Hi all,
Thinking on from another thread, what things did you lovely lot find useful to have with you on the day/day before or plan to take with you?
Obviously I have thought of the usual paracetamol, plasters etc, but what else?
Thanks in advance

Perfume (you'd be surprised how many people have BO!), gel heel cushion things from primark for a quid, hairspray and my phone. I always seem to lose people right when I need them!
