Our treeis going. How to get it out of hte house without spreading all those pine needles everywhere is the problem. And it is not going to the dump in my car, not after last time  evil:
When I was a kid the tree had about two inches of needles under it by the time we took the lights off... sucking them all up the hoover was a great game...

At Miss Piggy's house I couldn't even pull the needles off the tree (no it wasn't a plastic tree) - some bizarre genetic breeding monstrosity no doubt.

Nick, you bought the wrong type of tree!  point:

Was Miss Piggy aware of your tree wrecking attempts and do you expect to be invited back again?

Ours are down.... all confined to 3 boxes, sealed and clearly marked............ just in case we have to move again like!!!!   sad24:

Now to clear up the mess!!

I've even changed out of my Christmas outfit!!!

I know it's unlucky to leave them up after 5th...hadn't heard of it being unlucky to take them down early!!

Who's starting their spring cleaning?   lol:

Mrs S#1 used to buy her cards, wrapping paper etc in the Jan sales and then, come December, she had forgotten where she had "hidden" them  ::)
Happened year after year. She only ever found the bargains again when we moved house.

Actually I did suggest that one year but she  angry041: didn't agree. Apparently I was too stupid to realise that she would not be getting the decorations boxes out until looooooong after all presents had been bought and wrapped.
Anywhoo ~ Divorce was easier in the end.
