My Darkroom Comeuth

My home darkroom is finally coming together. I've got the safelight, film, fixer tank... but the Developer has had a delay. I ordered some Ilfosol 3 (I hear it's a relativity new thing) and it's gonna take 4 weeks to come! I have had a film that snapped in the camera last summer in a film canister in my room for all that time and I'm never goung to see the image at this rate!!!

A little quiry about paper and paper developers; what is the best value for money? Ilford multigrade and just some RC paper?
