Wilkos & Asda back to school stationary haul

 Another stationary haul - sorry guys!!
 This is the "Wilde" collapsible storage box from Wilkos. With having so little space and so much stationary for uni, the main thing I'm looking for is storage. I thought this collapsible one would be ideal. I love the pattern and it will be ideal to keep things like my stapler, hole punch, paperclips and the like in! This was only £3.50!
 Next I got these file dividers for 95p, I'm really hoping these last longer than your average ones that seem to just rip and fall out within weeks and I love the contents page. It'll be perfect for separating my work up!
 I then got these 3 document sleeves from the "Sustain" collection. I'm not really sure what I'll use these for and I wasn't sure about the "hey foxy" one but they were only £1 and I'm sure I'll find a use for them!
Now onto my favourite Wilkos buy - the Nostalgia desk tidy. It really would have made sense to buy items from the same collection so that everything matches but instead I just bought a mismatch of things which I'll probably regret but this was only 80p so I couldn't resist! Crazy I know! As well as keeping pens in, this would be good for make-up brushes!
 Finally, I picked up a stapler for 75p, staples for 44p and paper clips for 75p. I then bought some bits from Asda starting with these page markers which I thought would be a good alternative to folding over the corners of pages in my books, especially when those are going to be £50 a pop - I'll be keeping them looking immaculate! I picked them up in store and can't find them online - sorry!
 These were bloody hard to take a picture of and I know they're boring but punch pockets really are essential! I got two packs of 75(ish) for 80p(ish), sorry I don't remember and I've left them at my mom and dads! I'm a bit worried they were so cheap though, I had some awful pound shop ones last year! I can't find these on the Asda website either because I picked these up in store too.
 I was also after some Sharpies for underlining and making fancy notes etc and some mechanical pencils because I know I'll need to use them sometimes and I hate the smell and touch of pencils which I can avoid by using plastic mechanical ones. In addition, they're both in cute colours and they were on offer at 2 for £3 which is a bargain considering the Sharpies cost more than that alone at Tesco!

& the stationary rambles are only over temporarily I'm afraid, I have a second Saisnburys stationary haul coming up soon with a folder, pens, calculator and lots of other bits and pieces... I know, I'm obsessed!

If any of you are doing similar stationary or back to school/college/uni hauls leave the link below because I love reading them as well as writing them! :)

Housey craves!

My boyfriend has been in his house over a year now and although it feels homely and we're decorated, we did it as cheaply as possible rather than how we actually wanted it. So on nights like these where I just cannot sleep I go a bit crazy and get all excited and start browsing for cute home furnishings!


I absolutely love all the cushions and the floral kitchen accessories (Asda), the space saving kitchen bits are essentials in his tiny kitchen (b&m), I have an obsession with those tiered light shades and lamps (Sainsburys), the bright towels and bathmat might actually be my favourite (Matalan) and I've lusted after that duvet cover for aaaaaaages (Tesco).
