We are!

DH and DS currently at at football tournament and will be back about 2ish. I am tidying house and putting some things away in preparation for putting the tree up this afternoon.

May even make some mince pies!

Yep, me too coz got party this evening!!!

Bouncingturtle · 08/12/2007 10:39

Assuming I stop Mumsnetting... right putting tree up right now!!!

paulaplumpbottom · 08/12/2007 10:40

We are, I'm so excited

foxythesnowman · 08/12/2007 10:42

ME! ME! ME!

But only if I go out in the rain and get it and carry it back on my own. DP just doesn't seem as enthusiastic ... going to get the tree or sitting in the warm/dry watching sport ...hmm ... he seems to be struggling with that one!

Bouncingturtle · 08/12/2007 10:45

Tree is up, lights work, just got to untangle them!

TwinklyfLightAttendant · 08/12/2007 10:47

Yesterday so not far off!

Decorated it while ds1 was asleep on the floor, he was so pleased as it was bare when he fell asleep!

We are never usually this early, but I like to chuck out the clutter on boxing day so thought why not!

MrsGrinch · 08/12/2007 10:47

NO it's still to feckin early!

[Grinch emoticon]

Oi tech - can I have a proper Grinch emoticon please?

JacanneAbox · 08/12/2007 10:47

Me - I can't wait !!! Am looking forward to a mamoth paper chain making session with dd1 later on today (while dd2 tries to pull them apart, no doubt).

TwinklyfLightAttendant · 08/12/2007 10:47

Ooh turtle you tested your lights first, clever turtle, I never remember

AndATigerschickInAPearTree · 08/12/2007 10:50

Not til next Sunday here.
Already got it but it's living in the garage for now.
I suppose that we should really wait until DH isn't working and PIL are here, as we promised they could help to put it up this year!

DontCallMeSantaBaby · 08/12/2007 10:51

I want to, but it's raining toooo much. We have made paper chains though - need more.

SpottyHamster · 08/12/2007 10:52

We are! I would have been happy to leave it another week but DS insisted! Anyway it will illeviate the weaher gloom. No football for us, it is hammering down with rain- and severe gales due tomorrow. ho hum........

Tanktop · 08/12/2007 10:54

I am going to put ours up tomorrow and can't wait. Hubby will take our dd out first thing so she has a lovely surprise when she returns home. Will have the camera ready to catch her the look of delight on her wee face.

If I had my way I would keep the tree up all year round. Honest.

TrinityTheRedNosedRhino · 08/12/2007 10:56

god that was quick turtle

and well done.........light testing before they are tangled round the tree

sockmonkey · 08/12/2007 10:57

I should be fetching the tree out of the loft right now...I said I wanted to get dressed first. This is the latest I have left it. I normally insist on putting it up on the 1st.

TrinityTheRedNosedRhino · 08/12/2007 10:59

goodness, you lot are organised
mind you we never have ut it up before the 15th because as a kid we didn't as it was my dads birthday on the 15th
mind you I don't have to worry about that now

Bouncingturtle · 08/12/2007 11:03

Lights are on!
Normally wouldn't put tree up this early, it's only because I am very very pg and we have friends coming for a Xmas party that I am!
Now to put the decs on

Marne · 08/12/2007 11:08

Yes ours was up by 10.30, got to B&q at 9am, back home by 9.45 and tree finised by 10.30

The bloody thing has bought me up in a rash

Bouncingturtle · 08/12/2007 11:31

Mine is done! It looks lovely (according to DSS).
It ain't half bad
NOw for a well earned rest!

BettySpaghetti · 08/12/2007 11:35

I think DP is planning on taking DD and DS to buy a tree tomorrow if it ever stops raining.

We would normally wait until next weekend to get one but the ILs are coming and DP and I are away for part of the weekend so won't have time to do it.

elfsmum · 08/12/2007 11:48

mines up, just doing the rest of the deccy's now.

decided to go silver this year so off for some more tinsel

Lizzer · 08/12/2007 11:51

Us too! I'm a bit of a control freak though and dd wants her friend to help and I'm not sure this will work and I really want to drink mulled wine but can't cos pg and I basically can see it all being a bit of a disaster.Phew.....

Anyhoo, merry christmas everyone

yaddayule · 08/12/2007 12:18

Me (after dh and ds come back from football practice) And yes I should be clearing up...
