    One of my tasks for today was "get the Christmas decorations up" - the family tradition being that they go up a week before Christmas, and come down on Twelfth Night. Tell me, have you ever had a cat launch itself at you through a Christmas tree while you are trying to hang baubles on it? No? It's a good test for your heart, I suspect... And shiny silver baubles don't look quite as good with blood stains...or maybe they look better...I'm not sure. Gawd. Three weeks of cat destroying Christmas tree. Three weeks of not being able to go to the loo in dark because of what sharp broken objects he has scattered since you went to bed... :sigh: Can we all cancel Xmas and move on to summer already? Please? :laugh:

        I love it! The trees and tinsel and baubles and presents and booze and food are all just icing on the cake. This is the time of year when we remember the gift of love. Anyway, my tree is up, decorated and the gifts wrapped and under it. Do you think maybe I went a bit OTT with it?

                I do it the other way around. After the Gin has been sourced, tested and reordered because of the need to be absolutely sure, IF there's anything left in the kitty then we strangle the cat, buy more gin and one small piece of tat. :laugh:

                  I got a young lads, so the tree goes up and if I'm lucky the tree is still standing an hour later. The norm is that it's bare within an hour and worse case is, its laying down across the lounge floor.

                      Nay. I enjoy chocolates and ginger&cinnamon sweets - and this is the only time of the year I feel not guilty after eating them. Also it is the only time of the year we can find Panettone and Pandoro - must jump on it!

                                    This is a well known issue, our technicans already work with high pressure on this problem. Thank you for your submission. :cool:

                                      I love it! The trees and tinsel and baubles and presents and booze and food are all just icing on the cake. This is the time of year when we remember the gift of love. Anyway, my tree is up, decorated and the gifts wrapped and under it. Do you think maybe I went a bit OTT with it?

                                      YOU ARE WAY OTT WITH IT. This sparkling and blinking everywhere, the loads of gifts, you really went mental on that.

                                      if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

                                          Top right of the screen is your name, drop down has "My uploads" at the bottom. Click and load. IIRC it is only available to reputations of a certain level; probably goldies.
