Hi :j

Hearing everyone getting on with their X**s stuff and the tasks the Pigpen is setting for extras, I have to share a X**s horror story with you (Pigpen, please don't read this if you are on your own):

Artificial Xmas tree that we had when we were first married, decorations made by kiddiewinks (now 31 and 29) - you know the sort of thing - loo rolls made to look like crackers, doves made from folded paper fans, hand decorated paper cones for sweets, Xmas shapes coated in glitter that got sparser every year, the 'cups' from egg boxes wrapped in foil, etc. Some of the tinsel was threadbare and some of the baubles had to go at the back because they were dented. Every year a few more decorations were added and some more tinsel bought. Absolute mish mash of colours and styles. Every year DH complained that the tree would not hold together much longer and I would sigh that a themed colour scheme might be nice..

Anyway, mad rush after Xmas; were were going away and bringing visitors back with us. Beds to sort, cleaning to do, etc. and DH was getting cross because he wanted to get on our way as we had a two and half hour journey to do. I said it would help if he packed the Xmas tree away as we wouldn't be there on 6th Jan. I tootled on with jobs. About an hour later I wondered where he had got to and wondered why I couldn't see any storage boxes (in the garage perhaps???).

He'd only unplugged the lights (which were brand new), carried the tree outside in the rain with all its decorations, stuffed it in the back of the car and taken it to the tip!!!:eek: (Medic! Smelling salts for Pigpen!!). All my kiddies' past Xmases!! I wept all the way to my sister's. She collapsed laughing when I told her what had happened so I fell out with her. Wouldn't speak to DH for weeks and only then through gritted teeth!!

So apologies if I get a little bit shaky when Pigpen tells us to sort out our Xmas tree.
