What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury?

[Ed209]

It wasn't my intention to make people think of M People with the thread title, but it is making me laugh a little.

That song wasn't written for the Olympics though was it?? I think it is way older than 2012.

May be wrong though as my M People knowledge is pretty thin. Although I do know that Heather Small did the vocals on the second version of Ride on Time by Black Box after their uncleared sample of Loletta Holloway got them in hot water in 1989.

[Arriente]

Its actually a Heather Small solo outing. None other of the M People got a look in. Originally released in 2000, sounds as fresh and current as it ever has

Searching #glastonbury on instagram to get me a bit more excited.

Today I have looked into a plastic bag which contains 6 tent pegs, a full strip of Co-Dydramol, two plasters, a half used packet of paracetemol, some asprin (important for thinning the blood out when taking on a heavy one), a spare phone battery, some tissues, a small roll of bin bags,one Rennie tablet, a small bottle of hand sanitiser, and a carton of 5-HTP capsules which I have never used in my life before but thought I'd buy for Bestival which was the last festival I went to last year. Strange, as this bag only re-surfaced at my girlfriends flat yesterday while she was doing some clearing up. I must admit, looking at the contents has given me a frission of excitement.

I got my rucksack out to check it hadn't miraculously been destroyed since it came out for Glasto 2011. Looks in working order.

That'll do for today.

[Ed209]

We should have more annoyingly catchy lyrics in thread titles to keep us singing along.

[Smash1984]

I got a day bag and another drinks pouch thing all set to go now!

I reserved a gazebo at Argos to cover the front door of campervan. Also listened to Public Enemy and thought a lot about festival.

[Krazypinkminx]

I saw Heather small at rewind fest last year. Sounded pretty good

[sedra]

Went to tesco as they had club card voucher xchange for camping stuff which is also on sale got 65l rucksack for £19.50 collapsible lantern £6 and waterproof bags £6 - all free with vouchers!!! Then spotted " Festival Friendly" bag of gin- had to go in basket

[Sketchead]

I bought a camping chair and spent ALL DAY talking to my mum about Glasto.

[_jojo_]

I'm currently schooling the neighbour's teenager and his friends about good music because I am jealous that they are apparently camping out in their garden tonight from the looks of the big tent.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Are you feeling better YoaS? I take it from the extensive planning and preparations that you are coming.

[mr gumby]

Today I went to Burrow Hill cider farm (of cider bus fame) and got a 4 litre container of medium dry. I'll be back a day or two before the festival for another 20 litres but it's good to get the tastebuds in training!

[Van lady]

Purchased cider, some alpen bars, oh and got the tea bags ready.

[bimblebee]

Took delivery of my walking boots, bought some of those mini multi packs of cereal

[oneeye]

Got up feeling shabby; feel like I should be trekking to the nearest long-drop to sort myself out

[miss_renegade]

Within the last week I've bought a new tent, put it up and back down again to make sure all is good, bought my camping chairs, bought a waterproof jacket (just in case, as I know if I don't take one it will rain. Now I've got one it will be glorious), and a day backpack.

As the weather is looking good today I think I'll get my big rucksack out of the shed, dust off the spiders and see what I've actually got in there, and add any stuff that I won't be taking in my trolley.

I'll also finish my list of stuff to take.

[kabillion]

Brought a tent, sleeping bag and wellies. Also started to pack my bag!

[Mrs*E*]

Went to Exeter Respect Festival yesterday to start the training of drinking cider in the sun whilst sitting on the grass, went well although still not sure of cider, maybe I should try a different one....

[Mr Andre]

Bort and spare camera battery and sim adapter and put up my new tent to see how big my castle will be.

[mr gumby]

Quite a bit has changed for us since 2011, new baby, different car, new trolley etc. so today I'll be doing a practice run of packing the car. Going shopping tomorrow for all the remaining supplies apart from last minute bits like milk and cider. :-)

[Familiar2billions]

I havent done jack sh*t yet. I seriously need to get my arse in to gear although i want to try and travel as light as possible this year... although we all know that never ends up happening!
