ive only got an infected blister on both feet that smells like really strong vinegar because of the infection.
but my friend ended up with a hernia after all that mud,

[Laura_Babs]

Well,at about 7am Wednesday morning on the way down I locked my jaw when i was laughing hysterically as we got overtaken by our mate in his micra, whilst in an overtaking battle on the M4 with another one of our group (a perfectly safe and not too fast over taking battle)! My jaw ached for hours after!

Then when I arrived I stupidly lifted the huge keg we brought with us on to the sack trolley and wacked myself in the face with it! It was very sore and I was a bit shocked - was slightly concerned that I had mild concussion but seemed to recover!

Then I spent all week going a slightly darker shade of brown each day and was pretty chuffed, only to forget to apply lotion today and now be burnt as red as a lobster and it quite a bit of pained. The sunburn is also accompanied by a nasty heat rash.

Oh and final one (not really an ailment) - I stupidly didn't get round to eating yesterday before a Brother's cider and a can of lager and didn't drink any water. I then went for something a bit exotic and then felt very ill! I recovered during Tom Jones after sinking 2 litres of water in about an hour and eating an ice cream to cool me down!

Oh and two more for me (I'm clumsy)

1/ A blister on my sunburnt nose

2/ A slightly sore nose from last night. Some people from Liverpool near us were hvaing a friendly war with either people they knew or some randoms. Weapons were about 200 glow sticks which they were chucking at each other. Our camp got invaded so a few of us joined in. One hit me full pelt on the nose which was sore!

Sprained my ankle quite badly Saturday night which led to me inventing a new flamingo style hopping dance which I introduced to the crowd during Prodigy. Got some weird looks.

Also have identical blisters on my little toes that will not stop weeping puss and permanent pink eye from my mate spraying my eyeball with suntan lotion.

I have a cough and a sore throat and no voice, sunburnt back, my conch piercing got knocked 50000000 times during the prodigy, painful blister, backpacker's shoulders/neck; nothing too bad at all!!

Poor lady in Camp Triangle - twisted / sprained ankle on Wednesday night.

What a time to do that !

Credit to her tho... she stuck it out until Sunday.
Trumps my fractured brain

hiyah fella, she did indeed do her ligaments on her first walk out of camp - they only got 50 yards

medical and security did well though

Legs are now back to normal size...was very worrying at the time. STILL spangled though even now. Voice still gone, still unable to walk upright and look like a doddery old lady. Going to call in sick to the appointment I have to day and rearrange a new one for tomorrow when I should be totally recovered.

Was very impressed when I heard about your legs increasing to twice their usual size....
...were you able to leap small buildings with a single bound?  

It appears that my throat issues have been down to some kind of infection... not just due to over-smoking... so that's nice!  

I had this weird thing on Sunday with light trails... where I kept seeing things out of the corner of my eye... which kept making me jump.  I'm not sure what that was to do with...  

So, that's it really.
Apart from a lack of clean clothes, and a sore throat.  That's all for me.  Got off quite lightly, I think..  

[Singularity]

I just accidently coughed up a load of phlegm onto the keyboard... eeeew

I have lost my voice

[clockworkpurple]

Nowt major: I've lost my voice and have kidney pains.

Luckily I'm not back at work 'til Monday, so plenty of time to recover!

I saw you with it on Sunday  

[jacketspud]

Apart from a few achy bits we did well ... up until 6 am Monday then it was vomit city! I was feeling a little sheepish about it and managing to do it quietly and hygienically (thanks wag bags!) till my daughter started to join in the fun (4 times for me and she did about 14? I lost count she was still throwing up in the car on the way home) was one of the worst going home episodes ever made more so because of the A303 traffic. So nice to get in home and soaked in the bath and eat a bit of dry toast.

Corpse feet. And lost my voise.
