@GreenTeaMug

Music festivals. GOD I HATE THEM. (Only been to one. Never again).

I traipsed around with DS1 and two foldup B&Q deckchairs. Towards the end I turned to the much older couple next to em and said; 'Do you want these chairs/ if I have to carry them a step farther I am going to shooot msyelf'. They were delighted! That was the best bit by far.

In retrospect going to a festival miles form home with my loud-music hating ASD child who had a horror of portaloos was proabably a mistake (although he wanted to go). I spent hundreds of pounds. I was almost crying by the end of it.

Totally agree with you, I've been to one ever and it was enough to put me off ever going to another one

@Sonichu Gin. Just drink a bottle of cheap perfume and be done with it. Yes, yes, yes. In RL no one agrees with me, I am so happy I am no longer the only one.
