• Tea accessories: We Britons love our tea, but sadly this comes with a price. Out of tea desperation, you’re flat mates WILL steal your tea spoons, and you will steal theirs. We advise you take at least three, and keep five in your room. If you’re a big tea drinker, go the whole hog and take ten! Don’t forget to bring your favourite mug for a touch of home and a jar for tea bags is really useful to save them from getting soggy in their cardboard box.

 

• General cutlery: Forks, spoons, knives, big knives, big spoons, wooden spoons, drainers, skewers; cutlery! Make sure yours have a unique stamp on them so there are no arguments over who’s taken your forks.

 

• Chopping board: For hygiene purposes (who knows what other people have chopped on theirs) as well as being an adult life essential.

 

• Tongs (so useful): One of our flatmates had a pair of these, and as simple as they sound they made everything so much easier, and it meant your hands didn’t get burnt quite so often.

 

• Wok: Pop everything in the wok and you have your meal ready in one place.

 

• Pizza tray: Avoid the pain of losing half your pizza down the back of the oven after putting it on a normal tray, get a proper, circular, pizza tray.

 

• Scissors: for cutting pizza – genius – need we say more

 

• Ice cube tray: you’ll be loved at pre drinks and adored  for the morning after refreshment

 

• Cake tin: For a rainy day with no lectures, for revision snacks or as a team bonding exercise with flat mates, a cake tin is an essential.
