I can't do it!!!!!!!!!

Be careful on those wobbly chairs, JO5.

oh dear our tree been up couple weeks buT OH Has left quite bit in loft and will not make him go up again!! I cant get up there never have been able to!!
grrrrrrrr our pretty advent lights have gone phutt they started off working!!

Oops! Sorry for the bit of textspeak there!

I think I had one like that Numberplease. Mine had red stars. It hung on for a long time but it was noisy.

Well, I've finished the tree at last and it does look very pretty. Can you believe it's taken me all day? And I've still got the wobble-on-chair decs to do. And there are boxes everywhere.

Press on! 2moro.

Our tree`s gone kaput and been binned by himself in temper! It`s a fibre optic with extra lights shaped like coloured stars. The fibre optics went first, he put the spare bulb in and they were OK again, but the stars had nearly all gone out, so now we just have daughter`s spare 2` tree, very pretty, but a bit diddy.

Is this thread in danger of getting serious?

I had to steal lights that I'd used to decorate the front window for the trees as one set was kaput. My DD came to help me get everything down for our tree etc. We seem to have anawful lot of decorations - I think next year I'll pass some onto my son and his family.

Barrow!

I'm not bothering with a tree this year but in the past I would put it up and trim it while DH was on his "boys night out", but I would have a bottle of wine to hand (it's thirsty work!) and very often found I had to redo it the next day

I got carried away making more on Monday, added loads of Baileys!

Its Christmas, time to throw caution to the wind.

Stop leading me in the way of temptation!!! I've got mince pies to make next.

Could be fun actually.

Then the won't make you feel worse and might make you feel better

I'm already getting indigestion from the choccies!

Well don! Now you need a before you go on to the next stage.

I've found them!!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ☆

Oh shite! Scary!

I meant for emergency services, not husbands.

Wot? His fried cheese sandwiches?

I've been up. Can't find 'em. I'm going up again for another look.

No-one to phone anyway Bags. He never has his phone switched on I'd just have to wait it out.

Wait for him to come back and get him to get them down and then he can dress the tree or be deprived of privelidges

Take your phone with you, jings. Seriously. My back played up once when I was in the loft without a phone. 4yo dd had to find it and bring it up the ladder.

I'm scared to go up there.

Want my drum lights!!!!!! sob

Just drape them casually - no one will notice!

I don't believe it! He's gone out without getting the other set down, the ones with the little drums. That's why they don't look right!

I've got to go up in the roof now. I could get stuck.

But when you get them on and turn your back the tree will fall over, its another tradition.
