I will look through them when I can.... thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware that not all PMs were getting through.

SRS - one year, being short of money, I got all my decorations from the hedgerows. Someone had cut down a blackthorn tree nearby so I culled some branches from there, sprayed them silver and suspended them horizontally from the ceiling. Onto these I hung silver foil strips (lamenetta) and silvered pine cones. It all looked very effective and Christmassy. Total cost to me was £2.00 for the silver spray and 45p for the reel of invisible thread.

The whole effect was improved whenever the chap upstairs walked across his floor because the vibrations caused them to shimmer beautifully.

A pub I know has white sprayed beech branches that they staple to the ceiling and smother in plain white little lights - stunning effect against the black ceiling beams.
