I moved into my first unfurnished flat when I was 16 and on an income of £28 a week - I accepted anything second hand that anyone wanted to give me

Gradually over the years I replaced it all, Ikea was a godsend when it came along, but had ebay been there I may have been even better off also Argos sales, ask for birthday presents/Christmas presents.
