So much choice
It can be really expensive to move house between paying for a deposit and a month's rent in advance. That's without considering all the items you need to purchase to fill your new home from pots to pans to cushions.
Down I headed to Shepherd's Bush's resident Poundland, making a beeline for the aisle I'd formerly spotted my coveted goods in. Yes! The shelves were still decently full, with eye-catching '£1' stickers sprinkled healthily throughout. The latter, though... maybe. I traced the thin grey tray with my hands, picturing cinnamon buns popping up from its shallow indents and me, a flour-splattered baker in a striped apron. No. I pulled myself from my reverie with a firm reminder that I needed the basics.
Above: a sturdy, curved wok, also £6. In fact, £6 was the priciest this section got, as far as I could tell. Not bad, for sure, but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend 60 per cent of my allocated budget on either of these particular items. The decision was eased by doing a lap of the shop and a further nosy of the wider kitchen aisle. Here I found another worthy candidate: a miniature version of that same ceramic oval dish, for £1.50.
