Leaving 'do' checklist - By the idiots
- Identify who you want to say goodbye to and a suitable venue for this farewell
- If you are going for a meal, book a table
- Allow for the giving and receiving of leaving presents, ie. have a bag with you
- Camera, with film and batteries, to take photos of your guests
- Tissues, should it all become too much
- Time. Don't let it be a big rush. Give yourself enough time to spend with your family and friends who you won't be seeing for a while
* Check the barmen at the club are qualified hotties and know how to make a Brixton Riot!
* Go to Nando's for lunch to make sure not drinking copius amounts on an empty stomach - for some reason this behaviour does not agree with me.
* All gifts will be gratefully received but they won't be coming out to the club ... that's a recipe for disaster at the rate I loss things. Not nicknamed the snail trail for nothing - leave a path of possessions behind me, sometimes never to see them again! Miss my diamond necklace.
* Tissues are essential - already had a moment today when I realised my gorgeous friends won't be around me when I move to my new job. I know I will make new ones - it's all good. Leaving is always a tearjerker - think Pretty Woman when Julia says goodbye to Kit! "Take care of you" x
* Wear preventitive beer goggles - it is bound to get messy and I have been known to be a bit affection with the occassional boy around the time of ten to two - we all are! Not just me. It's not big and it's not clever. I get bored of dancing ha ha!
* Make sure not to wear masacra - it could get a bit water damaged when the tears and the laughter take full effect. There will be lots of fun.
* Prepare in my head which songs I want to sing on the random karoke machine we attack in the early hours - I can guarantee, black velvet - winning!
* Party feet! My favourite shoes have developed "I hate you" aversion with my feet. Never has it happened before but a couple of weeks ago while out on a brilliant night in Manchester my feet had a fight with my shoes and the latter won.
* Practise my dance moves tonight........ someone remembered that I use to do the splits as my party piece - Claire and Carol you are my partners in crime for that little trick. Tomorrow will mark the end of an era for myself, Smithy, Hester & Brianceau - let the dance off commence.
Anyway, think that is my checklist in order but please feel free to add anything! Discuss.
Thanks for tuning in.

Seems to me that you are more than prepared for the event. There is no doubt that you will disgrace yourself but it won't matter because by the next day you will be gone!
