Last day for me today - thought I'd have a bit of a break before Glasto, and to ensure I don't miss any more of the World Cup!

So - for the first time in my Glasto-attending life, I am not finishing work for the festival the day before we leave.

Everything is done, the boss is away all day, all I have to do now is chip away at the remaining 7 hours......

I think I'll watch South Africa v Uruguay in the pub tonight.  And take it easy over the next 6 days.  Lovely stuff.

Anyone else finishing today?

The thing is, I have absolutely nothing left to buy, with the exception of beer, and I've only delayed buying that because I know I'll drink it, especially with the football on every day.

So I literally have nothing left to do except pack!

Should be a relaxing few days.

WHat's this, aren't you buying lager to take with you?!?!

So are you saying if you had lager in the house you wouldn't be able to resist drinking it? I knew all this real ale stuff was just a front  :P

Just got to stumble through to Friday 5pm for me. Then it's off to Mablethorpe to drop the daughter off at the Grandparents and then party time  :D

You trolling bastard.  :P

I have no beer in the house at all.  I had some ale over the weekend that was supposed to last the World Cup.  It was finished on Monday night.  Arse.

So I'm intended to buy some shitty lager for quantity over quality probably on Tuesday night to take down with me.

In the meantine, I can feed my ale fix down the local during the footy.  B)

Dragged into work on my day off today for an all day frickin project meeting...not impressed.

Got to work Fri, Sat and Mon as well...leaves me little to no time to prepare (as I've done nothing yet due to constant bloody work:s)

Pretty p1ssed off with the whole situation right now.  I had previously booked this time off but due to 'project delays' I've had to work pretty much all my booked time as well as several scheduled days off.
