Xmas Lights
« on: December 14, 2006, 19:13:02 »
Why is it, that when i put my xmas lights away last time round,  by the way fully working I hasten to add.

That this year the damn things refuse to work  :?  :? . They were new last year, and not cheap sets either  :x

Looks like a trip, to buy some more.

Serves you rigth, its far too late to put up christmas lights, you should be spending more time prepering for easter instead.

Seriously I'm the other end of the scale, if lucky lights may go up on the 18/19th, if not then it'll be the 22 before anthing 'christmasy' gets done.

Can't really have the tree up because the dogs are too boustous and the parrot hides in it.  We bought an outside tree this year just so everyone doesn't think we're grumps.

Underneath the tree's a new den for our dog - she thinks it's great.

RRB - your two mad mutts were OK with our tree last year, weren't they (or was that after 3 laps of Clumber and their Christmas dinner?)
