Same here - Not getting it for a while but useful to have it to draw down on! 

I don't suppose you work in HE?

It if public sector and tbh I didn't know it was a thing that happened!

We've just been given one - completely out of the blue. I intend to absolutely wax the lot.

I've just found my sparkly DMs.  Does anyone know where my black Birkenstocks are?  I can find my old faithful, comfy as anything, muticolour ones but they really look on their last legs and I'm not sure they will survive Bearded Theory next week.

A new Anker purchased.

Getting ready for Bearded Theory gets me ready for Glasto. Can't believe I'm going tbh.

Bought a 2nd hand Fujifilm camera so I can take some decent photos

Booked my cat into a cattery called 'Shangri-La' 

It's a sign 😂

Question - does anyone have an enormous sized version of Glastonbury's logo (the one below) they could send me? The bigger the better. I can't find a really large one on Google.

The reason why you can’t find a large image online is to prevent people doing what it seems you’re wanting to do. 
 

The Glastonbury logo and IP is copyrighted and owned by GFL. No t-shirt printing company is going to risk being sued by printing t-shirts with their brand on it. 
 

Nothing stopping you using the word Glastonbury on a t-shirt print but their logo is their property. Using someone elses designs without permission can lead to criminal charges in the UK.

Did a lot of organising my trip. Booked a Premier Inn near the M5 outside Birmingham for the trip down and back. Booked a parking space in Bristol for the duration, as I pick up a bus from there. Also confirmed a slot for my Zoom training with Avalon bars. As this is my first time as a volunteer, I am really feeling bittersweet about the fact that I can’t begin to work out what clashes I may or may not have until I find out when my shifts are.

Oh, I almost forgot.... I also purchased 2 x 10 packs of Ossian ale, however the chances of both of those making it to the farm from this far out are minimal, so probably best to ignore that.

Lots of great organising there, I feel the same about not knowing what I can see as don't know my shifts.

Where did you book parking in Bristol? We’re doing the exact same, getting the coach from Bristol. We had a whole other, better plan that’s totally fallen through after two years, so now I’m stuck driving to Bristol from Nottingham on the Weds, staying over in a hotel that night, then getting the coach on Thursday…I was looking at the train, but even with my green conscience I’m not paying best part of £200 for two tickets when parking for the weekend is half that…

Be glad you could do yours via Zoom ,in 2019 I had to re-arrange a holiday and travel to London to do mine in person! (Also for Shelter/Avalon Bars)

That sounds like an absolute mission. I'm driving from Notts too - but not until the Thurs 😞

Driving straight to the site, or picking up a coach on the way? It’s not the most fun drive from here down that neck of the woods is it!

Driving there - via a stop off in Oxford to drop the 6 year old off! It's not a bad journey, I tend to do the a46 all the way (pretty much!) - the whole a42/m6/m5 thing is a proper boring drive, especially if the traffic is terrible around Brum.

Yeah that’s the bit that does my head in!

I booked a space last weekend from 9am on Tue 21st to 8pm of Monday 27th through the JustPark app for £16!!  It's proper parking at the galleries shopping centre as well about 15 minutes walk from Millennium Square pick up point.  Bargain....

Absolute legend, I'll get on that!

Edit: is that for sure near the pickup? I know there's been a few different pickup spots in Bristol before. It's coming up as £15.40 now...immense!
