    Okay, instructions not really needed, just spotted everything has a code on it to show what goes where, lots to do but at least it all makes sense. Very exciting. Glad I'm doing this now, then decorating it tomorrow should be easy and quick.

    Your trees look lovely!

    IDL, ours is like that and each of the branches have a coloured tab. Not sure if yours will be the same?

    Erm, grand master plan just out of the window, it's really wide, too wide to fit through doors so going to have to pop it together in the living room after all as no way will be able to move it once it's together lol.

    This is a 6 foot one. I love real trees but find them not very practical in terms of pine needles falling and also disposing of them too. Artificial is simpler for me. Cheaper too.

    We used to go mad in our house when I was little. Have an adults tree in the living room decorated nicely. A children's one in the hall with all our hand made decorations and whatever else we wanted on it. And a life one in the porch. Only a small one though

    Now its just the main one but is a bonus for me because when we get our house we can borrow one of theirs for the first few years until we get our own sorted :)

    I've grown up with real trees then the last 2 years when I have lived with OH we just used the 7 foot tree that our landlord left in the loft as it was easier but OH has never had a real tree so this year we decided to get one. Thankfully not many pine needles have fallen off yet, strange considering the dogs tail hits it every 5 minutes lol!

    When hubby moved in we started using his artificial one, he got it one Xmas even, ex demo one from a DIY store, should have been over £100, he got it for a tenner but had to take it as it was. After a few years though I got fed up and said I have to go back to a real one. I grew up with real trees. The tree is up in the loung, just got th netting around it still, all other bits are sorted

    Don't think I'm going to get much of a Christmas .. I've got trips to two stations one 22 one 23 then having to book one in 29th or 30th too .. Urgh. Probably need to do both 29th and 30th

    I have 7 days holiday to take before the end of the year but the others in my team all have Christmas off and between Christmas new year so I can't take them. Probably going to loose them.

    I know. I feel too cheeky kicking up a fuss what with my sick leave too as technically I should have 9 days because I had two days holiday booked that was covered by my sick note which I shoudl technically cancel but it feels cheeky

    Never mind .. Fingers crossed as good will they carry some over for me but I'm not holding my breath. I did email my boss about them a week or so ago and he hasn't got back to me

    That's rubbish Becci. I can't plan my time off around Christmas, it's just impossible. Will depend entirely on our workload at that time, but I'm not that bothered if I do have to come in as OH only has the statutory days off too so it doesn't matter to me. Christmas has fallen quite nicely this year though with the weekends so still get some good time off :)

    Everyone in the company is supposed to save up their annual leave and use it to have from xmas eve off to 4th Jan. Just doesn't work like that though with my team - we still have deadlines to meet even if it is Christmas!

We get an extra 4 days to take at christmas and don't have to use our holidays until 31st March so have time yet, got so many left!

    I've still got 13 days to use before the end of March! Might get to take a couple over Christmas, but last year my boss just kept letting me go home really early without using any annual leave haha, so that was a result!!! Think I will have to book a couple of long weekends in the new year, might come in handy the closer the wedding gets to get bits and bobs organised.

    Sounds like you're like me storing your holidays for if you need them then forgetting about them Flossie ! I'll be gutted if I loose all these as my holidays are going to be tight next year what with the week for the bridal hen then 2.5 weeks for the honey moon then probs a long weekend for the big hen :(

    I've got a feeling work have given me too many holidays, they gave me 20 days even though I didn't start until September! I'm not gonna get many next year though as my contract is up in July so might try and carry as many over as I can to use for the wedding!

    I have some leave booked in Feb but only 3 days. Got another 5 days to use up before end of February as new year for leave starts 1st March. Trying to decide when to use them, alternatively I carry them over and take them in March for my birthday which I can do.

    Don't complain Em haha!

    We can't carry ours over so I make sure I use each and every last one of them! Because we never had a proper holiday this year I didn't need to use a big bulk of them all at once, we've just had days off here and there together. Will definitely use some over Christmas if I am able though.

    Can't wait for 1st April so I can get my 2016 holiday form in! Hen, wedding and honeymoon
