Definitely! I wish I was creative enough to design costumes!! Trying to think of a good costume for next year that isn't itchy lol any tips?

lots of lights and accsesories ... and add something random that will make people double take .....for example I went to a butlins  clubbing weekend armed with a toilet brush with a few led lights wrapped around it ....the small things make the difference and are often the things that get people commenting ... let me know if you find a theme ... I like to base my outfits on the festival as that's what we all have in common at that point

Spent waaaaay too much time on efests.

Can pretty much repeat this for the next 6 months, so I'll just leave it there.

Hmmm...I think you're right about this. A cheshire cat seems to easy. I want lights this year! Ideally I'd make everyone dress up as a Wonderland character but they're not so taken with that idea... spoil sports

my friends think I'm crazy .... but once the outfit is revealed .. (I try and keep the updates from previous years quiet from them ) I think they would quietly like to do it ...fancy dress needs lights as people won't spot you at night as most are a little worse for wear and distracted by all the other wonderfull things that work the senses at night .

I've ordered my Glastonbury Mac ? plus I'm going to a gig tonight, so excited, It would be so different if I had not got tickets for Glastonbury! This is where my long ass build-up begins ?. I'm seeing Joe Bonamassa ??

I got my Exec Director to agree to move our bimonthly meeting on 25th June to the morning so that I can travel down in the afternoon. 

I'd asked his PA yesterday but funnily enough she hadn't prioritised asking about a meeting eight months away so when I bumped into him today I pinned him down. He did seem a bit puzzled and asked if there was a reason! (he guessed football as we're both fans).

This is really organised Charm, and something I need to do ASAP.

Any recommendations for places to stay within about 45 mins from the site are welcome.

Continued to spread the love and high hopes in The Resale Club...

We stayed in Frome a few years back. Think it was a Premier Inn. 20 minutes or so from there we were in the car park as queuing at the gate.

@Watergirl and I booked our B&B last Thursday!

The lady who runs it is lovely and it’s only a few minutes walk to the High Street, we love to stay in Glastonbury the night before and as accommodation tends to get booked up quickly I like to get in early.

Have stayed in a couple of this lady’s properties too, she is great and her places are nice.

Booked a hotel for the Tuesday night (thanks for the reminder @Charm). Just outside of Glastonbury. Plan to get there earlyish on the Tuesday and have a nice wander around.

[kalifire]

Remembered how inconvenient it is being so far away, casually rolling over at 4am and checking eFests for any news before the cats think I’m up and snatch any hope I had of getting any remaining sleep.

Booked a room about four miles from the site near Shepton Mallet for Tuesday night. It's not exactly the Ritz, but it's a bed!

[MetaKate]

 I've now told everyone I work with that I've gotten tickets, even though I'm in Canada and no one knows wtf I'm talking about ?

Scanning through the posts too quickly thought to myself... "hang on, someone is seeing Joe Banana's?"

We used to book basic on the way there and 4-5 star on the way home for a good scrub! (Not counting last time as we stayed with friends in Pilton and that was awesome)

This time we're taking our new old caravan. Looking for stop off sites to break up the journey but waiting to get the camper ticket first.

Which one did you get ? I’m currently googling ?

Well I ordered one from Topshop but it looks like it's a pile of crap so sending it back I do have a Mac but this looked cool. But it's not lol

Yeah fashion mac’s tend not to be waterproof either!

Calculated the cost of my journey to get to the coach departure point.  Almost exactly the same by train or car so I think I'll go by train - I love a train journey and I don't have to think about where to park the car.
