Mum, my recollection of something that looks like your Xmas tree is when the neighbours white Persian cat got electrocuted, looked just like that minus the balls. Poor thing!

Our Christmas Tree starts off with around 30 coloured balls hanging off of it in December and ends up with about 6 come January, Little Mr 4 finds them as perfect replacement cricket balls.

We've never had a white christmas tree before,
My mum gave it to us last year so we have to get used to it.

We moved house - so complete clean out/up of everything and we still never found that damn foxtel remote!
Goodness knows what happened to it..lol.
So no Booney - we cancelled the old foxtel and ordered new foxtel (as suggested by CP...lol) O:)

Mum, new Foxtel, magnificent.
The only problem I've got with it is that we should have it in 2 rooms, causing grief between me and Mrs G due to both wanting to watch different shows, I suggest the "taping" trick but it doesn't always go down that well! :o ;)

Mum, Mrs G is a fanatic with some of these "womens" programs and although we have 3 TV's, they all appear to be on Foxtel, most are reruns from many moons ago so I'm between a rock and a hard place.
Do I bite the bullet and go for another Foxtel connection or pack my bags and leave the marital home?

Not a very good photo I'm afraid, took it on my phones on one of those belting hot days.

It's a fair monster, over 7ft. Got it on sale at Myer last year.
