Christmas tree shopping in Homebase....not to be recommended

The tacky fibre optic tree died last year and so after a lot of humming and aahing decided to get another artificial one to replace it. Thought this would be simple but.......all the trees on display that I liked were out of stock. The ones in boxes were not the ones you could see. The ones with lights built in were just a tangle of wires and the fibre optic ones only seemed to have green or blue lights. One and a half hours later after going to the Help desk many times I made an impulsive decision to get a light 'spring green one', which actually was in stock but took an age to find. I think you either love it or hate it but I think it has a certain style. Today with the help of three lovely children we decorated it  and put on the new coloured round bulb lights. That childhood magic again..........
