Happy new year everyone. HMV I'm getting my paintbrush ready to come visit!! Very excited at you now living here!! 

[H.M.V]

We had a nice night last night with a bottle of chompers and watched all the hotels compete with each other for fireworks display. The rain I think hampered the display somewhat. 

Friend and her daughter to stay as well which had been lovely although seriously not used to kids and the amount of attention they require. Lol

Happy New Year lovelies, quiet one here, neighbours for a couple of drinks then back home to see in the new year with some board games and Jools Holland. Just trying to finish off the left over booze and chocolates now...

What type of things do you want to see and do ? Yeah we went for 2 weeks and jus scratched the surface.... Going back for 3 weeks in October :-)

Just chill out, take in the sights, culture, make some friends & have a few wild nights. Much like Glastonbury.

So far it's looking like Kuta > Gili T > Ubud but as I'm only staying in hostels I can quite easily just up & leave somewhere & only lose £6/7 in accomodation costs.

I'm in a Lloyds/Spoons using free wi-fi to watch Final Score, the bar staff here are so miserable.

Morning everyone.  Not terribly exciting here.  I am mid taking down the Xmas decorations (found a few Halloween spiders still out !), and generally de-cluttering.

But happy new year !!

Happy New Year y'all.  It was a drama free time for us over the holiday period which is rare (until my work laptop got trapped in a door today and now has fractals all over the screen).

Glad to hear news of the new life in the lakes, HMV too.  I'm wondering what life I'll have this year, as I'm needing some job from April after taking redundancy.  There'll be something, if I can just avoid stopping in bed all day.

The good news is 1 beer festival and some gigs this month, and the thought of June, and heading down on Tuesday to make for a more relaxing Wednesday.  Everything else is quite hazy on this first day back at work.

[Curlygirl]

Evening all. I had a bit of a pants boring day yesterday so got all my glastonbury programmes out and had a peruse. I am now ridiculously excited for June. I'm boring everyone I know already! 

What are your opinions for 'if' another festival is on in the fallow year? Will any of you go there?

I'd like to, but I may take the time instead to take the family on a holiday for my 50th, ideally to Japan. If I can get organised to sort something out.

If it's your birthday around that time then go for Japan I'd say! You don't look nearly 50 Carol!!! If it is on in the fallow year, do you think it'll be the same weekend?

Going through old programmes is always good for the mood. Last night I had a cider in my glastonbury tin cup!

All depends on where the other festival is to be honest, I usually try and do a couple of the smaller fests in fallow years.

[H.M.V]

Gah I'm sick as a small hospital and currently sat on the ferry back to Ireland when I should be in my bed. Have to go home and see the mother and sister. Although not ideal going to see a poorly mother when I'm poorly myself. 

Can't wait for the spring and promise of sunshine on the horizon. I'm done with being cold now.

Hello all

Have had an interesting day. Started off a little horrible but my wife found certain 'supplies' hidden around the house, which improved matters. The day has culminated with an interesting business proposition. Maybe selling our house to meet our current needs, but will allow capital to invest so may be beneficial in the long run.

Hope that everyone on here is well.

[lucyginger]

I'm back at work. Bleurgh. 

[grumpyhack]

I'm back tomorrow, though I've finished all my preparation work.  Three courses: my Planks, followed by my Nutters and finally the Bakers.  Good luck to all of those facing up to life back in the world of work.
