  • Got 200 lights at Tesco on Monday for our new 7.5ft tree (had 100 on a 6.5ft one before) but now wondering if that isnt enough???
    If only I could stop finding good bargains on this site, I would save a fortune! :rotfl:

    I got 400 multicoloured LED lights in the end! I haven't tried them yet though as the oh hasn't been up to the loft for the tree yet! Grrrrrrr

    Thanks for everyone's helpful suggestions :):)
  • Went back today and bought the 300 clear LED microlights instead of original 200 I (or my sister to be more accurate) got for me on Monday. Only she doesn't know yet I'm going to ask her to return the others:o

    Hoping to put the tree up tomorrow:j

    I've had to buy new lights this year, and instead of buying one string of lights long enough to do the whole tree, I've bought two strings. So instead of having to wind the string round and round the tree, I've used one set zig-zagging up the back of the tree, and the other up the front -sooo much easier than trying to pass a great handful of wire and lights from hand to hand round the tree, while balancing on steps!
    If I'm over the hill, where was the top?
