    slippers and flip flops if you're sharing a bathroom/kitchen

    consider a few pairs of jeans.

    i lived in my jeans. still do.

    all the student nights round here have casual dress codes, so i wore them out as well.

    i'd have chinned them. besides which, even the durham students wearing scruffy jeans are still wearing scruffy versace jeans. how are real people supposed to keep up with that?
    LMAO!
    Can you imagine the looks I got when I went into the dinner hall? When I first started I had blue and pink streaks in my hair, lol!!

    I was a total pleb! You know what though? I don't care!

    Hmm...I have too many clothes.

    I will take my autumn/winter clothes:

    T-shirts, long-sleeved tops, jumpers, a few pairs of jeans, trousers, my knee-length denim skirt. Then a few tops to go out in, trainers and some black shoes incase I get a job that needs them.

    My mum just bought me loads of new PJS :D Snoopy ones, a Snoopy nighty, some blue bottoms and a huge grey fleece dressing-gown. I will be warm and look slobbish.

    However I will have a problem with accessories. Which bags do I take? Which belts? Which scarfy things? What jewellery? :confused: Because I love them all. I'm glad they don't have a bead shop in Leeds or I would actually be in debt straightaway.

    Thats what i was thinking... :confused:

    I dont really have all *that* many items of clothing i wear on any kind of a regular basis, so i'm probably just going to take all of it! But i think new cords will be required as i actually do live in them and theyre starting to wear through. I've definately got my wear out of them though!

    I've been twice and I never saw any. Actually that's probably because my then boyfriend purposefully made us avoid them....

    *sighs* I will have to break my addiction.
