Pronunciation: [hˌavɪŋ ɐ dˈuː] (IPA) 
"Having a do" is a British slang term meaning to attend a social event or party. The spelling of "do" follows the English vowel sound rule of "digraphs," where two letters are used to represent one sound. In this case, the "o" and "o" combination create the "u" sound, like in "put" or "cut." Using IPA phonetic transcription, "having a do" would be spelled /ˈhævɪŋ ə dʊ/ to represent the "uh" sound in "do."
