    We are hoping to emigrate to NZ within the next ten years. We were gonna go sooner, but decided to let the girls finish with their schooling and start their own lives. Enjoy your break!!

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Mine went up the last weekend of November - we are away from home for Christmas so we thought we'd put it up a bit earlier.

    DH got ours 2 weeks ago (free with other purchases in B&Q - only 4 foot, but we were going to use the fake this year!!) so that is out getting a "good drink" in a bucket in back garden (we were away last weekend).

    Planning on putting it up next Saturday. DD is all excited about it!!

    We'll be getting our tree and decorating the place this coming weekend...I CAN'T WAIT!!! :T

    We'll open a nice bottle of wine, stick on some Christmas tunes and have a festive time making the flat look GORGEOUS! :D

    I also love it when everyone in the street gets their trees/decs up..looks magical at night.

    I LOVECHRISTMAS!
