Moving out check-list

My boyfriend and I are moving in together in 9 days, we are making a list of all the basic things we still need to get but we just want to make sure we dont miss anything. Even though we have family close by if we need anything it would be nice for us to...

have our own.

Does anyone know where I can get a handy checklist of things like household items and stuff that we definitely need

hmm you could check dorm room checklists? I know it isnt exactly the same, but it's pretty close...

Are you talking about things like appliances and basics like potware, dishware, silverware and all that Steph?
Do you guys have Bed,Bath and Beyond in Canada? you might try there and if you don't have that go somewhere that has a Bridal Registry and I bet they would have some kind of got to have lists for newlyweds (=

*DANG, ION THINK SHE ASKED F0R ALL THAT!*

Actually yes, it's a great help that she posted all of that for me.
