    We still haven't got any of ours up. I fetched the big storage boxes out from the shed last weekend but that is as far as they have got. The tree is up which is a start - sort of. It came already lit which is a bonus. I need to put the outside lights up. I could have done it today but I didn't think about it until it was too late. Maybe I will remember tomorrow, weather permitting. I had better get on with it as there is only 1 weekend left.

            You are so right! @martin-f
            I asked my eldest son ' how's it looking so far? '
            His reply was less is more Mam :snorky:
            I've left it alone since then but the baubles are calling out to me :hapfeet:
            I love the festive season!
            Everyone seems so much more tolerant, likeable, compassionate, it could be my festive coloured glasses but I'd like to think not

                I got fed up climbing in the loft, is that everything love Yes start putting the decorations on wheres the big baubles i don't know you said that was it there in a bag with no handles back up in the loft start again wheres the big farther Christmas i don't know you said that was it hes in a box four times i was up and down,

                If you want more baubles get them put on tbh more the merrier when trees are concerned my daughters tree looks bare but that's how she likes it.

                      Thanks for your kind remarks. The picture is horrible because the pinkish looking stuff is actually deep red. I put the decorations at the base of the stairs so as not to hamper the handrail. I never know when someone with a restriction might come by and need to get a firm grip without garlands and other items hampering their safety. :)

                        Many thanks Loki. Yes this truly a friendly forum. At the moment my mind is in a tizz-wazz.
                        All sorts of problems that perhaps I am looking at under my microscope.

                        I always try to express myself hopefully without offending anyone.

                              I think all of us are in the same boat to be fair Mike - our brains are all a bit tizz-wazz with everything that is going on in the world.
