      What type of lights do you have on your indoor and outdoor trees FC? They look like a mesh. Very lovely.

      They are all Argos, el-cheapo strings - around £20 each with two colour and two white strings outside and inside (so 8 strings in total); the tree is one we have had for 20 years now and still going strong - Woolworths job that we picked up for our first Christmas together.

          Thanks @Logan - we decided to fit it in with me having a few days off work and also to cheer us up a bit. Normally I am Surrey's answer to Scrooge and the decorations are barely up by the second week in December :heehee:

          There is also a wee additional positive in there - that tree is the tree that Mrs C and I bought 20 years ago when we got together, and we haven't been able to use it since I took ill. The last time it was up was literally weeks before I went into hospital. Being able to get it out again feels like a wee bit of an achievement.

            That's very romantic and glad that you're better now, I used to put ours up a week before Christmas but i have other things to do. All the houses up our close have already got theirs up and earlier this year because they want cheering up.

              @Fat Controller has your new family member tried to raise a leg to welcome the tree? :heehee:

              It all looks cheerful. I've put out Santa in his race car with snowmen pit crew but haven't time right at the moment for inside however I usually never decorate inside until the 15th anyway.

              I don't have room for a tree without moving furniture so I decorate other parts of the main floor to be festive. I'll show you mine when they're up. :)

                Not yet - he hasn't actually raised a leg anywhere yet which is one of the giveaways that make me think he is younger than they thought.

                    It could be from 6 to 9 months, bigger the breed the later it will be, ours it was around 10 months.

                          Well, it's green and bushy so it's the nearest I'll get to gardening this week :biggrin: Fortunately, the cats are old enough to take it all in their stride. Until a desperate mouse runs up the middle :yikes:
                          Will probably try one of these next year...:roflol: wackybaccy tree.jpg
