    I have a 6 foot fibre optic tree which constantly changes colours.
    Where did you get it and do they deliver to cloggers?

      It's Jr's first bday tomorrow - I still cannot believe its been a year!!

      Soooooo, maybe when the birthday paraphenalia is down, I'll convice himself to get the decorations out. We've a plastic tree which I think is grand and he hates. I suspect this year, I'll spend most of my time trying to stop Jr from either pulling it down or trying to eat it. Fun times eh?

          In Soviet family we can have the decs up till March or summert, but as I am the archetypal Scrooge I've usually done an Arthur Fowler by New Year (Noviy God)...

          Did you know Russian for God is 'Bog' - no wonder they went all aetheist...

            Yeah, I know what you mean, it's better for her to have a proper b-day than it lumped in with Christmas.

                Ye gods, I despair when I see trees and decorations up weeks before the damn day.

                Put it up the weekend before Christmas (at the earliest).

                Bah Humbug!!!

                    Homebase about 3 years ago, for a couple of hundred quid or something.

                    I imagine one can buy them online, but anyway aren't you visiting Blighty for a week or too before Christmas?
