    If in the north, I have some extra bed linen in good/near new condition. You might as well have it if you want it. Also some extra cooking pots and utensils. Vinnies and similar is good for crockery and eating cutlery. Won’t ‘match’ but who gives a shit when cooking/eating for one only.
    Also, if you need a cooking knife etc. I can let you have the picnic knife to tide you over until you can legally buy one to suit you. Or if you wish, I can buy one for you. Let me know by dm.

    EDIT: I also have a spare electric kettle in working order.

      Thanks TW! Appreciate it :)

      I’m golden on linen, as the linen here is not shared and I bought a few sets when I moved in. I do however need to buy another quilt cover, because for some reason they don’t always come in bedding sets (do most people just sleep on a sheet or something?), but they’re like $20 so I’ll be absolutely fine. Appreciate it again, though!

      I think my case manager is organising to get me a knife set. The laws around minors and knives are weird and don’t make much sense to me, but from what I can gather, it’s illegal to be sold knives, but is absolutely not illegal to own knives, and also probably not illegal to “gift” knives to anybody of any age. Worst case, I’ll probably ask for permission to take the knife block we currently have here (provided with the house), and then they can replace it. They’re kinda shitty knives, but I was just going to arrange to get a set of the cheapo black handle Kmart knives (for now, once I turn 18, I’ll upgrade to whatever the next tier up is)

      Also, mini story time, I bought a kettle and toaster from knart like 3 weeks ago, but CouriersPlease told me that (apparently), despite being 2pm on a Tuesday, there was not a single person in whatever Kmart store they were coming from, and the pickup needed to be rebooked. But Kmart didn’t. Until eventually on Monday they apparently did, and on Tuesday some bloke from CouriersPlease rocked up at the gate and literally punched the box with the kettle and toaster over my fence like it owed him money or something, where it stayed in the rain until I got back on Friday (because nobody thought to tell me!). Going to take them back for an exchange tomorrow
