"Medical Emergency Kit" mistake

Hello!
So it's Rachael again. Yesterday I was in the flat all day waiting for our estate agent to come over..and in the end he did not. So I felt I'd been cooped up too long, and went the short walk to Boots to see if the new Cosmo is out. I should say it felt really weird walking around the area knowing I actually live there! Anyway October Cosmo was not out, but I found myself looking around Boots for a LONG time. I kept picking things up and thinking 'hey, this would be useful' then deciding 'no, student budget says no!'. But then I came across what I believed was a First Aid kit in the clearance sale for £2 which only cost me £1.80 because of my discount from Boots contact-lenses scheme! 
But apparently there is a MASSIVE difference between the words "Medical Emergency" and "First Aid" - I'm surprised I wasn't ID'd to get this considering how many sharp pointy objects it contained..
I displayed it on a scale from left to right: useful (the likes of antiseptic wipes, gloves and dressings) to not useful (a variety of sizes of syringe) to I really hope I never ever have to use that (Blood transfusion set, Scalp vein blood letting set, vast quantities of surgical needles) 
Lawl. I now know the difference! At least it didn't cost me the ends of the earth learning this lesson!

Rach's Bedroom Tour!

Hello!
I am super happy right now because we moved in yesterday! Well, I completely moved in, Karen moved in around a third of her stuff, and Euan is in Gran Canaria haha. So I was the only one staying over last night (Pretty creepy being alone on your first night in a tenement block with all the creepy-ass noises) but I couldn't get to sleep until I had made everything look homely.
My strategy for moving in was to put all my belongings in Euan's room next door, and then slowly put everything in my room, in its proper place. So although I miss my best mate this made me pretty glad Euan wasn't moving in at the same time! I love unpacking. I completed my make-my-room perfect task at 2:15am. 
Sorry I took these on my phone so some aren't the best quality! But I love this room so so much!! My dad came and gave me the flowers yesterday! (After helping move in a lot of my stuff!) So happy. In my happy bubble. Ah.
