yes (assuming its Camp Bestival) we are going too. Thinks a mumsnet meetup would be a good idea as long as we can all find each other!

Long island iced tea....

thelollipoplady · 13/07/2008 17:57

Well DD's are taking
short
cut off jeans
tshirts/jeans which have been 'glittered'
Spanish skirt
fairy wings/wand/tiara
scarves
top hat

I am not dressing up specifically, just taking dresses/shorts/jumpers/wellies/crocs.

Problem with long island iced tea is that it needs coke in it which may go flat after 24 hours, I am thinking woo woos, or 'juice' based drinks

We will be the ones in the MASSIVE tent, 2 small tents inc cath kidston one, with 6 kids, 4 adults, and bunting oh and rugs

If you google 'Camp Bestival Map' it takes you to a map of the site that's really useful to have

The website is virtually impossible to use for information so we resorted to googling

Sophie .. do you know anything about parking? I have huge concern that we might park and be trapped in for the 3 days which concerns me as there's a chance that we might have to leave on sunday .. are they sorting the parking so that you can remove your car when you need to do you know?

Twiglett · 16/07/2008 08:35

we're not dressing up, because we are grown-ups
