  • I was only trying to look out of interest but shan't bother to keep trying then! lol. I just paid £35 for a 5ft tree from Kays but it was worth every penny of it . Thanks to OP though.

    :snow_laug that poor tree looks so sad, its half the price cos some !!!!!! knicked half its branches

    I was thinking exactly the same thing, but didn't like to say in case someone took it the wrong way!!

    Fantastic value though. You could always fill it out with a load of tinsel.
  • I thought exactly the same - have bought one with the intention of pulling apart to make swags and a wreath! lol.

    I bought a fantastic 7ft tree from Argos for £5 a couple of years ago. It was July but well worth putting away. I also bagged 120 twinkling lights for £1.50.

    In January a friend was shopping in Tesco when a sales assistant begged her to buy a 5ft tree for £1. Now sits in our office.

    It's not quite as thin at the picture makes out. Alright for a second tree if you wrap some tinsel round the lower half.

    Can't complain at £3 though
