Only marriage ... me and the 'missus' have been together over 30 years now, but we're not married ... but will probably be shortly ... because we are still so madly in love ... or possibly to avoid Inheritance Tax when we pop ... it's one of the two
Did the annual lugging the ****ing tree half a mile uphill because we have to have a real one every year for absolutely no reason. Bonus points to her for faffing around just long enough choosing decorations to make the walk back in pissing rain.
Ours has been in the car port for two weeks because she got it half price. Still there, in a bowl of water. Probably start shedding as soon as I bring it in. Think I'll put it up on Sunday. About to lug all the decorations down from the top floor, so she can do all that on Friday when I'm out on work do (*). I do the tree and lights. *work do Friday. I said I'd go back in May, but now can't be arsed. Same story every year, when it looms it just sounds like a **** night. Last year there was storm Darragh, which meant I could **** off home at 10.30 before it fully hit. Need an excuse to bail this year.
This year, for once in my life, was sensible enough to leave the stand thingy, where I could reach it in the shed - rather than being out there in freezing weather trying to locate the thing somewhere under / behind all the summer crap I've piled in there!
