There was 3 trees, several bags and boxes. Which are now pushed in to an alcove, "until she looks through them". None of the trees served this year's purposes. We needed a slim tree, which we now have, making it 4. It's 6 foot tall and been decorated by two people who wouldn't be 5 foot if you stood them on top of each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Wife: “when you die I’m going to bury you in a Santa hat and Christmas jumper”. I'll be getting cremated and fancy being buried in an OF top tbh. One less on the face of the planet. A right martyr I am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having COPD doesn't help when climbing up and down stairs and hauling and lugging bags/boxes of Christmas decorations and baubles. I reckon anybody half fit could have done it in 20 + minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Got it all down from attic, and she’s tooken over, so that’s fine by me. 5 grandbairns due for dinner, the tree will be barren at the bottom within 5 minutes of them coming in, so her face will be a picture 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I was tasked with digging our tree and decorations out of the cellar, which, of course, meant that they were at the very back, underneath a hundred things. I dutifully emptied the cellar, carried the tree and boxes of decorations inside and said "we always argue about tree bauble placement because you're an uptight cow, so you decorate the tree yourself" (I may be paraphrasing), and as my reward I was then tasked with clearing out and reorganising the cellar. Turns out that the four bags of old bedding, two old dismantled beds, half box of broken tiles, empty cardboard box and seven old tins of paint weren't really needed, so I was then tasked with binning them all. She then had the bright idea that all my tools and camping gear could be mounted on the cellar walls to make better use of the space, so I was tasked with hanging various tents, bergens, roll mats, spades, rakes and tool bags from the cellar's brick walls and inside of the door. Still, the cellar's spotless and the tree's up. Edited December 11, 2017 by Sweet Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, snowy Sperrins I presume? I leave putting up the Christmas tree and decorations to my wife and step daughter, so, much as I would enjoy a trip to Dundee - I could visit most of my cousins from there - I couldn't undertake it under false pretences. Very much so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 M8s, you've all been had. An hour to put up a tree is excessive. Have a word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
