I bought these... 🤣🤣🤣

My tribute to the Worthy Farm cows. Couldn't resist them, they've been in my basket for ages but they just got reduced today and I got an extra 20% off as well so I had to go for it 🤣

They look good! We had a wander round go outdoors this morning. Sale is on at the moment, decent bargains.

Impatient for any announcements, I've made a playlist of the people rumoured on the efests rumours page.  Not quite sure why, as I think I know most of them anyway!

You know I’ve never thought of asking to do that in decathlon 

I wouldn't have bought it if they wouldn't allow me. All decathalons have a big hall above the shop where they do teambuilding etc.

Found something more convenient to carry my loop earbuds, as what the case they sell it with is a recipe for disaster. There is such a thing as an oversize keychain pillbox that perfectly fits the bill! 

I just hope i won't be asked what pills i have too often...

Told the wife I’m volunteering and need to go on Tuesday.  As opposed to the normal Thursday.

Did my dog sitter trial this weekend and went to visit my sister and newest niece. Trial went well so all fully locked in for Glastonbury now.

Folks a lot of the camping equipment stores still have winter sales on and now with additional discounts as they prepare to wrap them up. 

e.g. Millets have a big rucksack for £33 (if you use additional 15% off code) https://www.millets.co.uk/15979411/eurohike-nepal-85l-rucksack-15979411 Also available in blue.

Husband brought home a trolley for glasto with a cheeky pull down seat on for the queues 🤣 and I told my mother in law I will not be buying new camp chairs for Glastonbury when she dared to sugges mine were shit and needed binning.

 

also panic googled car park tickets as was worried I’d missed buying them (first time driving there)

I'd love to meet you one day, but would be equally annoyed if you were in front of me whilst I was trying to watch something!!

I tend to be where the crowd is a bit thinner so people have the opportunity to move around me … I’ve also got the slimmed down bit which is basically just a baseball hat which I’ll probably use this year . Hope to catch you at some point too 🙂 although I did get a bit carried away this year getting to the front ..

I spotted you at Skunk Anansie and was going to try and make my way over at the end of the set, but think you may have moved on (or taken your hat off) before the end!

Sorting out my charity hoardings

Best of luck getting tickets, hope you are successful, though maybe the dog doesn’t share that hope, a weekend in the kennels instead of lounging on the couch. Our old retriever used to sense when we were heading for the kennels and wasn’t too happy.  😉

I know I’ll be keeping all the tablets and phones out of her reach in April as she might decide to give them a chew 😂

Just sorted my sons recycling application and bought a new tent and rucksack from the Millets link above. Whoop.

[Olshansky]

I bought my flight to the UK today. FFS, air travel has really increased this year.  Glasto worth it obvs, But I didnt want to wait any longer.  Not likely they will get any cheaper 

[2019]

Having pre-tired last year as preparation for '22, I'm going to have to un-tire in order to pay for my '23 balance. Cv is with a recruiter. I'll be the most reluctant candidate any employer has seen. Taking tips from spud.

[Justcalledtosay]

Good luck!

I tried to break in my new Glastonbury waterproof trainers whilst walking around the site today. 

[rwhitehouse13]

I need a replacement tent pole because one of mine is broken (I forgot this last year and only remembered when I had to put up said tent at a festival, v annoying) - anyone know a good place to get replacement tent poles? Any help much appreciated!
