EEEEK! Finally, my first uni haul. I have had this planned in my head since the start of year 13 and it is so mad how quickly it has came around. I started my shopping last week (minus bits I found for my room a couple months ago) and I have been so excited to show everything. We have an all girls uni goupchat where everyone was showing their bits and bobs. I knew I wanted to do these posts so I held back on showing my own stuff. It was eating me alive not being able to show everything but now I finally can!
I'm starting with the bathroom since that turned out to be the area I finished shopping for first. Some things (in fact most things) aren't necessarily fancy however I don't know about you, but I'm nosy. I love hauls. I will literally sit and watch/read grocery hauls just because I like to know what people enjoy buying LOL.
Disclaimer:
1. There are little things that I won't be showing just because they're standard and extremely boring but at the end I will mention them.
2. I will also be putting where I bought the items, with the price tag for the most part, however if I have lost the receipt and cannot remember, it will be blank.
3. My pictures aren't the best but I wanted to focus on just showing the stuff rather than taking hours to do the perfect flat lays and set up.
4. It's not in any chronological order so if that bothers you.........soz pal
My theme for my bathroom is grey, silver and white. There are some things that may be out of the theme because it's not that deep but I tried to stick to it as best as I could.
Bath Mat
I was in Primark one day with Robyn and we came across some memory foam bath mats. After feeling them I didn't want anything else. They were so soft! The one problem was the price. There was no way my mum was going to allow me to spend £6 on a bath mat. Of course that didn't stop me looking elsewhere for one. After searching long and hard, I got this grey memory foam bath mat, from Pound-stretcher! It was on sale too. Even flippin' better. ONLY £1.99. You can imagine my excitement when I walked out the store. I got my soft mat and wasn't poor.
I placed my hand on it for the picture to show how soft it is. Honestly this was one of my favourite purchases simply for the bargain.
Towels
My towels do not fit into the theme I'm going for since I'm just bringing towels from home. I have new towels that I have not used yet,so I didn't see a point wasting money on buying new ones just for the sake of sticking to the theme. (I wasn't able to take pictures however I may edit them into the post once I can)
Shower Caddy
This is a silver Caddy with 3 shelves. I'm going to get command hooks so I can hang it up in the bathroom. My plan is to keep all my products in like shower gel, skin care products, wash cloth etc. It was £7 from Wilko.
Toilet Brush
This looks like one fancy toilet brush but it was actually so cheap. The thing that made me get it was that it has a lid. I like that because it won't make the air smell. Not that I would keep it long enough to smell but you get what I mean. It matches the theme too which actually wasn't the plan. I was just going to get a normal white plastic one but it worked out in my favour. It was £3.50 from Wilko
Bin
I got the matching bin for £4 from Wilko. I like that it can be easily taken out and it's nice and compact. The bathroom isn't very big so it's important to look at size when buying your stuff.
I also picked up a roll of bin bags for 50p at Wilko.
Cleaning Products
These grey storage baskets were actually the first things I got for uni. My mum bought them months ago. I'm using them to store all my cleaning products. The smaller one will probably stay in the bathroom and I'm not sure whether to keep kitchen stuff in the big one or just use it for bathroom storage. I'm not sure how much they are as my mum bought them months ago and she didn't keep the receipt.
I got some Pledge Cleaning Polish for surfaces. This is the one I use at home to clean my room so I thought I would just stick to what I know. I get it from Wilko for £1 and it lasts ages.
My mum bought me some Duck 5 in 1 Marine Limescale Cleaner. It's literally just toilet cleaner. Nothing too exciting. I think it's like £3 from Wilko.
I have some good old Detol Surface Cleanser. EVERYONE needs to have this stuff. It literally cleans anything. I grew up using Detol products and I wouldn't use anything else. It's one of those products that can be used in the bathroom or kitchen. You can get it in Tesco for £2.50.
I also picked up some massage sponges. They're good to clean the sink or tiles with. They're super cheap. You can get them in Poundland, Home Bargains, Wilko etc. They do a set of 3 for £1 at Poundland or individual sponges for like 40p at Wilko.
The final thing I have are a couple packs of flush-able toilet wipes. This is obviously just to clean the seat and lid. Unfortunately I do not know where my mum got these from but you can find toilet wipes anywhere.
Tumbler
Honestly you can get Tumblers for such a better price but when I see Marble I tend to be irrational. This was £3 from Primark and I low-key regret spending so much on a tumbler.....but its marble so justified. It's obviously just to keep my toothbrush and toothpaste in.
Wash Cloths
Pack of 3 wash cloths from Primark for £1.80.
Cleansers
I thought I would show these two products despite them being boring. The Dove Body Wash smells incredible honestly and I thought I would show it so you girls can jump on it. It smells so nice. It's currently on sale at Superdrug for £1.31. The facial wash is the one I use every morning and night. Since I always get asked about my skin care routine I thought I'd show this. It's from Superdrug for £3.49.

- Toilet Roll £2.00 for pack of 4 Wilko
- Tooth Brush x2 £1.00 Home Bargains
- Hand-wash £0.70 Home Bargains
