Beerqueen Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Packed. Just things like purse, phone and kindle to add on Tuesday morning. Does anybody else find that they are constantly counting on their fingers how many days there are between Wednesday-Monday - so how many items of clothing are needed? I must have done it fifty times since I started getting my piles ready. And it's still 6. Which I just had to count again just in case.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Got burnt yesterday at the beach ? Did 95% of my packing, sorted out clothing into carrier bags for each day... never been so organised, however with the latest weather forecast showing temps ramping up Friday I might need a rethink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Oh and I thought I had got most things ready. Checked my contacts - only had four pairs for six days? That wouldn't have been fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I’m ready to rock & roll! CV fully packed, Glasto cd swaps lined up to play, drinks and refreshments for the drive, satnav so I can report my eta for our meet up on the A37, loo primed, fridge on, ticket hidden away, my festival-only gear sorted, old wristbands on board, bound to have forgotten something. Even have redundant wellies. Departing 9:00am Monday. As thrilled as ever, the buzz doesn’t die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know the bastard things came out of thisr stuff sacks but blooming heck getting them back in...... Need a beer. I remember the first time I tried to get one back in - I literally threw it across the room! I was trying to fold it in neatly rather than just ramming it in. The worst is getting the bloody tent back in the bag on Monday morning. I did it first time in 2017 - so proud! The tent I'm taking this year seems to have a slightly better bag in that it isn't quite so tight and the zip goes a lot further round the bag. So fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Going to pack tonight. Got zero time Monday and Tuesday so tonight it is. Was going to watch the Julien Temple DVD but realised as it’s 2019 I don’t have a DVD player anymore. Dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie 2194 Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Did the booze run, did the recovery potions shop and got super excited...... again..... excited myself to a Nana Nap in the chair..... pesky work in the way for two days then off to the sun drenched isle of Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Update. Despite all the patching, bastard thing was still going down. Filling a bath to identify further leaks seemed overkill, so put it out in the garden and turned the hose on it. Turns out every single one of the fucking patches wasn't sealing properly as it's the flock side of the mattress. Plus one I'd missed. Wasted about 90 minutes, 10 bike patches and all of my patience. Fucker's now in the bin and I'm taking the self inflating penance bed. Bollocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggins Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Well I did it yesterday, but it's becoming more painful today. Decided to get back into the old parkrun and took it way too seriously when there...now have foot pain on the bone on the outside of my foot which is making it quite difficult to walk without pain. I've had it before and it took a few weeks to be back to normal, anyone got any suggestions for something to ease this kind of pain in anticipation of five days of lots of walking?! I've also started getting clothing ready, just waiting on a few things to arrive in the post and I'm almost packed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then probably rely on drugs ( gruffness, paracetamol etc) to get me through the festival 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosj Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Just started sewing a zip on my rucksack as the old one bust. Only been needing to do this for 23 months and forgot. I took MrsCJ to the Dior exhibition at the V&A so I feel I've absorbed some expertise and will finish it in 5 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmazingAbby Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Got my nails done (yesterday). Bought the last of the booze and snacks. Wrote half a 6000 word project report I promised myself I’d draft before I leave Tuesday (most definitely not going to happen). I’m the best procrastinator and I’m too excited to do non Glastonbury related things! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
