LOL MD, I was sceptical but I didn't think it would be as bad as it was. I would go for the big tree, just keep the good ornaments up high and make sure it is well anchored so it doesn't tip. I think we are going to get a real tree this year, love the smell of pine at christmas time.

Ginger, you are so right. We are not going on holiday until the kids can ride bikes/entertain themselves. You are going to enjoy your sea change so much, it is fantastic to wake on a sunny day, throw a few things together and get the boat in the water (just bring extra petrol lol). I just saw that baby Jimmy is 8 months old! How did that happen??
