    We have a reservoir, just use water and the tree normally does okay.

    Then that's clearly good enough. Things tend to be on the dry side over here (I've had a tree take up a few litres in a day). I know ethylene glycol improves transport (it's used in fungicide on grape vines, or at least used to be until some dope watered wine down with it some years back), and sugar always helps keep cut plants/flowers fresh.

      They tend to secured via bored looking 'Security Guards' as they are to secure doors to give them something to do...My experience at Porton Down was odd as the first day on site everything was locked up armed guards (MP's) looking stern. The second day there the door was wedged open, I asked why the reply was "Random Inspection". How was it random if they knew to secure every thing before hand? :confused:

        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:

        Our cat used to topple the tree over while we were asleep most every night it was up.

        New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription. I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

          Who couldn't remove the mouse? Your wife, the cat or the tree? Of course the tree couldn't, you've basically hermetically sealed the thing to the stairs.

          The cat has no problem moving mice, birds, moles, and other assorted wild(ex)life. The wife cannot move anything "nasty" for reasons she does not feel need explanation. The tree I suspect of plotting to attack the cat when his back is turned, and will also not transport vermin.

                        Didn't Meat Loaf sing about Cats out of Hell? "Like a cat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes! Like a cat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone..." :cool: And that other hit he had was sung from the perspective of a cat too (or so I'm guessing). Owner: "Do you love, do you love me forever?" Cat: "Well let me sleep on it, baby, baby, let me sleep on it..." If them darn cats aren't breaking stuff (preferably at night) they're certainly sleeping! That said I'm really a cat person :D

                          Must be the owner, our two cats took one look at the tree and immediately settled down under it for a kip other that bashing the low baubles with their heads in passing they have since ignored it. now the tinsel and Ikea cardboard decorations on the fireplace have undergone constant and co-ordinated attacks

                          You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
