      My three year old three foot tree, has now moved from the garden into a Morrisons flower bucket and standing now at four feet is getting ready to move into the house next weekend

      I do not do many lights on the tree, though I do put up all the ceiling deccies as Mum and Dad did in the fifty's, My children laugh and call me stupid, but the Grand kids love it. so that is enough for me :-)

      My heating replacement was started today and expected to be complete by 17:00 tomorrow, After ten weeks of cold, I am going to put shorts on sunglasses and turn the heating up full with a bottle of Captain Morgans Blue Label by my side :-)

              Kids break up this weekend ... tree will arrive on Friday ready for them to decorate :) It will be ... errmmmm ... quite large :) Goes in the stairwell and reaches right up above the banister upstairs. I'll post a picture when the weekend's dressing is done ...

                First year ever I really can't be bothered. Will probably sling some tinsel around my banana plant instead:)

                  I'm not doing cards. Is anyone? Some people seem to feel I'm the ultimate party pooper and socially neglectful because I can't be bothered. I plan to phone certain people that I haven't spoken to for at least a year - because we're such close friends, presumably. Maybe there's something there worth salvaging.

                    I don't bother with deccies seeing as I've got 3 of the biggest furry vandals you could wish to meet! Gone are the days when I get up to find the christmas tree on the floor and my lovely glass baubles smashed against the skirting boards. I did have a fibre optic tree, just a small one but the twinkling was too much of a temptation and this also ended up on the floor. I was thinking of decorating the mirror in the living room this year with a bit of tinsel and hoping for the best. "xmas grin"

                          I'm still sending cards but at 50p a stamp for just second class the postage bill is becoming nearly as large as an energy bill. Since we decimalised the pound it seems much easier for organisations to raise prices and thus devalue the pound at an accelerated rate.:hate-shocked:

                          Aaaaah, Well, it's:

                          "xmas stars"

                          I'll just eat my bowl of Gruel, light my one candle, and wait in the gloom for Marley wearing his chains to come and haunt me.:sofa::snork:
