You are going to need more than that.
Do have an oven and stuff in your new place?
You will need plates etc, towels, cleaning things, cooking things, food.
Kitchen: Crockery/cutlery, cooking utensils, electrical appliances, hoover, ironing board/iron, cleaning things, clothes drying rack things. Loads of other stuff no doubt.
Living Room: TV, radio, phone, lamps, heaters, furniture.
Bedroom: Bed/bedding, storage, desk (maybe?), towels, TV, alarm clock.
Bathroom: well, that should all be included I guess. Maybe a sponge and a rubber duck?
It's easy to forget you will need a TV license for your new place. Although most of us resent it, it's not worth the £1,000 fine.
look at what's in the house you're in at the minute and what you make use of and will need.
simple.
No, just saying it's one of those fines you don't want to be lumbered with. Although, as a license is about £135 (?) alot of people do risk the fine as they reckon the chance of getting caught is small in comparison to the fine.
Although, I don't think it's a chance I would take. Nowadays, with so many people owning a tv set, it must be easier for the authorities to find those that do not pay. And it's not even worth trying your luck if you're living on campus as that's where you're most likely to get caught.
Besides, they'd never fine you on the spot cos they'd need a warrant to get into the property, so you'd have plenty of warning to get a licence if you really needed one.
Aren't you supposed to tell them your address and postcode when you buy a TV these days so they can check the database? That might explain it.
Of course if you're taking a TV from home to halls then it's a different matter.
What? All TVs are shite or just the ones you sell? Where do you work?
Reason enough, or would you like more detail?
Good luck with the move! It can take a while to acquire all the things you need to make your new place feel cozy, but don't worry - friends and family will no doubt help you out - if you have a house warming people might even bring you gifts
You probably need to consider the essentials for the first few weeks and then build from there...
Do you have kettle, toaster, microwave, toiletries, basic cleaning products, plenty of food (very important ) You don't mention whether it's rented accomodation? Sometime the landlord will supply basic appliances and oven, fridge freezer so it's important to check what you already have.
Finally, don't forget household insurance. Again if you're renting this maybe already sorted, but if not it's important to look into it
Check out Freecycle to see if there is a group in your area. People advertise stuff they don't want any more and you can have it for free as long as you pick it up. You can get all sorts of stuff that will be useful for your new place. Congratulations buy the way and Good luck.
