A New Adventure September brings with it the start of a new adventure for many in the UK – heading off to school, college, or university, either for the first time, or returning for another year of study. In the shops there are “back 2 school” or “student” items everywhere, stationery, clothing, and all you could ever need and more for your student life!

Planning A Return To University – Stationery Haul Part 1
I have wanted to return to university to complete more studying for a long while now but I have not been able to because of the finance side of it.

Now I have set up my Lyndhurst to stay at home so I can sort out my finances I thought I should see what I could take out of my purse already to put in the receipts and such like. In doing this I decided to try and use my pocket Malden as my wallet to see if I could get on with it. This is the Lyndhurst and Malden together after I’d finished: It’s quite chunky but not stuffed: Inside the front: Just some points cards and vouchers in…
