Yeah i know but if i have a master list, I can cross off the things ive got, or that the other person leaves :)
 
tea bags, kettle :)
Don't unpack the playstation and TV until the end of the move otherwise you will never get it all unpacked.
Have a visit to Ikea, I'm sure they sell (almost) everything you need in one big box.
 
Every new place i rent (well almost) I always get general kitchen things like a frying pan and maybe some pots, chopping board Definately.

You can guarantee in a rented house the stuff will be cheap and/or not really cared for.

Screwdrivers and bulbs are a must.

The list continues:
Bedding
Bleach & cleaning stuff
Air fresheners to your preference (stops the house smeling of cleaning stuff)

I'm going through the same sort of stuff currently as I move in 4 weeks
 
A random sign on the bathroom loo door with "Biohazard, Do Not Enter" that way everyone knows it's a boys bathroom.
 
Yes sorry knifes definately... I bought a set every new house until I went out and spent serious money on a set and made sure they were looked after.

Lock changing might be a tad drastic plus you'd have to ask the agents or landlord.
 
im buying, not renting ;)

Just looking for the things im gonna need - like another example:

shower curtain, doormat

Those are things you want, not need! :p

As guys have said though - kettle, tools, light bulbs, etc - they are your essentials. Everything else can be bought later :)

TV
XBox / Playstation
DVD Player
Computer
Stereo
Fridge
Sofa
Cutlery
Crockery

Washing Machine
Dish washer / woman

If this is your first house and you are moving in on your own I would suggest this little lot.

I am presuming you havent got much to start off with .

I would say these are the MUST haves,

Plate and knife set. Argos, Morrisons and Wilkos £10-£20
Pots and Pans set. Same places £20-£20
Kettle, Toaster and Breville maker. £30 max the lot.
Bachelors Super Noodles and Pasta and sauce packs
Butter, Bread, Coffee, Tea bags and Milk (fresh and UHT for back up)
Big bag pasta plenty of Dolmio too and Mince to put in freezer
Fridge Freezer if not already there. £180-£250 Comet, Argos, Currys etc
Set of bath towels
Set of Bedding inc pillows
Toilet paper, Soap, Toothpaste and brush, Lots of cloths and scouring pads, Bleach (lots of) , binbags, Polish and air freshner.
Bulbs, tool set with plenty of screwdrivers all sizes
Curtains, Hoover, dust pan and brush,
Fuses for plugs and Main fuse box..


Plenty more but I hope this can get you started..

Good luck in moving and enjoy your new home..
 
Get a good tool kit with a hammer, pliers, screwdrivers etc. Will be very handy for building flat pack furniture and putting up pictures etc. Get some screws and nails too.
 
Thick plastic sheeting
disposable overalls
cable ties
an axe
a good saw
a large boot
a secluded piece of soft ground
a spade
a strong stomach
