Bag wine? or decanted wine

frosty jacks maybe haha

I'm actually attending with someone who was offered a role in the 'Science department' of Frosty Jacks (Neither of us knows what that entails). Think of the free bottles we could have taken! I could have saved literal pennies!

Bought my Vodka and Kahlua for the white Russians and vodka martinis and a 2nd bottle of vodka and starburst for the flavored vodka....

Any cider deals to be had in the supermarkets...?

Yep I did the same thing last year - had gin and wanted tonic and ended up going with sprite (although I bought the six pack of cans from co op). Sprite and gin still good in my books though!

Thanks for the recommendation - Will look into the flask, last years solution of trying to create an ice bucket from a plastic bag didn't work so well!

Ah I must have just been unlucky in terms of timing for sprite in the co op.  We were in Sticklinch so went there once a day whilst passing. 

I've also tried the bag of ice, as you probably found - not long until bag of water 😊

Morrisons had an offer on for x3 of 10 Old Mount Ciders (various flavours) for £22... i'll definitely be going to back to stock up on these!

I picked up a bag in a box of Henry Western for £7 in asda. Didn't even know they made them!

The science of frosty jacks should be banned under international law

Think I've decided on my final outfits for the fest so gathered all my clothes together into a big pile ready for packing. Decanted shower gel, shampoo and moisturiser into small squeezy bottles. Mended a hole in my alpaca wool jumper (bought at my first Glasto in 2014).

I've just bought a festival stool from the middle aisle in Aldi as their camping stuff is out. The stool is very light but not mega sturdy but might come in handy. 

Does anyone know if the type of waterproof poncho that they sell in Home Bargains for 1.99 is any good? Of course not buying it for Gbury - I just thought about getting some for any old rainy day. 

[Olshansky]

bought a new powerbank for the cell phone.

In regards to the co op on site do they sell soft drinks? In cans of course.

Yes definitely soft drinks in cans.

Are you gonna be pushing a crucifix around in your birthday suit?

I spontaneously went on Amazon and popped a Guns N Roses t-shirt into the basket.

VERY excited now.

I think my main packing list is done.

Had a quick look round the garage for the camping stuff - but gave up. Really need to do a 'tent test'.

Need to order another double blow-up camping ground mat and some other bits and bobs. 

<cliche>Might get some Elton John stylee Sunglasses.</cliche>

EXCITING. 😁

Set my out of office ready for next week.  Still 2 weeks to go and a lot to do but another thing off the list

[Charliehmiller]

Did a trial pack last night, bought a new bag from decathlon and bought the half moon packing cubes to go with it. Seemed to fit in nicely

What is this sorcery?! I love the horizontal zip down the middle. I wish I packed my bag that neatly. I hope the dog got a ticket this year?!

Ordered all our favourite snacks!! Wholesale Mallow and Marsh caramel marshmallow bars, and Tangy Tom's crisps 😋😋 anything to shove at the kids when they start moaning!

The zip or suitcase style bag was a must for me this year after having to empty my whole bag last year to find anything, the neatness is a trial, packed into days Thursday to Sunday..  not sure how long it'll last once I'm there. 

Sadly no ticket for the dog, not sure she could handle the depths of SE Corner at 4am.

Does someone have a discount code for moth cocktails?

[giantkatestacks]

Received a car park pass after noone in our house ticked the box first time around. There was much rejoicing.
