i'm scared. i have never lived my myself before, always with family or housemates.
what sort of things will i need? i am thinking it won't be that different to a house share (minus the company) .
this is a pointless post sorry, i am just really nervous!

No it wouldn't be that different to a house share, but in a house share there are often some communal items that you would not get in a place on your own.
Not very easy for me to say because I don't know what you use. Make a list of stuf you use and then another list that is stuff you own, then compare them.
How exciting to be moving into your own place.
It’s understandable you find it daunting when you’ve always lived with other people, but just think of the space to yourself and no arguments over washing up!
Mist’s advice about writing lists is definitely a good idea. If you’re renting, find out from your landlord what is include, if it’s furnished. It really varies from place to place what’s provided- sometimes you’ll get everything from a hoover to pots and pans, a dustpan and brush to candlesticks and a bar of soap, other times you’ll just get a sofa and a bed!
It’s worth remembering though that everything they provide in the flat should appear on an inventory with its condition, and they’ll expect you to return all the items in more or less the same state. Check to make sure you agree with the inventory, as sometime’s a landlord’s idea of ‘good condition’ isn’t always the universal one!
Good luck and enjoy,
Katie
I dunno what you need really. What have you got so far?
