Decs are down. Wrestling the balsam hill tree into the bag was interesting. Still preferred it to all the pine needles from a real tree though.
I still haven't managed to get mine in the bag...2/3 are and the final 1/3 sits on the top
That woukd have been much easier!I still haven't managed to get mine in the bag...2/3 are and the final 1/3 sits on the top
After wrestling it in we realised it won't fit in the loft
it's wider than the loft hatch!So will need to store it in the garage
I force mine through said loft hatch. Only got a damp shed and I'll not be putting it thereThat woukd have been much easier!

. Had to buy another tree bag for the final third...had it 3 years now and never achieved back in the bag 
Some of my family only put their tree up for one week, what’s the point?!
Should we start a 2024 countdown thread? 
Only 358 days to go.
Though Orthodox Christians celebrate on the 7th. So you could have Christmas in 5 days.

My mum does this!!! Leaves it as late as possible to put up and takes it right down after Christmas.
Whereas I put mine up middleish November and try keep it up as long as I can
Has anyone bought any presents for next Christmas in the sales? 
.
I bought a reduced festive reed diffuser for myself and they sent me 6 and charged for 1!. I'm having a moral dilemma but they would be great to pop away for next years gifting (would they even keep ok that long?).

There's also Candlemas, 2nd February, which is used as the end of the Christmas period. So you could, if you wanted, to keep things up until then. Should I ever have a tree again, that's when mine would come down.
All my 2024 birthdays are done as are 90% of xmasHas anyone bought any presents for next Christmas in the sales?

I've never had issue with reed diffusers etc when stored correctly.
I can fully get behind this!All my 2024 birthdays are done as are 90% of xmas
I came across some sea monkey sets reduced from £12 to £2 so bought a load for birthday parties - class mate's mum's "why does she always gift sea monkeys?"

Ha ha Asda. Although it was a food asda and the lady said they were mis delivered so being sold off.Where was this! Spent a fortune on those gits recently
I do feel like I'm gifting heartache though as they never last more than a few months
.
have ordered a couple of bits for hubby's Christmas stocking!Has anyone bought any presents for next Christmas in the sales?
I didn't buy Christmas gifts per se, only bought items once the sale started. 100% clothing items which would be used any way like PJ's, socks and night shirts.
I don't see the problem with buying now, and saving for later as long as you're not getting into debt.
I did also buy flowers for my aunt from Bloom & Wild which were £12 delivered. 15% off with the code from a Newsletter and £5 credit for adding 3 reminders.
