I feel like I've managed to organise my life today:
- I've sorted out that massive box of psychology work that I have collected over the years and managed to de-clutter as well as organise it.
- I applied for an ISA so that I can save for university. The good thing about Natwest is that on your internet banking you can set up a "Savings Goal" which tells you how much to put away a month in order to reach your target by the desired date. I need to save £60 a month in order to hit mine.
- Sorted out my universities. I'm thinking Kingston will be my first choice seeing as I love the look of the course and I will be financially more stable there. As it is in London I get a higher maintenance loan because it is typically more expensive accommodation in London. However the accommodation at Kingston is a lot cheaper than most of the other universities I've looked out. This means, by rough estimation...after paying for my accommodation...I should have £70 a week left from my loan and grant. This contrasts with the £10 I would have had if I'd gone to Lincoln this year. Now let's hope I can get a bit of work before next September in order for me to reach my target of £1000 and boost myself up to having nearly £100 a week!
-Going Christmas shopping later on so I will hopefully be able to get my mum's present crossed off my list. I was going to buy her the Marc Jacobs Daisy gift set but she did rather like Euphoria by Calvin Klein when we went shopping so I may have to purchase that instead.

I'm hoping that I can get my UCAS sent to my referee this weekend and then hopefully it should be all done and dusted within the next week (provided she gets her arse into gear). I know I'll be extremely nervous whilst waiting for my offers, and I'm hoping that at least one of them will be an unconditional just to take the pressure off myself.
I've set my sky+ to record Children in Need tonight. Extremely excited to see Harry from Mcfly doing Strictly Come Dancing. I've never thought of him as the dancing type and this should make up for me being unable to attend their Leeds signing yesterday and the lights switch on. I'm not really sure what else is featuring on this years Children in Need but it should be as good as the previous years. I'll be sat up until the end (unless I fall asleep) because I love it that much. I know it's for Children in Need but I hate the clips they show you of all the children they help, it really upsets me.
Before I forget, I purchased BarryM Nail Effects the other day and I'm extremely impressed! When teamed with their gold nail polish it looks quite leopard printish without looking tacky! I'm very pleased. I may do a full product review of it if I can find enough to write about it.
