Nice work and good tips. I need to get some better pot I have stainless steel at the moment, as it came with me rental. But I really want cast iron for my next ones, at least I have no non stick though hey :)

Some stainless is better than others. The real good stuff is super expensive and you should only cook on low or medium heat and probably never on an electric stove. Those are pot-wreckers. I doubt the stainless cookware in the rental is the good stuff, but it's better than nothing.
Not sure where you live but here on Turtle Island, many people are rich and wasteful (and loving and giving, too) so you can sometimes find cast iron cookware at garage sales or thrift stores. Another place to look is antique stores, but they'll charge you a lot, probably what it's worth. Hah! Good luck.
Yer its not the best but by no means poor quality. The landlord his well off and it was going to be a holiday let so scored a gooden. But yer in the UK although in quite a well to do area (for my job i'm bit common for the like of here haha). So yer charity shops are the way, some good stuff. We don't really have garage sales in the UK don't know why its a a shame :(
We also have things called Swap Meets here where people set up tables in a common area and load them up with all kinds of stuff for sale. Usually, there is an admission charge (typically a dollar) to help pay for the use of the land.
My all time favorite marketplace like this is the Mexican Tianguis. These are the village market days where locals from all over the district gather to sell whatever they've grown or made or want to trade for something else. It's really wonderful. The locals have been doing this for about 10,000 years. I don't know why we all don't trade this way.
Yer we have table sales. And I love a car boot but this year has been so wet not really been any on. Shame its a cracking day out :).
We should all trade like this but not with money with other goods or services.
Yes. Tianguis are the people's markets.
