GreenSlashedSleeves · 07/10/2006 20:34

I was being tongue-in-cheek really . Couldn't you stand one on some newspaper outside and spray it black?

PretendFriend · 07/10/2006 20:36

I wasn't

There have got some in Cannock (probably miles away from you) a place called Carols discount store, they were lovely, really stunning

greensleves - its nice to get a response like that, I've been here a year and my op's usually die before they've started!

dh would probably do the spray paint if I asked him!

there's one in the argos book

Linnet · 07/10/2006 21:38

They had one in Homebase last year or maybe it was the year before. So you could try there.

southeastastralplain · 07/10/2006 21:38

argos sell black christmas trees? how jolly

JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump · 07/10/2006 21:43

Ones at Woolworths , but quite small, but lots of different sizes here . Bit at the prices of the larger ones, though.

chocolateshoes · 07/10/2006 21:46

I'm sure they've got some in the Next catelogue
