You know you are obsessed with Glastonbury when ….

[sabre-toothed tart]

….. your childcare for the festival has suddenly become a little doubtful, and you are seriously considering flying your mum over from Spain as a Plan B 

 

Anyone else ??

Same issue with our dogs - asked Mother-in-Law if she'd care to fly over to look after them ...

[Waapster]

Same with us but for the missus. I asked if she'd be ok on her own and she said the good looking guy up the road will be taking care of her.

...you spend all day every day on the efestivals forum and there's still a month to go.

Some people do that when there is 12 months to go!

Tesco home delivery, make sure the microwave is easily accessible, surely?

When your wife tells you to shut the fuck up about Glastonbury and you don't even have a ticket!

When you try and sell the dream, on a Saturday night down the pub, to anyone who will listen.

[sabre-toothed tart]

Ha ha, glad I'm not the only one who can't think of anything else.  I mentioned my plan to some friends this weekend and they looked at me as if i had two heads 

[sloseph]

the dreams are coming thick and fast at the moment

I swear I've walked the railway line more in the last 2 weeks to last me 10 festivals

Me too. I dream all the time, never sleep through the night. Glastonbury is featuring about twice a week at the moment.

[Waapster]

Also I'm checking SeeTickets about every 10 minutes.

Still on 7%, still waiting for tickets, still not dispatched...

...you notice on your Glastonbury Facebook group chat with mates that the last ten replys are all from yourself (and about 90% of total posts!)

To be fair, I think I'm heading that way.

.... you've given up on tickets and booked a holiday for the end of June, but still spend all day on the efestivals Glastonbury forum.

[Anderson19]

You are hoping Richard Ashcroft is appearing on BBC breakfast tomorrow morning to reveal the rest of the line up and himself as pyramid sub

My wife also tells me to shut up about Glasto all the time.... and she's coming with me as she does every year.  I think I might drive her mad with little updates.....

 

[shuttlep]

you have a corner full of all the stuff you are taking and it's february

[HattersBoy]

You keep looking at weather forecasts for the last 6 months praying for sun and following the secret resales thread and smiling when someone gets a ticket or wins a competition.

I've been panicking for months, I'm struggling to concentrate on anything else. There are five of us going this time. Me (7th time), three third timers and my wife the Glastonbury virgin... Seems like every time I get or start a text conversation with any of em it soon turns to "where are we gonna camp?", "where are we gonna park", "when are we gonna set off?", "shall we have a flag for the camp site?", "are we going to have a bbq?", "what drinks are we going to take?", "shall we dress up?"..

Last month we tested our tent just to reassure ourselves there was nothing wrong with it. Brand new so there shouldn't have been, and there wasn't..

I do go on about it and I don't think I'll ever do it justice. One of my mates who's coming this time.. I'd been four times while knowing him before he came along. I told him how great it was for years and I think I probably put him off for a while, but now he's sold having done 2013, 2014 and this one coming up now. I am a bit worried about the wife though, she's not been before and she's only done a couple of camping festivals. I think I've given her a fair idea what to expect, I've shown her loads of films and clips, but I wonder if she'll "get" it. So these are some of the things I'm obsessing over, along with knowing how close I am to being in my favourite place.
