10 RULES TO GUARANTEE A GREAT NIGHT OUT

Do eat a good stomach-lining meal before you head out, just like mum always told you. And no, chips and curry at 3am do NOT count.
DON’T feel guilty about wearing the first outfit you tried on – even if your room now resembles a place clothes go to die.
DO wear your highest, sexiest heels. Hailing a cab barefoot at the end of the night is a small price to pay for feeling fabulous.
DON’T wear white underwear if you’re going to a club with ultraviolet lighting. There’s nothing like an illuminated crotch to spoil your night.
DO apply lipstain, not gloss, if you’re feeling seductive. Men just can’t stand kissing sticky lips. Wimps.
DON’T hide among you girlfriends if a buy catches your eye. You’re much more approachable standing at the bar looking thirsty.
DO hit the dance floor waving your hands in the air like you just don’t care. Beyoucé’s hot nothing on you!
DON’T get cross whin the DJ refuses to play Dancing Queen again. It’s only “the best song ever” because you’re tipsy.
DO visit the loos before heading home. What is it about wrestling with your front door key that makes you cross-eyed with desperation?
DON’T start singing power ballads in the street when the pub has shut. If there’s one reason you end up struggling to find a cab, this is it.
