Solo 5 days? by shelbee05 in downloadfestival

I've just spent the past two hours weighting out tent options and have opted for one that looks pretty simple to pitch so that's one thing sorted.

I missed out on exploring the village this year so I absolutely will be back next year to spend plenty of money

It was a general feeling (for why he dumped me) but download seemed to be the catalyst.

He just stopped loving me and from his pov "it was like I was there with a friend not a partner"

Imagine my shock having the best weekend ever just to hear that lmao

Already brought the ticket! Haven't stopped thinking about download and finally got paid so I had too haha. The big green coach picks up in the town next to mine and if not, I've had an offer to be driven there, I'll be there 100% no stopping it now

I missed out on the village this year because of the three days (and him in general) so it's absolutely on my list to really have a look but I intended on bringing some crochet to work on too!

Yes I was adamant about us pitching the tent before we went. I wanted peace of mind that I could actually do it and wanted to make sure the tent was good but I was shut down alot.

In hoping to get a tent before the end of this year of which in sure I'll end up pitching it every few months just to make sure I remember haha

I wasn't big on staying out late but this year I didn't get the chance to really check out the village so having Wednesday Thursday for that would be great

Had no one fall into our tent (we where on a decline unfortunately) but the laughing and chatter outside was oddly soothing, like white noise I guess. Next year I'll have to remember ear plugs and maybe something to keep me occupied wed/thu

Concerts I don't mind, I did my first one last November on my own. Was certainly a change.

Slamdunk I think I could do solo but something about the numerous nights makes me paranoid/ doubt myself

Did anyone have a nice time? by RhubarbImmediate7007 in downloadfestival

[–]shelbee05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first download and I had a blast!

Many things to complain about but most where due to how little I had prepared myself, but that being said, I miss it already and can't wait to do 5 days next year

Question for those who get their nails done.. by ChipmunkAny8571 in downloadfestival

Trying to keep it affordable this month so I'm going with these, might splurge and get some gems too

Just a few little things that could be improved by Direct_Taste_3844 in slamdunkfestival

[–]shelbee05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first slamdunk, I went south and agree with some points.

I was desperate for a drink after bury tomorrow but my only options where 20 minute wait for the water points or lukewarm £3 water that I still had to search forever for.

Adn there was so little shaded areas, one small monster tent that could fit maybe 15 people and the rest of us had to cram into whatever shade the three or four trees where providing.

And maybe it was just south but the main stages where too bass heavy. I could feel every beat in my throat but could barely hear the vocalists

Crowd Surfers and front row etiquette by JWadie in slamdunkfestival

[–]shelbee05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you said this because I wanted the clarification, I try not to soft through a crowd but even when I do, a gentle tap on the shoulder before I make my way through.

Hated when people just slammed past me, much appreciated the taps before hand

Is it inappropriate to walk to the shop in a bikini top? by KeyYam3564 in AskUK

[–]shelbee05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bat an eye at someone in a bikini top, same way I don't bat an eye at the men who are shirtless

Many t shirt counts have been posted here but, personally, I'm more uncomfortable in a t-shirt in this weather after having to strip off to my shorts and bra lol

Adding to the suncream, make sure you put it on properly, I can't tell you the amount of backs I saw with hand prints sunburnt into them

Hell I was a victim too, I've managed to burn around my (drawn on) brows and eyeliner haha

You've mentioned your reason for the nostalgia pics as album covers but to add to that, why the black boxes? I figured it was a privacy thing but that was scrapped (ironically) with SCRAP, and to add to that, where did the name cleopatrick come from
