Things you didn't know you would need to buy

Hi

Did anyone find that when they arrived in OZ there were things that they need to buy that they hadn't thought of?

I was thinking that perhaps we would need to buy a kettle and a toaster and some plates and glasses until all our stuff arrived for a unfurnished rental house.

Was there anything unexpected you needed to buy or costs you hadn't thought of?

Thanks

A couple of games for the kids, our rental was fully furnished, the kids had brought their DS - but someone very kindly lent us some games, jigsaws etc., for them. As we arrived in summer, we bought a soccer ball and a cricket bat for when we went to the park.

Hi all
We bought new stuff over here & it was the little things that we kept forgetting, like a broom, dustpan, floormats, t towels, potato peeler, etc.. You will only think of these type of things when you come to use them & you don't have them! Also as ali says if you've kids books, balls, and boardgames are handy to have.
