These are the things I took with me…

• iPhone
• Ipad with downloaded books, movies and a good music playlist
• Headphones (if wireless don’t forget a charger)
• Long leads for phones/ipad
• 2 sets of pyjamas (your in a gown on day one)
• Underwear
• Wash kit
• Wet wipes – for when you can’t be bothered to wash properly
• Flavouring for water (no added sugar squash or drops)
• Slippers or flip flops
• Earplugs (especially if you are a light sleeper)
• Lip balm (you live off sips of water on day one and it helps)
• A thermos water bottle – you get given cold water but it gets warm quick
• A loose fitting tracksuit and tshirt for getting there and home
• Sugar free polos to suck on (just don’t crack and swallow they need to dissolve)
• medication
• A pen (for filling in menus)
• Some moist toilet tissues (I’ll let you work out why)
