I put our tree up today - first time buying a plastic tree, got a cheap one figuring it will last us a few years til we're more settled.Good luck getting that bugger out the house without needles everywhere... Ask how I know
The thing is atrocious. It stabs me, it sheds... It's just as bad as a real one. I'm convinced I can smell pine
Here it is in all its tangled, overly sparse glory:
(I'm getting the decorations box out after Bond is finished)

I think so, partner said she's going to have a go at fanning them out in the ad breaks. It's the wiring just tugged between branches that offends me!
E: Ours was only £26

China happened to it! I'm half tempted to unthread the lights and redo it. Or I can just not...WTAF happened to that?
Id be tempted to chuck the fcuker in the bin TBQFH but what do I know
Edit; I've had a substantial amount to drink tonight so dont take it personally

We've never had a Christmas tree in my house - literally - my dad refuses to have a fake one, my mum refuses to have a real one for those reasons.

Reasonable improvement after the other half had a go at it. Apparently we're not doing decorations until we can source tinsel... Which seems not to be on offer anywhere?!

Bingo, we were too disorganised to get nicer ones before the 1st. And partner is unwell so I was left to do the shop yesterday and grabbed them.My stalking is way off. I thought you were childless Lucky. The only other totally non-plausible answer is you and your wife have a Peppa and Paw Patrol advent calendar?
I gave her the choice of which she wanted at least!
Got my bathroom fully boarded, and ordered a shower tray... Cost £400 but should be good...
