[gaijingirl]

It's looking very good for me.... meeting with boss today went well.. ahead of schedule with work... now just have to tackle gaijinboy...

 

[Idaho]

Me please!
Veggie!

Can't believe your boss still hasn't ok'd you!

Just hope the git thinks I am am indispensible when it comes to pay rises. I was going to send you my mobile number for curry team-up, but you appear to have exceeded your private message quota.

 

[gaijingirl]

What time is everyone getting there tomorrow?

Is everyone going down during the day?

 

[Idaho]

I want to get there for 4ish ideally. But I have work wrangling.

I know. I work in a contact centre and the leave for august was booked up in april and I didn't know we were going then. I have begged and begged, I even asked for the morning off but they still said no.
Problem is I am a shit liar and I did not think it through. If I hadn't mentioned I was going away I could have had a doctors appointment/plumber visiting monday morning.

 

[Dubversion]

[northernhord]

[Dubversion]

northern - i'll PM you my number, i'd love to meet up. we can throw stuff at Jonno

 

[Biddlybee]

so dub, you'll have loads of tunes, but be cold, wet, shoeless and not be able to see in the dark

 

[Idaho]

Packed most stuff now. The trouble with having a car is that you have no incentive to pack well and end up bringing all sorts of crap.

 

[Dubversion]

Yes. Nobody can accuse ME of not having my priorities right

 

[aurora green]

he he...^
well I've been sewing bits on then taking things off me hat, trying to decide which side of the line it is...urm...

 

[aurora green]

...The trouble with having a car is that you have no incentive to pack well and end up bringing all sorts of crap.

actually, this is the first time I have ever been to a festival in a car, and I'm just lovin' the whole luxury of, yeah, bring it anyway...

 

[madamv]

Bloody hell, thats effort!! ^^ at aurora greens sewing! Good for you, cant wait for the result. No fancy shmancy hat for me...

Not packed, tent is down though.

Southern news forcast showers Sat and rain Sunday.... craperada

 

[Dubversion]

actually, this is the first time I have ever been to a festival in a car, and I'm just lovin' the whole luxury of, yeah, bring it anyway...

yep. I've normally either schlepped on public transport or been at the mercy of somebody else's generosity. So this time out (we've hired a car) i'm bringing everything, including my bloody suit

 

[madamv]

Yes. Nobody can accuse ME of not having my priorities right

and I'm looking forward to seeing you and your bird tomorrow x

 

[aurora green]

...including my bloody suit

 

[Looby]

I'm packed! Apart from a few bits that magic sam will wash for me tomorrow I'm ready. I have too much stuff, but I have plenty of choice and loads of room in my tent.
I also have too much vodka. There may be trouble ahead.

I really wish I didn't have to work tomorrow, I am in holiday mode. Ready for a large drink and a spliff. I will have to settle for some squash and a marlboro light.

 

[gaijingirl]

Oh shit.. I haven't packed... I haven't cooked... I've done precisely nothing... apart from get quite drunk again...

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm packing tomorrow morning

(and I will forget something)

 

[Lubi]

just started packing...

 

[William of Walworth]

About to start packing ...

It's second nature to me now though after 22 years of going to
4,037 festivals, so packing is quick and easy and requires no extra thought -- just in case, I have a standard festie essentials list ... this includes TENT -- I forgot it on my similar two-festival tour of the South West last August ...
