Yes JD we are trying. We will be 7 on the day, inc a 7 y o. Magic.

Getting stocked up with food and drink now, so can then push on with house ..... Looks like I am now getting a Christmas tree for my birthday..... Not quite what I imagined but is novel and fun....  Need to plaster room first, no room anywhere else for tree.

Will take pic when we have it up..

Looks like it's a NSW/VIC tree. We have a huge tree we inherited with our property. I do nothing to it. I remember having one in our backyard as a kid and mum and dad sold bunches of it on the side of the road to get a few extra dollars for Xmas.  :D

That's lovely DJ, not too big, nice and green and I love the way it has a weeping effect.

Your tree is great DJ. What I'm really liking is the deep window sill and the beams going up the walls.
It looks like 'Escape to the Country'  ;D

LOL
Weeping effect.... My late Pa would insist on it being straight and I've tried but it's stuck rigid in a breeze block.
E to C... True... See the lack of curtains.... Window cill and beams still to be stained and laminate floor to go down all in due course.

It looks good to me DJ  :) Do you need curtains? I don't have curtains on a lot of my windows as we look out onto the bush and only the kookaburras and possums look in.  :D

I think it is beautiful uni though perhaps a bit over the top with the Mars bars. Very understated and right on trend. It is also 100% better than mine..

Oh wait, I don't actually have a tree nor have I ever had a tree.

Even though I'm going minimalist, I would love to see what the rest of the folk on here are doing.  ;D
