Got the Tron buggy ready to hopefully avoid drunks falling into it

New meeting point confirmed. 

[ICGenie]

Got the wellies that I bought for 2019 out of the attic. They still have the tag on them. I do this purely to please the Weather Gods.

[BambooShanks]

bought a waterproof poncho as an offering to the weather gods and found my seel skinz that have kept my feet dry every festival I've took them to.  Granted that was 2019 and 2022 so as far as I'm concerned, they are extremely water repellent.

Finished work today until the 4th of July. Out of office on and now I’m in full Glasto mode 

[Ell99]

Does anyone know if moth cocktails freeze well in their cans? Or will they explode? Want to try and keep them cold!

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Today is packing day.

I stuck a can of the espresso martini in the freezer a couple of days ago, can confirm it has frozen and not exploded.

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

Absolutely stuffed the freezer with all the bottles of water / milk / soft drinks / sangria...whatever will freeze to keep it cool as long as possible.

Also dumped some ice into the cooler boxes to begin 'charging' them. 

[EMorgz92]

Tinted my eyebrows! 

[BambooShanks]

Got a day working from home so using it responsibly to start with the organising and packing.  

Looks like I'm pretty much sorted  apart from waiting on a few 'deliveries' so I might actually be fully packed and ready to go before the monday.  

I don't think I've ever been this organised

Got a load of sh*t sorted the past few days. 

My brother is getting married next weekend so it pretty much rules out any Glasto packing. 

So this weekend we’ve….

- Charged the battery packs 
- Bought our booze 
- Dusted off the camping gear and added it to “the pile” 
- Packed our clothes 
- Ordered a new rain jacket (which won’t be needed)
- Seen a man about a dog 

Not much to do now really, apart from the skittles vodka which I’ll start tomorrow 

I try to delay that part as long as possible as one year I got a bit excited and had to go and see 'the man' again the night before we left for the festival. 🙄

Sangria is a great shout it's immediately going on my list

[balti-pie]

im in this weird limbo, post download and pre glasto, three day stretch at work - manically busy this morning, still lots to do, but i'm about 50% checked out and they just shouldnt expect much out of me at all. Quite fancy a big tall cold drink and then to find a circus tent to have a wee little twenty min shuteye in, but they're seemingly thin on the ground in this damn hospital

Wait what the hell? 

When you freeze cans of pop aren't they like Beer and they pop?

These are just flat fruit juice so I'm hoping they'll be alright...

I know right!! Someone on Facebook gave me the idea...love a Sangria. It went straight on my list and into my freezer too! 🤣

[squirrelarmy]

For those freezing cans, I find chilling them first reduces the chances of exploding.

[Jimbojam]

Activated the Lebara sim card for £3 and made sure data works ready to tether for the group, got the igloo cool box out ready to start pre cooling for it's trip down to farmfoods on the weds to completely fill with frozen food and ice and frozen homemade cocktails. Aired out the sleeping Bag and made sure all camping stuff is clean and good to go, stocked up on Iburofen, paraceteol, calcium carbonate and Immodium. Made sure everyone in group has received fancy dress from amazon for the Sunday. Made plans in clash finder so got a rough idea of what I want to see. Just need to sort setting off times now with diff people 

[ICGenie]

Bought facial wipes, baby wipes and Fruit Shoots so that I can decant tequila and gin into the bottles (it was the only thing I could find in small bottles!)
