23 Days Till Christmas: O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How I want you fo-or Free

So I am trying to beg, borrow or.........well maybe not steal as decorating my flat with stolen goods is probably not the right tone. Anyway I am on the hunt for an artificial tree. We usually get a real tree but due to cost of course, as well as the fact we will be moving at the end of January so I'll be taking the decorations down as early as possible to start packing. Therefore we will be faking it this year.

My tree last year:

I've emailed about a tree on freecycle but they didn't get back to me. :(

I'm waiting to hear back from my sister in law's boyfriend who's family have a 6 ft tree they don't use as they now go real.

Or failing that my sister has a small black tree. (Do you remember that year when they where 'the it tree'?) But it is small so will not have the impact.

Would like a tree though as I think my little one will really like it and the lights - probably more then he'll like what is under the tree.

So I'd better keep begging.........

Love, Mrs Thrift
