Yeah - been there with kids and cats. Oh such fun was had by me struggling in with a 6' tree, erecting it in a bucket of damp sand, weighted down with bricks, fastening the tree to 2 walls with marine strength hawsers. Thought to meself 'that'll stop the little buggers knocking it over'

It did. The kids decided it was more fun to play with the s**t the cats had left in the bucket for us instead...

Ah well. Thank heavens for Mr Johny Walker and his magical Scottish happy juice;-)

Happy times (sigh)

Best wishes for the season one and all
