You can get it cheap
If you don't mind mixing different types and colours, at outlet shops.

(Cave Duck, Tue 16 Nov 2010, 11:02, Reply)

For the price I've just been quoted for the cheapest carpet and underlay
I could buy a loom and the thread and weave the rugs myself. I'm awaiting a form from the housing trust to apply for a start-up grant. At this rate I'm going to need it. I keep telling myself it's not massively desperate but I don't feel like I can arrange furniture and unpack until I know where it's all at so I'm struggling a bit. Need to mtfu I guess.

I think you just need to try and focus on the fact that this is a one small period of disruption for the
long term benefits that your move will bring. In five years time as you sit and survey your palatial surroundings, this period will seem as like a reletively small blip.
In the meantime concentrate your efforts on the things you can do, chasing up the grant form and making the place as "short-term comfortable" as you can. It's a pity you haven't got any inflatable chairs - they'd be ideal.
