Hope you and van are properly sorted in time for the festival Guy.

Tickets and CV pass arrived!!  Now I can start making the list, sampling the raspberry vodka, getting the cover off the caravan.  We're so chaotic we make See look ruthlessly efficient

WOOOOO!!!! Waiting for tickets is nerve wracking! 

Guy, hope the van (and you) are ok! 

Bloody bootiful down here today, I'm off to Primarni to do a bit of festival shopping after work and then hopefully I'm done! Need to get a bit more booze too

4 days of work left! 3 this week, then a trip to London for Stone Roses, then a day in work, the Glastonbury! WOOO!

Hurrah! ours came Friday - so exciting - liking the sound of raspberry vodka and you have reminded me I have some raspberry gin that I can bring . Hope you and the van get sorted Guy. Need to collect caravan, and do EVERYTHING else this weekend haven't even bought most of our booze yet we are never usually this disorganised - we do have a small pile of wet wipes and hand sanitizer on the bed in the spare room but that's it so far eek! Loving the state of the ground posts - come on sunshine

[carlosj]

MrsCJ is away this weekend, so I've got time to sort out the van and luggage before Tuesday at midnight which is what normally happens.

Work is manic, can't wait for the break.

Stick, weather gods, stick...

Is everyone ok with the Ridge & Furrow plan for meeting up this year, then?

Can't wait to see you all!

 

[sheffieldlady]

I was about to ask what the plan for the meet was?  I'm on a mission this year - to make the meets. Acceptable and doable but I am very easily distracted at the festival. So who knows! I'll pop a reminder on my phone though  
 

[lucyginger]

Yes all good with me!! Will we have a marker/flag/inflatable something so those that haven't met anyone know it's us?

Please do this - otherwise I'll see a large group and go introduce myself as Sheffieldlady. Might be a bit weird? Maybe. That or I'll be adopted by the other group for a couple of hours, have a great time.. 

[mr gumby]

Is anyone planning to bring anything suitable already? I could have a look in the pound shop tomorrow if not. 

[lucyginger]

I'm going to the shops after work in a mo, will see if I can find anything. We can have a collection of silly headwear and things on sticks to be identified by!!

Plan is around 4 at the R&F, which is in Bella's field, just by the gate into West Holts. Some of us are also heading for the Gateway riser in the theatre field beforehand for New York Brass Band, if you're interested?

[fatyeti24]

that's all fine with me, and i will probably be up for NYBB too.

[H.M.V]

What time is the cnd peace sign in stone circle happening again? Anyone doing that?

Cheers. Is that the acoustic one?

[Curlygirl]

Hi guys. I have finished work for 4 weeks, I skipped out of the gate tonight!!

Does anyone know if anyone is running secret Glasto this year? I know it's unlikely but IF oasis are playing I'd be so upset if I missed it. Plus one of the Glasto Gals has said Elbow will be playing the park. And some of my crew would love that. 

Guy I do hope you and your van are in working order next week! Healing vibes to you x

and yes I'm definately up for NYBB and Ridge and Furrow. @naughtygeorgie I too want to do the peace sign thing but how are we meant to get from the village inn to the stone circle after meeting the girls in an hour? I want to do both!

Woohoo for finishing work

So my plan is to arrive at Village Inn bang on 11am (this means getting out of the comfort of my Monty Bus bed way too early) hanging around for half hour to 40 mins then a swift hike on up to Stone Circle.. then run on back down for 3pm NYBB ... what do you think?  I think it's def do-able

Did you see the Lauren Laverne thing?  If not I'll msg you it as it's prob a little bit secret and not for an open forum (which I seem to forget we are half the time!) But We're def doing that 

 

Thank you to each and every efester do for your bloody normality... I've had it up to here ( raises arm as high as it'll go) with people. Family & friends whinge arsing about my being excited about Glastonbury, and you normal people here are with me, it is exciting,  so bloody exciting.  Grrr people!

Yes I've just seen it and I'm going!! 

As for the 20 minute hike to get from village inn to Stone circle... pushing it a little! Obviously there will be no m*d so it'll be easier but it's still a canny walk. I'll be with you tho!! x

Excellent on both fronts woopity woop woop woop 

I'm very very very excited about the secret thing 

So if we give ourselves a half hour with the Gals then a half hour to get up to the Stone Circle then we'll be all good. They'll def be no m*d, I saw on the Twitter that they were spraying the pathways today to keep the dust down! 

Thank you CG for your continued friendliness, you are a shining beacon of glory, restoring my faith in people 

That is a lovely thing to say! I think I love you!!  that's both for the lovely lovely compliment and the dust keepy downy thing!!  You're excitement is equally as lovely!! How about you get out of Monty bus a bit earlier and meet Emma and I at village inn at 10:30. I'll bring cherry bakewell and we'll have a mini meet up! I shall of course be wearing my sequins dress... because that's the law!!

I think I love you right back 

I don't think the OH will get out of bed any earlier... I'll try but I'm sure go fail -  He's an absolute buggar, I'll be up early making coffee, having a wash & basically throwing glitter everywhere.. he on the other hand will stay in bed until the last possible second, I'll be dragging him out whilst covering him in glitter

I'm sure I'll recognise you, especially in the dress, the gorgeous dress!  

I think I'll be in a gold dress, there may or may not be some form of a sequin hat, there will definitely be a sequin hoodie but it will of course be too hot to wear it so I'll swing it around

There will be glitter, so very much glitter 

Ah Georgie you do make me laugh. Just lovely all round. Can you believe I'm not taking glitter! I'm relying on GGs to cover me! I know it's small but I'm packing extra light after last years getting in. All luxuries are out of the window!

Note to self: bring extra glitter for CG

That's 2 of my upvotes you've had tonight Mrs! And thanx

[jeffie]

Hi all, now have rebuilt PC up and running, it blew up just as I was talking to you all about a week ago, and trying to get involved as my work laptop is just pants for this site..  Is that a sign?  I'll try to make my way back through the thread.  Helloe anyway.

I keep turning round to talk about Glastonbury, and you're not there in the office. They don't get it.
