I told Devon, who is 15 that I would take her to Reading festival this year ONLY if The Killers,who I love & adore, are playing.

I quietly thought I was safe......................

But no, they have just been announced as headliners on Saturday :roll:

 

I really think my festing days are behind me.

My lining up for porta loos days most certainly are.

 

Help.

Hubby promised Kop boy that if Lowestoft Town football club got to the final of the FA Vase at Wembley then he would take him. Mother-in-law said that she would buy him a football shirt if they went to Wembley. Last weekend they got through so guess who is going to have a lovely quiet weekend in May.

 

:D

It gets worse.

Unbelievabley, the gig she was taking a couuple of mates to for her birthday treat tomorrow has just been cancelled.....I literally came off line to a phone call from the concert hall.

Apparantly the lead singer of Scouting For Girls has got a bad throat, the wimp :roll:

 

Right,I am bracing myself to deliver BOTH sets of bad news now :roll::lol:

Cinnomen, your NOT past it!

Simply go VIP like i do, no portaloo's then :)

 

I havent been to a fest' since i was 8 months preggers, but we will be taking seth when hes 3 or 4 with tiny ear defenders.

 

I think it'd be great if you got weekend w/o camping, then you can retreat home )

 

Saying that, if shes 15, do you think shes old enough to go alone if your 4 miles away?

 

I went to V fest when i was 13 and it was so much fun. That only seems like yesterday!

 

Saying that, these days its a bit more dangerous.

I've just found myself stumping up for my youngest son to go to the Leeds Festival. :roll:

 

The funniest thing has just happened....him being on the last minute with everything...his friend's mother who is getting the tickets naturally wanted cash, so we have just been down to the cash machine.

 

I was drawing the money out, with my 6 foot shaven headed son actually standing guard, when two chaps walked past and said to me...."Everything all right Duck? Need any assistance?!!"

 

He does look a bit menacing in the dark. :lol:

 

They were flustered and embarrassed when I said everything was OK, he was my son....but how kind of them! :lol:

WOOP!!!!

 

 

''Motorcylce emptiness'' ''designed for life'' '' you stole the sun from my heart''

 

 

You simply have to go now cinnamon!!!! If seth was older i'd come, i think ross is going this year again and V. We might go V as a family, because we get VIP tickets from our friends [The organisers :) ] But im not sure if hes too young?

Reading don't do VIP tickets :roll::?:roll:

 

It looks like she is going with a friend ....so I am off the hook, apart from trying to buy the tickets which now look to be sold out (for Saturday)

Little bro' & Little sis will both be there, so they can keep a vague eye out for her - she will be fine.

I am sure she didn't really want to go 'with Mum' anyhow,in case anyone from School saw her :roll:

We went to Cornbury last year and we are going to Wychwood this year who have Duffy and The Divine Comedy, it is only about 5 years away so we haven't yet decided whether or not to camp.

 

Hope you manage to get tickets for your daughter, and it is a shame about Scouting For Girls we missed a chance to see them when they were just becoming known at a local club :(

I got the tickets 8)

 

The local venue website was down,so I rang them & they were wondering why they hadn't sold out yet :roll::lol:

Lucky for me,eh?

So she is seeing The Killers, The Manics, Foals,Bloc Party,We Are Scientists & Bullet for my Valentine.

Shame she misses Tenaciuos D (with the fab Jack Black) & The Cribs who are on the Sunday,but I am not forking out another £72 :roll:

 

I am still questioning the wisdom of letting her go,but she will be with a very sensible friend & a few people I know will be there too,so she will have their mobile numbers. We are only 15 mins away so can come & get her as soon as they have had enough.

 

I guess you have to take the plunge sometime :lol:
