fiber optic Christmas tree - any deals out there?

Hi all,
I had a fantastic fiber optic tree (6ft) last year, and then the lights stopped working. I gave it away as I didn't know how to fix it, and bought a real tree this year. This was stupid, and mainly down to peer pressure as in my area all the mums boast about their real trees....:o
Anyway - what a disaster. I spent hours sweeping up those blinking sharp needles and although I put the tree outside a couple of days ago, we still can't walk barefoot because of them - countless vacuums and sweepings later. Also, that spray that they con you into buying to stop the needles falling? It doesn't work at all!":mad:
To cut a long boring story short, I'm looking for a deal on a Christmas tree now, to keep until Christmas next year. Id really like a fiber optic, but if you've seen any deals on nice ones (I like bushy ones, not the ones which have v. thin branches.) then I would consider getting one. To be honest, I'm hoping to get for around a tenner or less, as my original tree cost around that second hand.
Thanks

Thanks all,
I'll carry on looking tonight but if I don't find any fiber optic, I'll get the tesco one (not fiber optic unfortunately, but nice enough.
