I’ve devised a concentrated list of the things I’ll be taking this year.
You may have already seen my ‘Festival checklist for girls‘, and I stand by it, and have used it religiously, but this year I’ve found myself in an all-new pickle… PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
(Not so much a blog as a reference point from another blog, but all you need to know – hopefully)
What do they look like?

It’s almost Christmas which means one thing – you the time to find that perfect dress for the office party is running out! We’ve tried (and failed, a few times) to lose those last few stubborn pounds before the festive period, so it’s now all about finding a flattering ensemble.
It’s been around for generations, but as festival culture rocketed in the noughties, so did sales of dry shampoo. Then something awesome happened. Girls realised that we could use this magic spray to add texture to hair, and out came a million new hairstlyes. Now, there’s literally hundreds of types of dry shampoo on the market. It’s as flooded as Glasto 2005 (which by all accounts was bloody flooded!).
It’s that time of year again; the sun is peeking out, nights are getting longer, and the wedding invitations are flooding through the letterbox. Dread. I love weddings as much as the next girl, but we all face the same annual dilemma: What on earth will I wear?
As a girl, there are a few things I look forward to each month: My monthly Oxford Street payday blowout and my monthly hair and face rescue sessions are just two of these things. However, nothing gets me quite as excited as when my Glossybox hits the doormat each month.
For those of you who don’t know what a Glossybox is, let me explain….
We all know that feeling the morning after a heavy one… did you really throw up? How did you get home?What is that stamp on your hand?
Well imagine that ‘throwing up’ was spinning around a pole in a transvestite laden robot/biker club, ‘home’ is the sauna of a two-man tent you’re sharing with an equally sweaty boyfriend, and the ‘stamp on your hand’ is actually a moustache from said club. I can’t quite rmember what had happened to the ‘quiet one’ we’d planned (I suppose I shouldn’t have been so naive/stupid to think that was even a possibility).
As I invite you to share your fave festival moments of 2013 following my check list and budget blog, I thought I’d take the opportunity to share this awesome video that Dan over at EAT Films produced.
Whether you pilgrimaged to Pilton or not this year, this is seven minutes of your life well spent. Maybe you made it to the final cut, and do look out for the wandering eye rangers…. IS THAT YOU?! Add to this a good measure of Glasto family frivolity, (close friends, not cult) and you’re onto a winner.
When you have a professional camera complete with super intense light by night, fellow drunks fly – almost literally- like moths to a flame to relish their chance ‘to be on the BBC’ (We weren’t the BBC, sorry guys, but you still made it into this awesome chunk of nostalgia!)
Massive pats on backs to Dan at EAT films; Glasto family member and Videographer extraordinaire.
He’s 24 years old, he’s from Saltburn/Redcar/Middlesbrough (whichever pleases you most) he’s hot in a not-so-conventional way and his name’s James Arthur.
When he sang the first few lines of “You’re just too good to be true” into the camera on the X Factor, he fixed a spot in girls hearts across the nation.
As such; you can imagine the hysteria that ensued when it was announced that he would be returning to Teesside to film a homecoming gig for this Saturday’s X Factor final.
With Nicole Scherzinger in tow- and straddling a Harley- watch as the mass panicked-excitement unfolded in Saltburn yesterday. Enjoy!
PS… Nicole Scherzinger later took to Middlesbrough Town Hall stage in a Boro shirt. ‘Shamazing’.
You can buy all kinds of crap and cute stuff at Glasto.
Forgive the cliche, but, ‘how long is a piece of string’? My friend once did Glastonbury on £100, I prefer to take around £600.
We budgeted like this…
