Re: Christmas Decorations........
Went out today and looked around for a tree. First lot had them for $60 to $80 each. Forget that.
Went to Wally World and got one for $23, a 6 footer too. Got it up in the room right now, threw in some of that tree food stuff with the water and it looks great.
$60 to $80 :scared: Bloody rippoff.

We are going really wacky this year, black tree's were a big sell out in London last year, so Hub's has sprayed ours black, it's in the shed at the moment, it will only have white and silver Dec's on it, I will put a photo up in the gallery when it's up, I know it sounds pretty strange, but I like to do thing's a little different

It was a plastic spray paint, and the tree looks very shiny indeed.
