    I rub the cats down with ice cubes. Some like this more than others. Have you got any of those first aid hot/cold gel things? A frozen one of those on your head or neck looks dorky but feels amazing.

      No first aid kit as yet, but once I settle in and have the super essentials sorted, I’ll buy a fire extinguisher and first aid kit

        May I recommend a super basic sewing kit too? You’ll save a shit ton of money if you can do basic clothing repairs. And a hammer.

            A cheap tool set would cover a lot of bases and provide a storage box

            Pretty sure he builds computers, so that and screwdrivers are likely covered already

              There’s a couple of things not involved with computers that are a PITA to not have when needed. (If he doesn’t.)

              The $21 one looks good for bare minimum and would probably be enough to handle IKEA furniture. But I got the $55 one to have tape measure, needle nose pliers, socket set etc. Just to avoid suddenly needing something later then having it float around loose.

                A nice array, (the tools are rubbish, but that’s not the point right now) 100% want a shifter.

                  Yeah, they’re not great quality but good to have for infrequent use. Covers the bases
