Got some lovely hiking socks in Aldi, £2.99 a pair. They're really soft and not that horrible itchy wool that a lot of them seem to be, and they've got a soft cottony lining, should be perfect

So far bought new Quechua tent, an upgrade to a 3 man (not that I intend to sleep with 2 men ;-) as my 2 man was a bit of a squeeze with my case. £79

Quechua sleeping bed (sleeping bag with inflatable matress and inflatable pillow) £50

Waterproof trousers £7

Got my eye on:

Rucksack (thinking it might be easier to lug about than 125L case, though I've bought a bigger tent to accomodate it)

Glowsticks

Head torch (£2.99 from B&M)

New Ray Bans (Chinese ones from Ebay £12) well we can live in hope that it's sunny!

Of course alcohol nearer the time!

It's exciting!

Started with small buy today

*drum roll*

tent pegs.

[Laura_Babs]

Well last month I got a new shiny raincoat. I love it but its a bit impractical as it has mid length sleeves and no hood (hmmm...didn't consider that in the shop!), but it is pretty. It won't do me much good when I am cold and wet but oh well. I may bring my normal rain coat too.

Yesterday I bought a dress with Glastonbury in mind but it will be totally impractical if it rains as it is a maxi-dress style (basically long), so will get all muddy! I will get to wear it other places though.

So so far my Glastonbury purchases haven't been very practical. Whoops!

I am going to buy my tent extension once I have paid my water billl. That's a bit more practical at least! Then the rest of my shopping for new torch/camping lantern, booze, etc...will be done after payday in May.

[mynameisearl]

My inflatable monkey and jukebox have arrived today!

[mandypants]

New posh waterproof money belt and a compression sack from Go Outdoors, I'm well happy now that's opened

[krazyangel]

Corrected that for you hun

[r0cky]

My inflatable monkey and jukebox have arrived today!

[mynameisearl]

Yay! I'm waiting on two out-standing items from eBay before I splash out on any more things from there (glowsticks and fairy lights).

Edited May 1, 2009 by mynameisearl

[r0cky]

I'm still waiting on a camera battery (ordered it on the 17th ) and not ordering the glowsticks until after my group has met up on thursday to finalise plans. Plus get money off them! )

After that as Sweaver says it's munchies, drink and toiletries.

Also need to get my flag painted during the week as well though have all the necessary stuff to do that now. Bought some of those paints that Paul had recommended in the Flag Thread.

[mynameisearl]

I might get some more glowsticks, going to see what the ones I ordered are like first.

I took careful note of all the flag making and ingredients this time, aim to make a flag next year!

Will also go around town and buy some new t-shirts, probably from TKMaxx. I don't want to stockpile drinks yet, they will either get drunk, or get in the way and then get drunk to save space.

[Paul ™]

I bought another few things this week, a new daysack, aluminium flask, headlight and a thin fleece top.. all for £22

[Funkfarley]

Todays purchase for me was a king sized sleeping bag...cosy!

I sleep on my front so mummy and normal bags are not wide enough.

[Paul ™]
