What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury?

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Got my local army surples shop to put a few ponchos aside for me to have a butcher at tomorrow morning.

[Istari]

Such a productive morning. Three deliveries. New sunglassess, new wellies, and most importantly tickets have arrived

[dottymum]

Bought bright pink backpack for day - easy for kids to spot! - got blister plasters and hand sanitiser, stressed out over what clothes to take! and stressed out looking at see account to see each time it still says your tickets are in stock and will be despatched shortly!!!!!! it has said this for 3wks,

[Sarah-Lou]

Washed the bedding for in the caravan!

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Went to my house earlier to see if my tickets had arrived. Found that Royal Mail had left a note saying something needed signing for. Went to the sorting office and got an envelope. Have just opened it and it is indeed the tickets and car park pass. I think that'll be it for a few weeks on the preparation front, apart from the training regime I've set myself. That continues unhindered.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yesterday I went to see Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (still amazing) to remind myself why I need to see them again at Glastonbury. At least once. Promised one of them I'd be there so it'd be rude not to now.

Today I have scheduled in a tent practice with my friends at the weekend. None of us have gardens, living in a city, so we have to meet in a park to make a day of it. Can't wait!

[BA4 4BY]

Had the car serviced for the first time in 4 years (I know mileage is only part of the story when it comes to servicing intervals, but in my defence I've only done 9,000 miles in that time!)

Took delivery of new walking boots and a sample pair of bamboo socks; having worn both all afternoon ordered two more pairs of socks.

Researched gaiters to go with new boots (hopefully won't need them though!) Any recommendations would be welcomed as I haven't used gaiters before.

[slats]

Bought 2 spare batteries for my mobile

[rexclark]

Bought 2 boxes of red wine and 1.5ltrs of vodka. Now I just have to get some beers and decide what sweets I'm putting into the vodka and that's my booze sorted.

[antbfc]

Took delivery of some waterproof over trouser. Purely for spilling my beer on my legs in the red hot sunshine

Oh also ordered a telescopic magnet!

[ink1ing]

Sooo.. Car failed the MOT! BOOOOOO!

It only failed on 3 bulbs and an ARB bushy thing though so should pass the retest tomorrow. Yay!!

[scmck]

Bought my tent, sleeping bag, rucksacks and sleeping mat. Next up is booking my travel between Aberdeen and Glasgow.

[_jojo_]

Got £50 cashback in £10 notes when buying fathers day gifts today because I read somewhere that you're less likely to get short changed if you don't use £20 notes and because I'm always paranoid they'll refuse to serve me because they don't have change for a 20

[JiltedJames]

I've started some more giant ice blocks for my igloo and have bottled the first batch of my sweetie vodka. Tomorrow I will be picking-up my ticket :-).

[eoJ]

Finished listening to the spotify playlist, got a folding wheelbarrow, some caffeine, plus my 'herbal remedies'

[moheetoes]

Put tent up and reproofed - laid down in tent for festival sweat box in midday sun

Bought Andrex 'on the go' loo roll (no cardboard tube)

Checked out my backpackers stove - never used not sure if it's any good

Asked my brother for my camping bits back

[barkley87]

I bought a new waterproof poncho to appease the weather gods. Not that I'll need it, of course.

[slats]

Booked 3 of us into Pontins at Brean Sands for the Tuesday before the festival,

Only cost £29!! for all 3 of us in a chalet.....

Bargain

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Just wondered what you have done today to get yourself ready for the end of June?

[jollynolly]

Bought a giaffe onsie for me and a zebra onsie for my son

[Sack truck]

Got a bungee cord net for added sack truck safety. Might still get some pallet wrap to be sure

[grumpyhack]

Got the puncture repaired on my caravan wheel and bought a wonderfully silly shirt covered with palm trees from ASDA for £8.

[_jojo_]

Thought about putting tent up in the garden, then looked out of the window and decided to wait until someone cuts the grass, it's like a jungle out there!

[antbfc]

Absolutely fuck all. This is my first Glastonbury and I couldn't care less about the build up to it.

In previous years I'd go to a festival and plan months in advance. I bought a ticket for Download Festival last year a week before it started in a moment of madness. Did very little preparation, took a bare minimum of things to use and when I got there, and I had an amazing time. I went to Bestival last year too - had been preparing for it since September 2011 - hated it.

I'm doing the same for Glastonbury this year. I'm taking my tent, a self-inflating mat, pillow, sleeping bag, tent pegs, bin bags, alcohol, boxer shorts, socks, t-shirt, shorts, baby wipes, toilet roll, deodorant, money, my phone, camera and a camping chair. Everything else is shrapnel. I've done no preparation whatsoever and I don't intend to. The only thing I'm planning is which route to take from Northamptonshire and I'll be using Spotify to listen to the bands I haven't heard of. Other than that, fuck all.

Seriously, how much preparation do you need? I've learned to just go.

[Rodbull]

Bought a litre of vodka and JD, poncho,s from Asda (85p bargain) which iam not planning on taking because it ain't goin to R*** and taking the hounds for vaccinations later in prep for there week long doggy holiday
