My tree went up magically by itself yesterday. My only involvement was chucking a bit of tinsel at it :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

you too have a clever family Spud. My kids 'helped' me put the tree up, then once they had gone to bed, I reditributed the decorations all over the tree instead of the one spot they could reach, lolEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0

That's what I used to do when mine were little Bunny - In the past I've spent evenings between putting it up and twelfth night trying to make it look OK:rotfl: :rotfl:
It looks OK, not as classy as Charlie's tree, but we like itIs it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

that tree at my old house is stunning. Me and my ex bought it from B+Q the year before we split. It was £60 :eek: and we thought it was a 'bargain' as it was reduced from £120 :eek: :eek: :eek: . Definitely the old 'me' - I would blanche at spending £20 on a new tree these days!
It's one of those with all the individual branches. It's a swine though as it 'fights back' when you try to hook them all on and you end up with loads of scratches on your arms."Stay Wonky":D

That sounds like my tree BB which was about £60 nine years ago! I suppose it has been worth the money as it still looks fab - not up yet though! it's still a bit early for me and I need to build up my courage to face the spiders...

Ah yes, I see now BB.
We have a lovely fake tree-everyone always complients us on it-it looks very real-I can't remember what we paid for it but tbh, even if it was £60+ we've had it for 7 or more years so good value for money.
guess what?
the kids and I are still in our pj's, lol!:oEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0
