    Well, the tree is up there - we have no ladder, so just stood on a chair, aimed and launched.....:rotfl:

    So on the basis of health and safety, and the fact that I don't actually know if it is boarded up there still, I won't be launching anything else up there.....but I will be adding a loft ladder to the list of things I need to buy/acquire :o

    Still, the tree is off the landing for now......that is something I suppose :D

    Now go outside and check that one half of a christmas tree is not poking up through your tiles.

    RMC, I yearned for those particular shoes for months last year - kept going into the shop and trying them on, the poor sales assistants must have gotten really fed up of me.

    Then I promised myself that if I could get them in the outlet village we visited in the summer, I would buy them....but they didn't have my size :(

    And then they stopped selling them...not instore, not online, nada. And I was gutted that I had missed my chance.

    So imagine, I just had to act when they were in the clearance sale online.....with only one size left.....which *just happened* to be mine :D

    Needless to say, I made my purchase swiftly.....and as soon as I did, it showed all sizes out of stock :D

    It just HAD to be done.....:rotfl:

    And it got the spiders screaming "Incoming!" and putting their little tin hats on...

    Even more of a result then.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
