating lots of Lean Cuisine (take it from me - the packaging is deceptive! The real deal NEVER looks/tastes and appetising as the cover) and frozen burritos and pizza. Oh, and canned peaches to keep it healthy ...
