                    Help is neede from you money saving experts. For the last 10 years my family have always purchased a real tree from local woods and it has lasted well until after Christmas.
This year because of Health and safety laws we were not allowed to enter the woods on the back of the tractor and pick our own tree and see it chopped and shaped to fit our stand. So we were told to pick from a selection of a few hundred already cut.
Its been up 3 weeks and its terrible £20 spent and this is the last time I spend this sort of money for a tree that dropped its needles within the first week :mad:
I'm looking for a 6-7 foot atificial tree as realistic as possible and be available in the sales. Budget up to £25
Can you Help? :beer:
Regards Paul

            B&Q had their reduced on friday - or the likes of M&S would be worth a look ?0

            Homebase were selling them off cheap before christmas but not sure if any stock left? Worth a look perhaps?0

            I popped into a B&Q on the 22nd I think it was to see what they had reduced. All there was was a handfull of boxes of bauballs. The once filled shop floor was empty ready to be stocked with Spring stuff I guess.0
