I've had my holidays approved today for June. Now just the t shirts and booze to sort out for a scorching time.

Hurray! Left it a bit late didn't you!

And how's your arm now? All good I hope?

Arms both healed thanks.

Was a bit of a shock starting work after such a long break though. Lost all strength and stamina. Everything now weighs too much

Is it too early to pack?

[MilkyJoe]

It is for me! For everyone else I'd say get those tents out in the garden!

Good morning!! 

It's my sister's hen do this weekend, we are glamping I shall be off after work to go and get shitfaced in a field for two days! Brilliant! The pile of stuff I have to take with me is huge, somehow more than I'd take to Glastonbury!! 

It's sunny at the mo but I have packed waterproofs and suncream to keep the weather gods happy  

 

[Slavivlad]

Top of the morning to you all!

It is shorts weather over here and getting closer every minute to the big G. 

[MilkyJoe]

And may I also remind everyone that today is the last day for refunds so get yours now! If everybody does it the secret resale may last 40 mins!

[mr gumby]

I will go and see Cassetteboy and DJ Rubbish this year. I will, I will, I will!!

[carlosj]

Morning all, sunny in Bradford today, foretelling the stonking weather we will have in Somerset. Have a great weekend too all and sundry.

Haha, everything I brought back with me is still in a pile in the garage where I dumped it. I didn't even clean my coolbox out. Dreading opening it!

Are you sorted for tix Dizzy?  Seen you crop up on the resale thread, or are you just hunting for others?

Don't open it!  It'll be incubating life forms previously unknown to science.

hello lovely people been up in Edinburgh with work for a few days, it was sunny there (possibly the one day of the year) glade line up looks good - although no dub pistols? Dee you are in the know are they not playing this year? I'm with you Gumby definitely want to see cassetteboy this year

We are extremely lucky and got tickets back in October.  I'm trying for Milky Joe and Grumpy - they should form a band.  I have a fondness for the 'Secret' resale thread as it was a lifeline back in 2015 when we were without tickets for the second year running. It made me feel included in the Glastonbury family and eventually helped me get tickets as it was before Neil's page monitor was running,  and people would report every change they spotted on the ticket page.  Some people would argue you shouldn't share such info as so many people outside efests watch the thread, but you still have to be pretty dedicated to get tickets that way and I think it embodies the Glastonbury spirit.

They're definitely playing festivals elsewhere (think outside the UK) Fri - Sun Dotty, so the only hope is them making an appearance somewhere on Thursday

Going to book a ticket to see them in Brighton later in the year to avoid disappointment and get my fix!

Ah OK that's what I thought!  Keeping an eye on the sales for them as well, surely one of us can manage it!

[Skoo]

Hi all! Been a bit snowed under at work last few days, but IT'S FRIDAY!!! And that makes me happy

Looking forward to a nice early walk with the dog tomorrow in Brighton and then we've got some DIY to be getting on with - less excited about that!

The Glasto/Ibiza diet is well underway, and I can summarise my current mental state as "perpetually hungry".

Not long to go!

hope so Quark, they are playing camp bestival so will see them there if not - think my 10 yr old and 6 yr old will love them!

I hope so too! I'm assuming you know we're just after the 2 tickets now?  I reactivated my checkpage subscription today and it's already bleated at me about the change when cv tickets sold out.  Trouble is that I have to be out of the house a lot more than I was this time last year, so am more likely to be away from my pc at the crucial moment. I have zero confidence that I could use my phone, but will have a practice over the weekend.  In between quiz, hen-do, face painting, seeing a client, shopping and friend's 60th birthday party.  Normally my weekends are peaceful refuges of inactivity!

Everyone loves the Pistols!  My live introduction was 2015 at the tail end of the Friday r*in - made it up to the Glade and the place bouncing like it was wall to wall sunshine

Best just hope the kids don't ask too many questions about Mucky Weekend
