Had my referal for the mother n baby unit sent through

[youngmum2b]

Ok so i've had my referal from the council sent through to the mother n baby unit.
Now i'm wondering what i'm ment to take with me, i know theres already a fridge n sink and the rooms fully furnished eg i have to take in everything bubs needs n each person has there own lockable unit in the kitchen.

So can anyone help me with what i need to take with me.

Some nice bedding, a TV and dvd player, cd player, books.
Pans, things like cheese graters potato masher, cutlery.
Towels, clothes hangers, freeview player(if u can afford it) , some cushions and maybe a rug or something. Posters or pictures .
Toiletries (do not get into the habit of shared toilet paper, never works) , washbag. All i can think of atm I lived in a YPH for about 3 years so i all can say is what to bring for you. Im sure you can sort the bby stuff. Good luck and if you ever need to chat about living in a shared house msg me xxxx

No, he can visit when ever he wants n stay for however long he wants but he can't spend the night there.

Thats the only bad point atm, everything else seems really good.
