Reccommend an easy AS/A-Level to self learn

Economics
I had the worst teacher ever, I literally self-taught myself AS Economics and it wasn't that difficult

I'll provide you with AS Economics notes if you want, don't hesitate to ask me if you want help with economics.

Split between geography and economics, I think I'll go for geography though, simply because the A2 looks much more easier. So maybe I'll be able to do the whole A-level in a year?

most modules are 4 modules. Nothing wrong with wanting to do an extra subject. I did. Made up for the lack of subject choice I got at GCSE with teacher/parent involvement with those parent teacher meetings. Psychology over business studies because I needed the teacher to go through the case studies in depth.

Like a lot of other people I'd recommend Geography or maybe ICT, I don't study ICT but a girl in my year picked up the entire A Level in year 13 due to illness at AS and still managed to get an A.

Also, even though General Studies isn't accepted by all universities, I'd recommend taking it if you're just looking for a bit of a grade boost. Nobody in our year did any revision as we weren't assigned any lessons for the subject, but were still obliged to take it- our teachers just advised us to read the papers and watch the news in the run up to the exam. Considering you'd have to put in very little time prior to the exam it might be worth doing just to show you have some critical thinking and essay writing skills. Plus, a friend last year missed an offer from Edinburgh to do Languages by one grade, but they accepted her anyway and stated that it was partially to do with her A in General Studies (despite the fact her original offer didn't include the subject). Obviously it's not going to be life changing in its importance but it takes up so little time you might as well consider it.
