We started with 8 and ended with 7 but managed to lose 6 on the way! Bethan and Muggett began alcoholics anonymous early on, but Helga continued to visit international hospitals. Demelza lay a whisper on our pillows, Cordelia broke most things before leaving, Amy died (well Demelza believed it), Leanne left us for pastures new and Cass and Lorna were last seen in a van heading for Shoreham.

Soon we were invaded by Anna, Rose, Annabel and Olivia. Princess Tiger pants lost her race with Mr Kemp and fell in the bin before being woken by AJR with vomit trickling down her wardrobe. Martag "cut cabin" pretended drinking was a stimulus for creativity. Melons flirted with history teachers while Avenem and Livvy soon fell for Ferd and Iz. Mel and Liz were "Bzzzz I'm a leopard Bam Bam"…Livvy went back to the 50's…..Rose and Anna enjoyed Band (think American Pie). Annabel is a small blond bombshell who kept the gossip network racing at 100 mph. Rose grew dreadlocks while Pivs grew into Ed L-P. Ladies on the back of that maybe just maybe I'll have to phone the police.

PS Lizzie gimme your bag.

We coped with work through head banging to the beach boys, stealing pizza from Miss Rohrs and if all else failed staying up all night drinking Martini. We set up the custard cream hotline (0800 88 88 88) but failed to stop common room smelling of dogs' breath. We'll miss Elaine's yellow walls, the gross A pod kitchen, late night chats, swapping underwear and group hugs.

Where we'll be in 10 years time…

• Nat will be a breast donor to those less fortunate.
• Belz will be earning lots in a sweet pea factory with two husbands and a dog?
• Pivs will be a housewife in the country, mother of twelve and a secret freedom fighter.
• Mel will return to CH to teach and be a poetic hermit at the weekend (who reads the newspaper)
• Elsbeth will be on her Gap life with a toothbrush and cut off jeans.
• Rose will be a tree hugging porn star in Cornwall.
• Bushbum will be throwing spears in Wimbledon with hairy legs.
