My 19 year old baby is off to University on Saturday and she has made a list of essentials to bring/buy. Stationery, pens, text books or 5 a day fruit and veg don’t feature anywhere on it.
So far it reads: Magnifying Mirror, Thai Dipping Sauce, Apple Schnapps, Hair Straighteners, Student Loan letter, Gold Stilettos and an Eyelash Curler.
I once told her she was eclectic. She thought I meant electric. I think we were both right.
I wish my lovely girl good friends and the best of times.

Wishing her happiness and fun. Sounds like she’s got all the ingredients! x
dont forget a wok (most things can be cooked in one), your laptop, a soft pillow and some good shampoo. Who needs pens for lectures?!
Happy times!

Thank you so much Caroline, and for linking which I have dittoed x
Julie, good suggestions. I’d like to add a bucket to your list – good for both ends after partying if you don’t have an en suite in student halls x
This isnt what you were saying when you were dragging me round the cutlery aisle of asda by the hair this afternoon.
But nonetheless how sweet

Julie is so very right…a soft pillow is necessary for ALL your lectures.
