    Put my two trees up yesterday. Photos of first tree enclosed.
    Not very happy with the photos, looks much better in real life. Will take some more photos later of other tree.
    The wrapped gifts are just white A3 paper (borrowed from work) woth £0.02 per metre floral ribbon. Intend to do some more when I get time.

    Oh gawd!! Trees up already?!?!? Not even thought about putting our decs up yet. Jo, I know what you mean about the OCD :rotfl: I get this, BIG time. I can't leave the damn thing alone once its up. Hubby would just bung everything on and leave it, me I have to fiddle.

    Bluenose many thanks for those pics of your lovely decs because that decs on the mirror have given me an idea for decorating my mantelpiece

    I have to admit to having Christmas Tree OCD too and by the time I've finished tweaking my tree usually ends up with the decs looking like I shot them at the tree from a blunderbuss rather than carefully arranged them lol.
